Every day, technology advance and changes the important parts of our everyday activities. It applies not only to our personal activities but to business activities as well. Every system can be a potential target of some type of cybercrime. That is why is recommended to have Automated security – Security patching.

Some of the most common cyber-attacks are happening due to vulnerabilities discovered in OS, and the fact that many of the servers still use old software. This means that there will be no more future patches for those systems, which could cause a problem if some new cyber threat occurs.

Keeping all company’s servers updated can be time-consuming. This is why it is good to have some solution that would keep all your servers and other devices automatically patched with the latest patches. That kind of solution is actually a Desktop Central MSP.
