摘要: In this paper we study the implications of end-user behavior in applying software updates and patches on information-security vulnerabilities. To end tap into a large data set measurements conducted more than 400,000 Windows machines over four client-side applications, separate out impact user vendor vulnerability states hosts. Our modeling users empirical evaluation model hosts reveal peculiar relationship between vendors end-users: users’ promptness patches, vendors’ policies facilitating installation updates, while both contributing to hosts’ security posture, are overshadowed by other characteristics such as frequency disclosures swiftness deploying patches.
