Task description

Regular security updates for offered products

The organization must determine the criteria when it is necessary to install a security update (e.g., the severity of the vulnerabilities fixed by the update).

It should be also decided how quickly and in what order security updates are installed according to the update criteria. For example, critical security updates should be installed as soon as possible.
