Anti-virus and Patch Management
what is Anti-virus and Patch Management ?
Anti-virus and Patch Management are essential components of cybersecurity. Anti-virus software protects computers and networks from malicious programs such as viruses, worms, trojans, and ransomware by detecting, quarantining, and removing threats in real-time. Patch Management, on the other hand, involves regularly updating software, operating systems, and applications to fix security vulnerabilities, improve performance, and ensure stability. Together, these measures help safeguard sensitive data, prevent cyberattacks, and maintain the smooth functioning of systems, making them critical for both individuals and organizations.
