Patch Management

Patches are security holes or other errors in the source code of a software. As a rule, software is never error-free and is always improved by patches. Patch management strategically controls the application of patches to the software in question and is now a standard part of the services offered by most IT service providers. The main tasks of patch management are to monitor patches and to deliver or install provided patches to the target devices within a short time. Patch management therefore includes planning, procuring and checking patches.
