PATCH MANAGEMENT BUYER ’ S GUIDE

Technology offers boundless opportunities to make workflows more efficient and accomplish things never thought possible .

Unfortunately , as organizations add more technology and expand their digital footprint , they leave themselves open to attack . Within the National Vulnerability Database ( NVD ), there were 26,448 CVEs published last year , an increase of 20 % over 2021 . Without swift action , unpatched vulnerabilities can become easily exploited , leading to a loss of valuable data , money , and time .
As the vulnerability count shows no signs of slowing , proper patch management has become an absolute necessity . Without one , there are far too many patches to wrangle . And with limited time to act on announced vulnerabilities , managing the process manually is nearly impossible . Organizations that prioritize automating patch management can remediate urgent security flaws and address unexpected performance issues , giving organizations peace of mind . A proper patch management tool can also provide a structured , automated process that will help to remove human error and save time .
If you ’ re reading this guide , you probably already understand the importance of a comprehensive patch management solution , but you may be stuck on where to go next . “ Is my current patching method sufficient ? What features should I prioritize ? What questions should I be asking potential vendors ?” In this guide , we ’ ll be answering these questions ( and more ) with helpful tips and resources you can use along your journey . x
