Recommendations
Reliable Vendor Solutions
Software and application
vendors should offer OS or
patch update for use to fix
their software and
application vulnerabilities.
Regular Scanning
Yearly or half-year
vulnerability scanning
and penetration test
is recommended
Regular Patch Operation
Systems
Regular review and
update the hardware and
application operation
systems to the latest
patch, in order to avoid
vulnerable malware and
exploits.
