Why is it important for the organization to have an endpoint patching strategy?

Identifying endpoint vulnerabilities is typically done through vulnerability scanning and assessment, which informs the patching strategy but is not the strategy's purpose itself.

PSIRT (Product Security Incident Response Team) is typically concerned with product vulnerabilities disclosed by a vendor, not an organization's internal patching strategy for endpoints.

Notification of existing bugs is a function of monitoring and alerting systems, not the primary goal of a patching strategy.

An effective endpoint patching strategy ensures that all systems and applications on endpoints receive the latest security updates and patches. These patches often contain fixes for known vulnerabilities, thereby reducing the attack surface and protecting against exploits.
