Finally! After weeks of “yellow status” reported by PSI (Personal Software Inspector from Secunia), my profesional notebook finally went “green”!
I’m using PSI for a while on my notebook which has plenty of installed applications: productivity, connectivity, security, reporting tools and much more. Since the beginning, I was never able to have a fully patched system!
 |
Why? There are multiple reasons:
- Lack of time (maybe the
mostworst cause). - No patch available for the application
- Incompatibility between a patched component and another one
Being a security professional, it took me time and research to reach the score of 100%! Patching a system is really a pain, nobody does this with fun. What about all home PC users? Read some statistics gathered via PSI:
|
Number of insecure applications per computer/user: 0 Insecure Applications: 4.54% of computers 0-5 Insecure Applications: 27.83% of computers 6-10 Insecure Applications: 25.69% of computers 11+ Insecure Applications: 41.94% of computers |
Patching by end users, damned if you do, damned if you don’t
