Don’t Skip The Features
Have you ever read over the list of things your antivirus does and come across the words “patch management?” Maybe you know what it means, or maybe you glossed over it. I used to do that. Glossing over terms I didn’t understand that were included in products I purchased was pretty normal.
But this is a pretty handy little feature. Essentially, the product installed with patch management updates commonly used software. This means you’re getting the most up-to-date and secure versions of programs you’re running without having to manually update them each time.
Cool, right?
Why Do I Want It?
Not only does keeping your software up-to-date afford you the latest security features, it also makes sure you’re running the latest version. Version upgrades include improvements, new features, and yes, security updates. So having a feature that does this automatically saves you time and potential frustration.
Plus, who doesn’t love when something cumbersome is automated? Instead of being prompted to update when you open a piece of software, it’s just done. Easy peasy. It’s nice that there won’t be a prompt stopping you when you’re in the middle of doing something else.
Feature Fun
Added features like patch management make your antivirus tools work better for you. Are there any features you’d like to see in your current product? Let us know on our socials what’s on your feature wishlist.
As always, stay safe out there.
