THE EVER-PRESENT THREAT LANDSCAPE : WHY UPDATES MATTER MORE THAN EVER

The world of business is no stranger to cyberattacks. 

According to a recent report by Cybersecurity Ventures, global cybercrime costs are projected to reach a staggering $10.5 trillion annually by 2025! 

These threats highlight the critical importance of robust security measures and keeping your ERP system up-to-date plays a vital role.

Security patches are released to address vulnerabilities discovered in software. Hackers are constantly on the lookout for these vulnerabilities, and applying updates promptly is essential to patch these holes and safeguard your valuable business data.

Here’s the challenge with traditional, manual updates :

1. Time Constraints : Busy businesses often find it difficult to prioritize updates, leaving them vulnerable for extended periods.
2. Technical Expertise : Manual updates can be complex, requiring technical skills or additional support.
3. Risk of Errors : The installation process itself can introduce errors, further jeopardizing system stability.

Odoo Cloud eliminates these challenges entirely, allowing you to focus on strategic initiatives while your ERP system stays protected.
