Threats refer to vulnerabilities that can compromise the security and functionality of the system. These threats can take up many forms and can break into the systems in different ways. To safeguard endpoints against any kind of security threats, patches are developed by software vendors or developers on a day to day basis. Patches refer to software fixes or updates that can fix any kind of vulnerabilities in the system. The need for patches arises because no software is perfect and vulnerabilities can be discovered over time. Threat actors often attempt to exploit these vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access, steal information, or disrupt systems. Patches are crucial for maintaining the security and stability of software and protecting users from potential threats.
With a highly efficient vulnerability assessment system, Endpoint Central provides a risk basis diagnosis framework to mitigate different kinds of security threats that can destruct the functionality of the system. The pro-active diagnosis of zero-day vulnerabilities can help you discover gaps or flaws in applications or operating systems.
