5.1.1 Application of Security Patches

Oracle Financial Services highly recommends the following:
  • Browsers should be upgraded whenever newer versions are released, for they often include new security features. Additionally, in-built security features of browsers should not be turned off.
  • Security patches issued by the Operating System vendor should be applied regularly.
  • Updates to anti-virus software and anti-spyware programs should be applied regularly.

Additionally, it is recommended that major upgrades such as browser upgrades and Operating System service packs be tested for impact on business continuity.
