Security vulnerabilities in any system are an open door for allowing access to unauthorized individuals. Shielding systems from security vulnerabilities is a process in most cases of updating to a current software release or installing a security patch depending on the vendor. Ensure that all systems are continuously monitored for security vulnerabilities and apply updates to resolve any open vulnerabilities.
ECS provides patches for any open security vulnerabilities. For more information on the ECS software release frequency, refer to the ECS Release Notes white paper.
