Patch Management
The process of identifying, acquiring, installing, and verifying patches for software vulnerabilities to maintain system security.
Patch management is a critical aspect of IT security that involves regularly updating software to fix known security vulnerabilities. This process helps protect systems from exploits and reduces the attack surface.
Effective patch management requires a structured approach that includes vulnerability scanning, prioritizing patches based on risk, testing patches in a controlled environment, and deploying them across the organization.
Regular patching is essential for maintaining compliance with various security frameworks and standards, including ISO 27001 and GDPR.
