security-patches

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Security patches' are updates to a computer's software meant to prevent someone from harming the computer. They fix the vulnerabilities where attacks could come, a bit similar to patching a hole in clothing.

Examples in Different Contexts

Software developers must integrate security patches into their products to address discovered vulnerabilities. A developer might explain, 'We released a security patch this week to fix a critical bug affecting user data privacy.'
