Keeping your cyber security in tip-top shape is more than just protecting passwords and maintaining reliable backups, it’s important that you ensure your devices stay updated.
System updates may seem like a chore and can take up a lot of your precious time, but it’s crucial that you keep firmware up to date to avoid cyber criminals taking advantage of flaws.
Recently, HP’s business-oriented notebooks were discovered to have security flaws concerning memory corruption with the System Management Mode of the firmware, which was left unpatched.
HP is set to release patches and updates to fix these flaws, which could put customers at risk of cyber attacks if left ignored.
If you are concerned about your device, remember to keep all software fully updated, including anti-malware programs, security software, and password managers.
