◆ Security patch management

# Standard patch management tells you what shipped. Security patch management tells you what's exploitable.

Most tools patch on a calendar and count updates deployed. SecTeer treats patching as a security control, driven by live exploit intelligence and your real asset inventory, so the work at the top of the list is the work that actually reduces risk.

◆ Side by side

## The same patches, prioritized by a completely different question.

Traditional patch management asks "what updates are available?" Security patch management asks "what is being exploited on the software we actually run?"

◆ Why it matters

## Patching everything equally is the same as patching nothing first.

Severity is not risk

A CVSS 9 on software nobody runs is noise. A known-exploited flaw on 900 endpoints is an emergency. Security patch management ranks the second first.

The gap attackers use

Most breaches exploit a vulnerability that already had a fix. The point is to close it before exploitation, not on next month's maintenance window.

One pipeline, whole fleet

OS, third-party, and custom apps are remediated together, so coverage doesn't quietly drift while an unmanaged app sits exposed.
