Patch Management focuses on identifying, testing, deploying, and managing software updates across systems, ensuring that infrastructure, applications, and platforms remain secure, stable, and up to date.
Patch management is the process of acquiring, testing, and installing updates to software systems to fix vulnerabilities and improve performance
