Software Update Strategy

Updates are your first line of defense against known vulnerabilities. Here's how to manage them effectively:

Creating an Update Schedule

• Set specific times for updates (e.g., Sunday evenings)
• Test updates on non-critical systems first
• Keep detailed logs of all system updates
• Have a rollback plan for problematic updates

Automating Updates Safely

• Enable automatic updates for security patches
• Schedule updates during off-hours
• Use update management software for larger networks
• Monitor system performance after updates
