With BufferXones proactive patching capability, should I still apply software vendor patches?
Yes, Solutionary recommends that you apply software vendor patches. BufferXone gives your team an extra advantage in that it proactively blocks day zero threats giving your team the time they need to test the vendors patch and install it. In the meantime, BufferXone provides interim protection from Internet-based exploits. Keep in mind that while BufferXone provides protection to Internet-facing perimeter systems, these systems may still be reachable from non-protected systems, as well as internal networks and users. With that in mind, patching of vulnerable systems is always a good idea.
