A Patch
Fortify software is a piece of software that provides products and services that are designed to fix, identify and protect computers from security vulnerabilities in other software programmes.
A patch is a piece of software designed to fix problems with, or update a computer program or its supporting data. This includes fixing security vulnerabilities and other bugs, and improving the usability or performance. Though meant to fix problems, poorly designed patches can sometimes introduce new problems (see software regressions).
Security vulnerabilities can create a crisis for software. To solve this, developers must release a software patch which will fix the issue.
Mainly windows, because it has many security vulnerabilities, there are also only a few people who can fix security bugs and therefore it can take months to fix something. Also if you are paranoid enough use Linux (Personally I do).

vulnerabilities
Threats, Assets, and Vulnerabilities.
There are many vulnerablities of using security. The vulnerabilities depend on what type of security is being discussed. In terms of computer software security, security vulnerabilities involve weaknesses and problems that occur in a product as well as the integrity of the product. Vulnerabilities regarding home security are fewer than those involving software. One major vulnerability of home security is that the systems often run through phone lines which can be cut or damaged due to power outages.
operating system security concerns about vulnerabilities on specific operating system network system security concerns about vulnerabilities of the entire network regrdless how diverse or complex the network is.
A security patch
The vulnerability of security measures refers to weaknesses or gaps that can be exploited by malicious actors to compromise the security of a system. These vulnerabilities can arise from design flaws, configuration errors, outdated software, or human error. It is important for organizations to regularly assess and address these vulnerabilities to enhance their overall security posture.
Its a scan that scans for vulnerabilities that you need to fix or it may harm your computer. If you have Kaspersky Lab 2013, it has a vulnerability scan so you can scan for those vulnerabilities.(I have Kaspersky Lab 2013)
