So you have been tasked with keeping 400 computers up-to-date and safe from compromise. Congratulations. You have one of the most thankless jobs in the organization.  But seriously, how are you going to do this? Have you heard of patch management policy? Do you have one? Do you have a patch management strategy in place? If so, how do you audit it for compliance? There are many issues here. And you came to the right place. Read on. Learn about our PC patching management best practices.

As the size of your body of managed systems grows, implementing a patch management policy become crucial to ensure the safety and security of your systems. Allowing computers to run updates automatically and outside of the control of the IT department may work is a smaller environment, but as the number of computers approaches a medium to large scale, having a patch management policy in place is of utmost importance. A patch management policy should clearly state the speed and frequency of update identification, acquisition and distribution. The patch management policy should require end users to follow the prompts provided by the system update service and restart their machines as requested.
