10 Challenges with Third-party Application Patch Management

The process of deploying patch updates to third-party applications installed on your endpoints (e.g., servers, desktops, or laptops) is known as third-party patching, or third-party patch management. A third-party application patch management tool patches vulnerabilities to fix bugs, enhance functionality, and reduce the risk of a cyber attack.

  1. 10 Challenges with Third-party Application Patch Management The process of deploying patch updates to third-party applications installed on your endpoints (e.g., servers, desktops, or laptops) is known as third-party patching, or third-party patch management. A third-party application patch management tool patches vulnerabilities to fix bugs, enhance functionality, and reduce the risk of a cyber attack. However, there are several challenges associated with managing patches for third-party applications:

  2. Challenges • Keeping track of all the installed applications and their corresponding patches is daunting in large organizations with thousands of devices. • Some third-party applications don't have a formal patch management process making it difficult to identify and deploy patches regularly. • Some patches require complex installation procedures, and applying a patch to an application may cause compatibility issues. • As soon as patches are available, sometimes third-party application patch management tools fail to receive them and require manual intervention.

  3. Challenges • Deploying patches across an extensive network is time-consuming, resource-intensive, and sometimes error-prone. • Lack of extensive monitoring, tracking, and testing before deployment give rise to data-related issues as the patch can modify data in some way. • Patches aren't always perfect. Sometimes these updates are compromised and give access to cybercriminals. Adaptiva Confidential

  4. Challenges • Any unpatched critical vulnerability in third-party patch management creates a gateway for cybercriminals to enter the corporate network. • Your third-party patch management process may increase operational risk depending on your organization's situation and security infrastructure. • Some third-party applications may not have comprehensive vendor support, making it challenging to obtain assistance with patch management issues.
