About this Gig
As you may know every month Microsoft and other vendors provide security patches. To maintain your IT infrastructure Secure, you must install these updates.
These updates are rolled out usually following a second tuesday of the month schedule, so it is recommended to install these updates as soon as they are released.
I will make sure to install these updates and roll them back too if needed, since some updates might affect the correct behavior of applications.
We recommend to always have a staging environment to be able to test these updates.
There will also be zero-day patches I can also take care of separately
Operating system:
Windows

What if an update causes an issue?

How long have you been doing this work?
I have over 20 years of systems administration experience
