Updates

##Threats

Software vendors frequently release new updates for software after vulnerabilities have been discovered and fixed. People who don't update their software and devices will still be vulnerable. Malicious users are always on the lookout for recently updated software in order to identify and exploit the vulnerabilities the patches fix. In most cases, keeping your software up-to-date can be more valuable and a better security decision than using an Anti-Virus application, although you should probably do that too.

##Solution

Update your software regularly (weekly would be ideal). This includes:

• Browsers
• Operating Systems
• Phones
• Apps
• All other software you depend on

Set software, such as Windows, to update automatically.
