Patch management is the process of managing software updates, including identifying, testing, and installing patches to fix vulnerabilities or bugs in systems and applications.
• Used by IT departments to keep systems secure by applying updates to fix vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.• Employed in compliance frameworks to ensure that systems are updated regularly to meet security standards.
Patch management ensures that vulnerabilities are quickly fixed, preventing attackers from exploiting them to gain unauthorized access to systems or data.
Challenges include ensuring that patches are applied in a timely manner without disrupting operations and verifying that the patches do not introduce new issues.
Organizations can use patch management tools that automatically detect available updates, apply patches, and track compliance with patching policies.
