Why is it important to have a patch management program?

What will be an ideal response?


Ensuring that your organization has a successful patch management program is critical to protecting sensitive data and equipment. New worms and viruses are unleashed by the hour, and they often attack security vulnerabilities that have been publicized by software vendors. Thus, your organization's patch management program should account for all software in the organization, including operating systems for servers, workstations, routers, switches, and any other device connected to the network, even printers. It should also take into account commercial applications as well as applications developed in-house.
