The need to patch has been mandated at the highest level - including by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which recently published a list of vulnerabilities that must be patched by covered organizations.

CISA's recent Shields Up notification also points strongly to patching as a critical step that significantly supports cybersecurity.

Patching is an easy win that can easily transform an organization's cybersecurity posture.

What's more, the automated nature of live patching means that patching windows are virtually eliminated.

It's essentially instantaneous patch deployment - as soon as the vendor releases a patch, that patch gets applied which reduces exposure and the risk window to the minimum, with zero impact on business activities.

This alternative, effective approach to patching illustrates how there are effective steps to take within the cybersecurity battle - steps that are resource-friendly too.
