Why Modern Patch Management is Growing Priority in 2024
In today’s global cyber threat landscape, businesses face an increasing number, variety, and complexity of vulnerabilities exploited by threat actors. Cybercriminals continuously target these weaknesses, leading to widespread data breaches and operational disruptions. According to Action1’s 2024 Software Vulnerability Ratings Report, which draws from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and CVE details, the number of exploited vulnerabilities rose by 22% in 2023.
IT teams worldwide find themselves in a difficult position: beyond maintaining daily operations, they must now contend with escalating cyberattack risks that can cause long-term business consequences, such as data loss, financial impact, and serious reputational damage.
Compliance regulations and standards like HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, and SOC 2 further underscore the need for timely vulnerability remediation and patching, defining stricter security controls and imposing hefty fines for non-compliance.
While most IT professionals recognize the need to adopt a proactive approach to prevent security breaches, many struggle with vulnerability prioritization, the sheer volume of patches, and balancing critical updates with operational needs. The outdated methods of vulnerability management, often involving manual processes and cumbersome legacy tools, are no longer sufficient to address today’s security challenges. Patch management has now become a crucial component of a modern cybersecurity strategy, prompting IT teams to seek robust, scalable patching solutions that offer extensive automation, secure architecture, and a simple UI.
