Software updates improve your computer’s performance, fix bugs, and install new features. More importantly, they provide critical updates to “patch” security weaknesses.
America’s Cyber Defense Agency (CISA*) recommends updating software promptly.
- Turn on automatic updates – especially for web browsers and antivirus software
- Watch for notifications – not all updates are automatic
- Install updates as soon as possible – especially operations systems and other critical updates
Including information on software update requests in your company’s cybersecurity policy provides an additional way to empower your employees to reduce potential security incidents.
