A lot of people all over the world use Nvidia
graphics cards due to its popularity in terms of performance. Recently, the
company released its first security patch for this year. For users of certain
models, the update is an important one as it addresses eight security flaws
that could leave users vulnerable against attacks. It is a lot easier to have managed IT
services do the updates if you run a business and use Nvidia video cards.
Although the security issues the patch addresses
aren’t rated critical, they are still rated high priority. This means Nvidia
users should not forgo this update. The patch will protect systems from attacks
such as remote code execution, denial of service,
and escalation of privileges.
In line with such attacks, it is critical that
businesses hire managed
IT services Columbia to ensure that computer systems are always up to date
with the latest security patches. The patch will be applicable for Nvidia’s GeForce,
Quadro, Tesla and NVS graphics cards. Newer graphics cards aren’t included on
the list due to their more advanced architecture. Older units, however, need
the update to keep the computer system they are installed in safe.
There are different ways on how to install the
update depending on the type of system you’re running. The update could be
found on Nvidia’s site directly. For Windows users, the update could be done
through the control panel. Users may also install the GeForce Experience app
which would alert the user of any updates for the installed video card.
Regardless of the severity of the security flaws,
patches must be installed immediately the moment they are released. It is one
way of protecting the computer system as well as reinforcing the information security protocols in the
system.
