Don’t Let Cybercriminals Laugh Last: Why Your Patch Schedule Needs a Makeover

Organizations relying on scheduled audits to dictate patching efforts are playing a dangerous game of cyber whack-a-mole. Waiting for audits leaves systems vulnerable and cybercriminals gleefully exploit unpatched vulnerabilities. Don’t wait for a formal invitation to secure your systems; patch, patch, patch!

Hot Take:

Relying on scheduled audits for patching is like waiting for a leaky roof to collapse before fixing it. Sure, it adds some excitement, but maybe not the kind your business needs. It’s time to ditch the reactive mindset and patch up your cybersecurity strategy before the hackers put on their party hats.

Key Points:

  • Enterprises are often slow to deploy critical patches, increasing their vulnerability.
  • Relying solely on scheduled audits for patch management is a risky approach.
  • Cybercriminals exploit unpatched vulnerabilities, leading to potential breaches.
  • Automated, rebootless patch management can mitigate risks and save costs.
  • Proactive vulnerability management is key to maintaining robust cybersecurity.
