What Is Patch Management?

Patch management is a component of overall system management that generally includes acquiring, testing, and installing multiple patches. Common patch management tasks include, but are not limited to:

  • Maintaining knowledge of available patches
  • Determining which patches are appropriate for specific systems
  • Proper patch installation
  • System testing prior to and following installation
  • Documentation of configurations and procedures
