Administrators should register for updates to all COTS and custom-developed software, so when security flaws are identified, they can be tracked for testing and updates of the application can be applied. Admin personnel should be registered to receive updates to all components of the application, such as Web Server, Application Servers, and Database Servers. Also, if update notifications are provided for any custom-developed software, libraries or third-party tools, deployment personnel must also register for these updates. |

If no deployment personnel are registered to receive the alerts, this is a finding. |
