Hi, <br />
<br />
Is there a powershell script for downloading the latest security update for an OS. We have windows 2012 R2, windows 2008 R2, depending on the OS type and architecture, I want to download the latest security update, I already have a script for installing the updates by copying the patch on the server then install using psexec. <br />
<br />
Thank you in advance, <br />

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
