When most people think about keeping their systems secure, they think about security patches rather than service packs. In fact, one of the most frequent mistakes people make when performing security maintenance is to over-rely on patches and under-rely on service packs. You may be surprised to know that there are significant differences between the two, and that service packs, rather than patches, should be used for the heavy lifting. In this article, we'll discuss the differences between patches and service packs, and the most effective strategy for using them.

patch is to fix a couple of recent glitches or bugs in a game or program. The service pack is like a bunch of patches at once and improvements to a game or application.

Patch is nothing but fixing a bug or security hole etc
Service pack can be considered as bunch of Patches together
