What makes installing software updates so important?

Software updates are any new updates that become available for a computer’s software.

Staff may put off installing these, as older devices can sometimes slow down during the process. However, instant updates are important to keep your firm running safely and efficiently.

Optimal performance

After software is released, users are able to provide feedback, reporting bugs and requesting useful features. Software providers take this information on board and fix issues with software, adding new functionality with each update.

By installing the latest update, your team will benefit from having the best version of the software available – which makes sense when your company pays a licence each year to use it.

Strengthening security

Critical vulnerabilities in software can allow hackers to create backdoors in your company’s network.

Each software update will include security patches that resolve issues as they are discovered. Hackers who are aware of these weaknesses target companies using outdated software they can exploit for digital trespass. As a result, installing updates immediately is always the best policy to avoid intrusion and damaging data breaches.
