What It Is: Firmware is a specialized type of software permanently programmed into a device—like a computer, router, or printer—that controls how it functions. It’s essentially the built-in operating system that tells the hardware how to work.
Benefit: Keeping your firmware updated ensures that your devices perform efficiently and securely. Updates can fix bugs, enhance functionality, and protect against vulnerabilities, which helps your business maintain reliable and safe operations.
