Patch Management

What is Patch Management?

Patch management is the process of updating software and systems to fix vulnerabilities, improve functionality, or ensure compliance.

Why it matters
Unpatched systems are prime targets for attackers. Effective patch management reduces exposure, minimizes downtime, and strengthens security posture.

How it works
Organizations prioritize and deploy patches based on severity, exploit availability, and asset criticality—often integrated with change control and vulnerability management workflows.

How Brinqa helps
Brinqa orchestrates patch management workflows by integrating vulnerability data, exploit intel, and business context. This ensures critical patches are applied where they matter most. See how Brinqa manages the vulnerability-to-remediation lifecycle.
