Description
It is imperative that the organization promptly installs security relevant software updates from an authorized patch management server to mitigate the risk of new vulnerabilities. Flaws discovered during security assessments, continuous monitoring, incident response activities, or information system error handling, are also addressed expeditiously. Software obtained from unauthorized sources may contain malicious code and may put the enclave at risk. This requirement applies to flaw remediation systems. Flaw remediation is not a function of the IDPS.
