Keeping your systems up to date

Close the doors attackers already know about.

Security patch management is the process of identifying, testing and applying updates to software and systems to fix security vulnerabilities and improve functionality. Vendors release patches to fix flaws attackers could exploit.

Done consistently, patching reduces risk, maintains stability and supports compliance.

How it works

Security Patch Management, done properly.

Vulnerability fixing

Patches close the holes behind unauthorized access, breaches and ransomware.

Compliance

Many regulations, GDPR among them, expect timely patching.

Exploit prevention

Attackers target known vulnerabilities in unpatched software.

System stability

Patches also fix bugs and performance issues, reducing downtime.

Patching is unglamorous, essential work, so we make it routine, tested and documented.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do you test patches before deploying them?

Yes. Patch management means identifying, testing and then applying updates, so fixes don't introduce new problems.

Which systems do you patch?

Operating systems and the software running on your servers and workstations, as part of our managed service.

Why can't we rely on automatic updates?

Automatic updates are inconsistent across devices and give you no record of what was applied. Managed patching is verified and reported.
