Outdated software creates security gaps that put your business at risk. That’s why it’s critical to update third-party apps for business security—not just Microsoft apps.
Why This Matters to Business Owners
Every outdated app is a potential entry point for attackers. While Microsoft apps often get attention, third-party tools like browsers, PDF readers, and productivity software are just as critical. Ignoring them can lead to:
Costly downtime from ransomware attacks
Loss of customer trust after a breach
Regulatory penalties for non-compliance
For a business owner, these risks translate into financial loss and reputational damage—far more expensive than proactive security measures.
What We Did
At MPS Consultants CA, we closed this gap by:
Using Microsoft Intune Win32 app deployment to push updates for non-Microsoft Store apps.
Verifying installation success and generating compliance reports for full transparency.
The Business Impact
Updating third-party apps isn’t just a technical task—it’s a strategic investment in risk reduction. Here’s what our client gained:
Secure Score improved by +4 points, signaling stronger security posture.
Reduced exposure to known exploits, lowering the chance of costly breaches.
Enhanced compliance, which helps avoid fines and supports insurance requirements.
Why Updating Third-Party Apps Improves Business Security and Secure Score
Cybersecurity isn’t an expense—it’s insurance for your business continuity. Every point increase in Secure Score means:
Lower risk of operational disruption
