What is Patch Management?

Patch management is the practice of reviewing, understanding, testing, deploying and reconciling the deployment state for software product updates. It helps security professionals identify risks and vulnerabilities within their systems and improves the stability of an organization’s IT infrastructure.

Why do I need automated patch management?

With IT and security teams often stretched for time, many organizations struggle to consistently deploy patches and security updates for all their operating systems and applications in a timely manner. Unpatched vulnerabilities increase the risk of a data breach, especially in a work from a home scenario where employee endpoints are no longer behind enterprise-grade hardware appliances designed to prevent exploits at the network layer. Automated patch management enables organizations to stay ahead of threats by ensuring that the latest security patches and updates are always installed quickly and efficiently.
