Software updates often fix security weaknesses that attackers already know about. Delaying updates leaves the door open.
What gets updated
- Operating systems on computers, servers and phones
- Web browsers and plugins
- Business applications and website platforms
- Network devices such as routers and firewalls
Automate where possible
Automatic updates for devices and browsers remove the burden from busy staff.
Test critical systems
For important servers, test updates in a separate environment first, then apply them on a regular schedule.
Replace unsupported software
When a product reaches end of life it no longer receives security fixes. Plan replacements well in advance.
Keeping software current is one of the simplest and most effective security practices available.
