The advantages of this approach are obvious. The patch may not have been released by the software manufacturer at the time when the vulnerability data is already published in the public domain, which means that hackers can already exploit it. Secondly, installing updates may require interrupting the system, and in the case of infrastructure elements that are critical for business continuity, such as ERP or logistics systems, this state of affairs is extremely undesirable.
software vulnerabilities allow not only a single lithuania mobile database to be disrupted, but also malicious code to be launched on the attacked machine, confidential data to be downloaded, or even full control over the server to be gained. And it is this “complexity” of vulnerabilities that makes information security specialists strive to eliminate loopholes in corporate system protection as quickly and timely as possible.
Despite this, there is a category of enterprises that are in no hurry to update, preferring to observe those who have already installed a particular patch. For example, the update to prevent the WannaCry ransomware attack was released in March 2017, but its active installation occurred 45 days later, when the attack was already in full swing.
