Transforming our approach to patch management at Microsoft
Summary
Like most aspects of our IT services journey, our security and patch management story is deeply connected with cloud computing, automation, and, most recently, AI technology. It’s a story that embraces continuous improvement and innovations that are saving our IT admins and users time and hassle while deterring attacks and enhancing security across the organization. Instead, the common approach in this situation is to make sure that employees know about the latest patches for their device and enforce compliance by controlling their access to the Microsoft corporate network. That’s a product we hope will be available soon for both internal and external consumption as well.” Of course, just as with many aspects of today’s software development, the future of patching will be greatly impacted by AI innovations. And as the computer security landscape evolves, with more frequent and more sophisticated attacks coming every day, we’ll continue to refine and develop our patching tools and strategies.
