Software updates make it possible for your systems to run smoothly and safely as technology keeps evolving. IT support makes it simple for you to keep your software updated while ensuring you get the most out of it.
Avoiding The “Install Later” Button
Software updates seem like such a trivial thing when you keep hitting the “install later” button. Without expertise from an IT support company, it can be easy to underestimate the importance of a simple patch or monthly update. What’s the worst that can happen if you wait a few days?
Well, let’s look back a few years to when the credit reporting company Equifax suffered a massive data breach that affected 143 million of their customers. After further investigation, it was found that the attack had been caused by a vulnerability in a web application that could have been fixed with a software patch that was available months prior. Equifax failed to update its software regularly and, as a result, millions of people’s financial information was compromised and millions of dollars were lost in settlements. With proper IT support, your software will be updated as soon as updates and patches become available, minimizing the risk for this type of situation.
