Explanation

Patch management is the disciplined process of identifying, acquiring, testing, and applying software patches (updates and fixes) to systems in a controlled and planned manner. It involves maintaining a strategy that defines which patches are critical, which systems need them, and a scheduled timeline for deployment to minimize security vulnerabilities and system downtime. Effective patch management reduces the attack surface exposed by known software vulnerabilities.
