Most breaches don't start with a zero-day exploit. They start with a known vulnerability, sitting unpatched, weeks or months after a fix was already available.
Attackers know most small businesses fall behind on updates. Automated scanning tools make it trivial to find machines running outdated software, and exploit code for known vulnerabilities is often public within days of disclosure.
A structured patch management process — testing updates, deploying them on a schedule, and confirming they actually installed — closes that window. It's unglamorous work, but it's consistently one of the highest-return security investments a business can make.
Under our Core package, patch management runs quietly in the background across every endpoint and server we manage, so this is one thing you don't have to think about.
