Vulnerability remediation is still an ongoing struggle for organizations. A simple mistake could cause no issues, or it could set off a wide-scale, devastating, corporate breach. Why is this? There are many reasons. Security and Ops talk past one another. No one wants to be the one that broke something. Speed is hindered by ineffective testing.

Many software developers tend to see patch management as another tedious security task that gets in the way of the development process.

Patching systems is not a new problem; this is something that organizations are very familiar with. Organizations have tried solving this issue in various ways by cobbling together multiple tools, processes, different teams, and more. Organizations are constantly trying to stay secure and keep their systems up to date, but patch management isn’t a simple process. In fact, applying the patch itself is just one part of the overall workflow, which involves multiple teams and various steps.
Patch management is the process of analyzing the systems within your network for missing updates. This process shines a spotlight on the vulnerable systems within your network, allowing you to apply the necessary patches to those systems. This ensures that any vulnerabilities or bugs present in the software gets fixed.
