A place to write about patch management policy
Security patch formats evolved in later years to magnetic tape, disks and then CD ROMs, along with computer technology. A computer user now downloads her security patch from a website or receives it automatically from the software company. Software companies frequently utilize this method to download a security patch to their operating systems. A "hot" security patch downloads without shutting down and restarting a computer. Corporate network administrators prefer to control the installation of a security patch rather than allow software companies unlimited access to their networks for automated patch applications.
