Patch Tuesday Virtual Series

Ivanti’s Patch Tuesday breakdown goes beyond patching your applications. Every month, we offer the intelligence and guidance you need to prioritize your focus. Catch early analysis on our blog, then join industry expert Chris Goettl for the Patch Tuesday virtual event. There, we’ll do a deep dive into each of the bulletins and provide guidance on the risks associated with the newly identified vulnerabilities.

Patch Tuesday has been around for years, but there’s too much emphasis on the Microsoft Updates. IT manages a multitude of environments — including Mac OS X, along with applications from Adobe, Oracle, Google, Mozilla, Citrix and many other vendors — which can make vulnerability management difficult. You can count on Ivanti’s Patch Tuesday series to help you stay on top of patching without getting overwhelmed.

Sign up no matter your language or location. Subtitles are available in multiple languages, and we’ll send you the recording and slide deck afterward.

Patch Tuesday FAQs

What Is Patch Tuesday?

Patch Tuesday, also known as Update Tuesday, refers to the second Tuesday of each month when Microsoft releases patches for their software to improve software security. Microsoft Patch Tuesday serves to keep software systems up to date, and Microsoft tends to have more patch updates in even months than in odd months as a general trend.

What Is Patching in Windows?

Patches, or fixes, serve to address system vulnerabilities after software has been released. The more popular the software, the more patches it is likely to have since more issues have been identified over time. Patches can apply to a variety of software, including mobile apps, servers, routers, firewalls, operating systems, email, office suites, and more. Software isn’t perfect, and patches can help prevent system errors and increase security for users.

Why Is Patching Needed?

Just because software has been released doesn’t mean it’s free of bugs, security vulnerabilities, or other software issues. As online security becomes a greater concern, implementing a patch management system is incredibly vital for the overall security infrastructure of companies. System patches are constantly needed to keep operating systems up to date and secure. Patch Tuesday creates a set time every month for updates to be implemented to existing software systems.
