Why is it important to install patches on network systems? What are some of the ways to install patches (i. e. remotely)?

Explanation:

computer software patch can be applied to a program or operating system to repair an exposed flaw. Software patches can

1) Address a specific bug or flaw

2) Improve an OS or application’s general stability.

3) Fix a security vulnerability.

4) Patches are necessary to keep systems up-to-date, stable, and safe from malware.

REMOTE WAY OF INSTALLING PATCHES

Before installing a security patch, make sure that you have

1) Backed up all your important documents and files. You can do this by using a flash drive or a computer disc with read only memory (CD-ROM) or digital video disc (DVD).

2) Then reboot your computer by restarting it.

3) Access the Web site where you found the most recent security patch and read through the installation instructions for that patch and then once again restart your computer.

NOTE: Install only one security patch at a time, rebooting or restarting your computer after each installation.

After you install a security patch, log onto your computer and browse around for a while to make sure it is operating efficiently before you install another patch.
