Patching and Addressing Security Problems Clause Samples

The "Patching and Addressing Security Problems" clause requires parties to promptly identify, report, and fix security vulnerabilities in software or systems. Typically, this involves regular monitoring for security issues, applying updates or patches as soon as they become available, and notifying relevant stakeholders of any significant threats or breaches. The core function of this clause is to minimize security risks by ensuring that vulnerabilities are addressed quickly, thereby protecting data integrity and reducing the likelihood of unauthorized access or damage.
Patching and Addressing Security Problems. DST shall fix or patch any identified security problem as soon as reasonably possible after DST becomes aware of the security problem or when vulnerability disclosures are made publicly available, whichever is sooner. This obligation extends to all devices that comprise DST’s systems, including application software, databases, servers, firewalls, routers and switches and hubs, as well as to all of DST’s other practices for handling Fund Confidential Information.
