What is security patch management?
A. Failing to implement a comprehensive patch management strategy could have severe consequences for enterprises – critical business production systems may fail, or security-sensitive systems could be maliciously exploited – all leading to a potential loss in productivity, time, access to business applications, and subsequent revenue. Systems Management Server 2003 delivers an enterprise proven solution for managing patch deployment, providing a set of tools and processes that enables quick and easy determination of Windows-based systems in need of critical updates, and the ability to test and reliably deploy these updates throughout their environment, allowing enterprises to proactively maintain the integrity of their Windows environment.
