MINNEAPOLIS, MINN: According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, 75 percent of cyber-attacks target vulnerabilities in commercial software. These targeted vulnerabilities, the report concludes, can be cured with the simple administration of patches. While the patching of operating systems is a common practice a significant number of vulnerabilities are emerging from applications that are not part of the operating system. Despite the structure that is put in place to patch software, the fact remains that many organizations have not solved the problems of patch management.

In the words of Martin Luther King, 'injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.  It is a crime to allow an innocent person to rot in jail while the guilty waltz free. It beggars belief that judges in Nigeria still take notes in long hand while their counterparts in other climes use state-of-the-art gadgets to record court proceedings.
