Assessment Title
Rule Text
The DBMS must support organizational requirements to employ automated patch management tools to facilitate flaw remediation to organization-defined information system components.
Description
Discussion Text
The organization (including any contractor to the organization) shall promptly install security-relevant software updates (e.g., patches, service packs, and hot fixes). Flaws discovered during security assessments, continuous monitoring, incident response activities, or information system error handling, shall also be addressed expeditiously. Due to information system integrity and availability concerns, organizations shall give careful consideration to the methodology used to carry out automatic updates.
Automated patch management can be useful in ensuring that appropriate patches are scheduled and applied to databases as required. DBAs often support multiple databases in different environments and with different classification levels. This can lead to confusion if patch management is not automated, leading to inconsistent patching.
