PATCH IT
By Jessica Dore, CISA and Larry Dalman
SO IT HOLDS!
Protect your system from critical vulnerabilities
If you knew you had a hole in your tire, would you drive until it was flat, or would you stop to
have it repaired? Most likely, you’d make a point to have it mended because a damaged tire
could put your vehicle at risk.
Your company’s IT system is like your tires — it supports your business and keeps it rolling.
Unfortunately, almost every company’s IT system has glitches in programming that could
lead to disaster. Just as you would fix a tire defect, a computer software patch can be applied
to your system to repair any flaws and keep hackers out.
