Hi,Here's a new article on how and why you may want to stop patching your software and take a new approach to your security.
"So if patching is a tactic towards a particular security strategy, how can that be bad? I never said it was all bad. There are reasons where patching makes sense just like there are reasons to get a kick from a cup of coffee, get kicked by a shot of tequila, or spray stuff up your nose to breathe easier for 1.5 seconds. Yes, for the record, I am comparing patching to nasal spray."
