Great resource for security managers and admins! The guidance is clear and well-structured, making it easier to build an effective patch management program.

With cyber threats evolving, automation is key. Tools like Heimdal's Patch Management Software: https://heimdalsecurity.com/enterpris... help deploy patches faster and keep systems secure.

A very useful read.
