Making sure your business applications and operating systems are always using the latest software version is an effective way of maintaining and ensuring your network security is in optimal health.
The challenge most businesses experience is when there are too many endpoints on a network for one person to physically check and manage, or trust employees to do it themselves, then updates go unnoticed and security flaws present themselves

What is a software patch?
A software patch is a set of updates dispatched by the third party vendor to improve, fix or implement new features in a program. Usually a patch includes ‘fixes’ to functionality issues the application is experiencing, adds new or improves existing features and improves security.
Why is patching software important for cyber security?
Amongst the other system updates, a patch supplies existing applications and programs software updates which can also include ‘fixes’ for underlying cyber security vulnerabilities in the files.
