Security 101: Virtual Patching

Virtual patching is a technique that helps organizations manage vulnerabilities in unpatched applications and IT infrastructure. The article explains how this approach addresses common patch management challenges enterprises face.

Why it matters: Security teams responsible for vulnerability management need to understand virtual patching as an interim control when timely patching is not possible, reducing exposure while permanent fixes are deployed.
