Cybersecurity Weekly - Season 1, Episode 8

In this episode, Chad and Fred discuss patching, the act of updating your system and applications to fix vulnerabilities. Hardware and software manufacturers are consistently scanning their systems and applications for vulnerabilities. When vulnerabilities are found, patches - or rather, updates - are released by these manufacturers to fix those vulnerabilities. Patching not only rids systems of vulnerabilities; patching blocks the ability for cyber criminals to exploit them.
