Explore patch management essentials—from agile strategies and automation to tool selection and continuous security. Learn best practices for keeping systems patched, reducing vulnerabilities, and strengthening your cybersecurity hygiene.
Cybersecurity threats are constantly escalating and the current landscape means the majority of successful cyber attacks exploit well-known vulnerabilities that can lead to system breaches and loss of sensitive information. The time between discovery of a system vulnerability and the start of malicious exploits is getting shorter, often a matter of hours before attempted attacks. Increasingly complex enterprise networks, use of bring your own device (BYOD) and other protocols for higher productivity, and the broader array of applications and devices leveraged for business use also provide a larger target for compromise.
