This new key text provides readers with a detailed explanation of implementing the patch management process. This book walks through how the patches should be implemented on the devices and systems with an infrastructure, how to distribute them in a timely manner, and discusses the patch management lifecycle. The text is arranged in a top down approach, starting with a high level look at patch management, digging deeper into what to patch and the tools that can be used, and finally at the process itself and how to pull it together.
