(1/2)
“Users with the average software portfolio installed on their PCs will need to master around 14 different update mechanisms from individual vendors to update their programs and keep their IT systems protected against vulnerabilities” –
Secunia Yearly Report 2010
Some vulnerabilities remain un-patched for as long as two years –
SANS, 2009 4
IT pain points
