Legacy patch management systems like SCCM and WSUS are struggling to keep up with the demands of a hybrid workforce. These systems rely on VPN connectivity and on-prem infrastructure, leading to extended patch cycles, compliance issues, and increased security risks. Cloud-native patch management solutions offer a more reliable and efficient alternative, ensuring consistent updates regardless of device location. Organizations that have transitioned to cloud-native solutions report significant improvements in patch compliance and reduced vulnerability windows. The deprecation of WSUS further highlights the need for modern patch management strategies. The shift to cloud-native patching is not just an upgrade but a risk-management decision crucial for maintaining security in a hybrid work environment.
