Software safety updates
Security patches are software updates that fix vulnerabilities in programs or operating systems.
Unlike feature updates, patches address specific flaws that could be exploited by hackers or malware: The company urged users to install the latest security patches immediately.
Failing to apply them leaves systems exposed to known threats, which is why automatic patching has become standard practice.
