Patch Management

Patch management is a process of updating multiple patches on existing software tools and applications. It is an effort by the software companies to fix issues with versions of software programs. Unlike in the past where patches were offered as stand-alone code modules, most patches are delivered over the global IP network.

There are also some software companies that offer software that helps examine existing programs to check for potential security risks.

It also ensures that all the programs are up-to-date with all patches. You can also use it to find if any additional patch- work is needed. It becomes much simpler to install patches on third-party applications.
