Securing your organisation against cyber threats and optimising device performance go hand in hand. Windows Patching is the key to achieving both.
Windows Patching is crucial for protecting your devices and data from cyberattacks, as missing patches can expose vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit.
Windows Patching also improves the performance and functionality of your Windows devices. This includes fixes for items, such as improved security, productivity, and accessibility options.
Bugs fixes for errors that might cause your devices to slow down, crash, or malfunction are also part of Windows Updates.
MCR Systems use a state-of-the-art patching engine, from NinjaOne, to schedule patch management to your POS Windows Operating System during non-peak hours.
We’ll try re-issuing the “Critical” and “High-Risk” patches, and report monthly with recommendations for remediation.
The MCR Systems SecOps team will be your trusted eyes and ears.
MCR Systems will complete Windows Patch Management as a managed service to the POS units in-scope and will ensure all “Critical” or “High Risk” patches are applied within 14 days of the update being released – specifically, where the patch fixes a vulnerability.
