What is patch management?

Patch management

Patch management is the process of identifying, testing and installing software updates (patches) to close security gaps, fix bugs and improve performance. It ensures that systems and applications are always up to date and protected against known vulnerabilities. 

Good patch management prevents cybercriminals from exploiting outdated software. This includes not only installing updates, but also monitoring new patches, testing them and planning implementations to avoid disruptions. Automation plays a major role in this to ensure efficiency and reliability. 

Patchmanagement is het proces waarbij software-updates (patches) worden geïdentificeerd, getest en geïnstalleerd om beveiligingslekken te dichten, bugs op te lossen en prestaties te verbeteren.
