What are Security Patches?
Security Patches are software updates aimed at patching vulnerability issues. Adobe runs a vulnerability disclosure program on Hackerone.com. Ethical hackers – discover vulnerabilities and report them there (see screenshot below).
These reports are reviewed by Adobe, once validated Adobe develops and releases a security patch to address the exposed vulnerability.
At this point, Adobe notifies the community and partners like Rave Digital and Aheadworks who act swiftly and methodically, and apply the necessary security patches to ensure the ongoing security of our customers’ Magento store. As once a Magento store is compromised, salvaging it is much more involved and may cost a tremendous amount of money, in some cases millions of dollars.

Version Upgrades
Just the way PCs update their operating system (Windows, Mac OS), and all the applications on your PC like MS Office, Adobe Acrobat, etc. require updates to maintain performance; so, does Magento. Magento releases updated versions several times a year, these new releases typically include several hundred functional fixes: including bug fixes to previous versions, framework improvements, and new and improved features!

Deployment
Prior to updating a Magento Commerce store, we carefully review enabled extensions, custom modules, and integrations. We fetch the latest versions that are compatible with the newly released version, test through compatibility on staging, and once validated through a stringent QA process, an upgrade is performed on production.
