Evaluate and test security patches

ADMINISTRATOR

For most customers, FactoryLogix system availability (uptime) is the most important requirement. If you use a single FactoryLogix instance globally, you don't want to stop and restart the FactoryLogix servers to apply security patches.

We recommend the following best practices related to security patches:

  • Evaluate security patches on a regular basis (monthly, for example) to determine if they are necessary and reduce the frequency of patch installations.

  • Test security patches in a test environment before installing them in your production environment. 

  • If you use real-time anti-virus monitoring, exclude the SQL Server database files (including data files, transaction log files, tempdb, and other system database files) from being monitored.

  • Filter unnecessary packets and disable unnecessary services.

  • If you perform database backups to disk, exclude database backup files and transaction log backup files.
