Explanation

Endpoints that are not regularly patched are exposed to known vulnerabilities in their software and operating systems. These vulnerabilities are often discovered and publicly documented, which makes unpatched systems prime targets for attackers. Malware: Attackers commonly use malware to take advantage of unpatched software, installing it through known vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access or control. Exploits: An exploit is a piece of code or technique used to take advantage of a vulnerability. Without patches, systems remain susceptible to exploits targeting known flaws.
