Security fixes are updates or patches applied to software or systems to correct vulnerabilities and improve protection against threats. These modifications address identified weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors, ranging from coding errors to architectural flaws. Prompt application of security fixes is critical for maintaining system integrity, protecting data, and preventing unauthorized access or denial-of-service attacks. They are an essential component of a comprehensive cybersecurity posture.
