Automated patching is key to strengthening an agency’s cyber defenses. Comprehensive, strategic patch-management includes infrastructure audits, risk assessments, alignment with federal guidelines, automation, and agencywide collaboration.
Automation allows state and local governments to detect, patch and connect systems with minimal employee intervention, saving time and money.
Automating manual processes, particularly security patching, in the data center is the key factor that will allow federal agencies to meet compliance standards and keep data secure while freeing up resources for other critical tasks.
If one thing is constant in the IT world, it’s change. Technology and procedures are often changing for the better in government, which improves processes and services that citizens can then use to improve their lives.
