Jay is a security administrator for a large company and has about 100 hosts on his network that were recently attacked by a virus. he’s concerned because there was a patch available that would have minimized the impact from the virus. what is the best solution to implement on the network?

Jay should install patch management software and tools.

Explanation:

Patch management can manage this network of hosts as it will persistently deploy all the missing patches to keep these computers up to date.  Patch management software helps to test and install multiple patches on existing applications on a computer. This allows systems in a network to stay up to date on existing patches and decide which patches are the appropriate ones. So this is how patches can be easily managed and can fix security flaws and vulnerability. Patch management tools and software lessens security failure by applying security patches at the right time, increases productivity and enhance applications with new features.
