Patch Tuesday is often reflected on by many IT professionals with a mix of nostalgia and regret. For most IT departments Patch Tuesday is labor intensive, involves complicated scheduling, and introduces a chaotic weekly scramble.  

In a modern cloud environment, patch deployment has changed for the better. Patch Tuesday is now largely a concept of the past. IT teams are now able to push patches and upgrades over the air with ease – rectifying security vulnerabilities in real-time. This patching process has drastically reduced the duration of time between discovering a security vulnerability and patching it.
