“Patching software is like maintaining your car; it will still run without maintenance, but driving becomes more and more dangerous the longer you go on without a check-up.” Brian Donohue, Technology Journalist Cyber4Sight
As a professional MSP, you already know the importance of patch management, even if it can sometimes be a hard sell to your clients. Companies are often reluctant to implement a regular patch management process because it’s time-consuming and detracts from project based activities. It’s typically not given a high priority due to the overconfident attitude that “a breach won’t happen to us”. It’s also difficult to establish and follow a clear patching protocol, so the entire process is consistently deprioritized.
All of these factors make it the perfect technical activity for your customers to outsource, and ideally, you will already be offering it to your clients. But are you providing the most efficient and cost-effective service?
If you’re utilizing your high-value, high-cost local staff for customer patch management, you are likely falling into the same trap as your clients, with some problematic patches going uninstalled month after month and reporting falling behind schedule.
