Patch Management is one of the most critical strategies in modern cybersecurity. It involves identifying, acquiring, testing, and deploying software updates to fix vulnerabilities, enhance performance, and prevent attacks. In today’s evolving threat landscape, efficient patching is not optional — it’s vital.

Why is Patch Management so important?

Over 60% of security breaches happen due to unpatched software. Just one missed update can open the door to ransomware, malware, or unauthorized access. Businesses of all sizes need a system that ensures timely updates without disrupting operations.
