For years, patch management has been treated as a solved problem—until reality strikes. Outdated applications, portable executables, patch conflicts, and shadow software leave organizations unknowingly exposed. The tools may exist, but the process often breaks down.

In this episode, Rob Allen, chief product officer at ThreatLocker, discusses why their new patch management solution goes beyond legacy approaches. With built-in patch packaging, pre-deployment testing, and granular control, the platform helps teams navigate complex environments while keeping rollback, risk tolerance, and deny-by-default strategies in play. Joining him are Mike Woods, vp of cybersecurity at GE Vernova, and Steve Zalewski, co-host of Defense in Depth.
