Patch Management

Patch management involves distributing and applying software updates, known as patches, to address errors or vulnerabilities in software. These updates are essential for maintaining security, system uptime, compliance, and feature improvements.

Security is a primary reason for patch management, as it fixes vulnerabilities in software that could be exploited by cyberattacks, reducing security risks for organizations. Additionally, regular patching ensures smooth system operation and supports uptime, while also aiding compliance efforts mandated by regulatory bodies.
