Virtually all software products - including Operating Systems - encounter bugs throughout their lifetime. If these bugs are exploited before the software vendor fixes them or before a fix is applied, attackers can: |
•Take advantage of the software's elevated privileges
•Gain access to unauthorized information inside the software product
•Gain access to the OS / network the software is installed on
|
It's important that a company has a coherent patch management solution in place, that ensures that all software and hardware is patched on a regular basis:
•Operating Systems •Client Software •Server Software •Hardware Devices |
