Security Patch

Definitions

1. A patch released specifically to address a security vulnerability or harden a system against known attack paths. In operations culture, security patches are often prioritized differently from feature releases because delay directly increases risk.

   In plain English: An update released to fix a security vulnerability.

   Example: "The platform team fast-tracked the security patch even though feature work froze, because the vulnerability was already publicly known."
