A user makes a request to implement a patch management service for a company. As part of the requisition the user needs to provide justification for the request. What three reasons can the user use to justify the request?

1. The ability to control when updates occur

2. The ability to obtain reports on systems

3. No opportunities for users to circumvent updates

Explanation:

To understand patch management, one needs to understand first what a patch is. A patch is simply a piece of code that improves a program already installed into your system. They are created to correct issues in an already-released program when a bug is discovered without the need to re-create the program altogether. Patch management is therefore the process of installing (and managing) the latest patches - code changes which improve the system or fix security vulnerabilities — on various systems within a network.

Based on the objective of the patch management as defined above, the user can streamline his justification for the request with the below three reasons:

1. The ability to control when updates occur

2. The ability to obtain reports on systems

3. No opportunities for users to circumvent updates
