  Patch management needs a revolution, part 4: Sane patching is safe patching is selective patching
  
  One of the biggest concerns with modern patch management is that we haven’t truly challenged our thinking around “patching everything” over the past 40 years. Today, we are still inundated with customer requests to patch everything, despite the available evidence showing that most vulnerabilities do not and will not ever see exploitation. So the larger question is, what is the purpose of the exercise?
