Microsoft Patch Tuesday

Did you know that the second Tuesday of every month is when Microsoft release critical updates and fixes? And with our help, you can stay ahead of the cyber security game!

‘Patch Tuesday’ is an essential date in the Technical Drive diary. First introduced in October 2003, as a financially sound solution to reduce the burden on IT administrators. A series of security patches are released once a month, on the second Tuesday, to take the chaos out of sporadic fixes into an orderly, consistent, update process. That is – if you remember and know how, to patch!

Technical Drive can take the burden away altogether by managing patch updates for you! Never miss an update again.

With effective patch management, we help our clients to stay on top of known threats and malware, so they can get on with their day job!

Patching is not mandatory for a system to continue to run but over time, your out-of-date system is susceptible to security breaches, loopholes and bugs! Patch management is extremely important to ensure your systems continue to run optimally, without the risk of a malicious data breach.
