Software Patch Management

Ensure your critical software is always up to date and secure.

Get Started

Your Software is Always Changing

When it comes to the software your company depends upon, keeping things up to date with the latest patches and fixes is critical.

It’s also a much more involved process than, say, updating an app on your phone. While today’s software can usually be updated with the click of a mouse or trackpad, simply doing so ignores a series of important steps — steps that, if not followed, can result in a loss of productivity at best and a major cyber security threat at worst.

That’s why, when it comes to businesses, software patching should be monitored by IT and not left up to individual departments or team members.

Why Software Patch Management Matters

The software that drives your business is always changing. Patches, quick fixes, security and feature updates — these are just some of the routine changes you need to monitor and deploy as soon as possible.

FAQs

What is Software Patch Management?
Software Patch management is the process of updating software based on recommendations and fixes from the software company. It involves testing patches to software before they are fully implemented to ensure there are no conflicts or other issues with your organization’s systems.
Why is Software Patch Management important?
Modern software is continually updated to fix security vulnerabilities and add new features. Without Software Patch Management, your organization risks missing critical fixes and/or installing a patch that creates problems for your greater IT assets.
What should be included in Software Patch Management services?
Software Patch Management services should take the managing software upgrades and fixes off of your plate entirely. To do this, an IT provider needs to conduct regular monitoring of security advisories, patch evaluations, thorough testing of patches in a controlled environment, the deployment of patches, and ongoing monitoring of your systems post-patch. Additionally, the provider needs to keep detailed records of all patches applied to your software.
