The ever-increasing threat of virus attacks and security breaches place organizations at risk for potentially devastating business losses and network downtime. These risks make it critical for enterprises to continually scan and detect vulnerabilities, and rapidly deploy updates to protect their systems. Such fixes can be time consuming, costly, and inefficient — especially when deployed without consideration for user roles or corporate change management best practices.
