Patch Management is a critical IT process that involves the acquisition, testing, and installation of updates on software and systems. These updates, known as patches, are essential for correcting vulnerabilities, CVE’s, enhancing functionality, and improving overall security and performance. The necessity of Patch Management policy arises from the constant evolution of cyber threats and the need to protect digital assets from potential breaches. Patch Management as a Service (PMaaS) offers a streamlined, cloud-based approach to this process, automating the patching of systems and applications, thus allowing IT staff to focus on strategic tasks. Managed Patch Management refers to the comprehensive handling of these updates, ensuring that businesses can maintain security, compliance, and operational efficiency.
