Patching

A month or so ago I wrote about the importance of patching your content management system and the advantage we believe exists with Open Source content management systems versus those offered by proprietary systems.

One of the great benefits of using an open source CMS (content management system) like Drupal to deliver your web content is that there is a global community of developers actively engaged in maintaining the integrity of the product.

Ebola is an infectious disease identified by fever and severe internal bleeding, it is spread through contact with body fluids of an infected person. It is currently spreading quickly through West Africa, the World Health Organisation is struggling to contain it.

In much the same way as Ebola has an effect on the living, software viruses have a similar effect on our computing infrastructure.
