A patch is a portion
of software intended to fix problems with, or revise a computer program or its
supporting data. This takes in fixing security susceptibilities and other bugs,
and enhancing the usability or achievement. Though meant to fix problems, weakly
designed patches can at times bring in new difficulties. In some particular
cases updates may intentionally break the functionality, for example, by eliminating
components for which the update provider is no longer licensed or hindering a
device.
Patch management
is the procedure of employing a plan and plan of what patches should be employed
to which systems at a specific time.
