Are You Lost in the IT Wild?
If you aren’t patching your third-party vulnerabilities, your business, your assets, your sales, are just that…. vulnerable. Adobe’s Flash has had a tough month.In October we’ve seen two different critical patches released to shore up security holes where attackers can take control of your devices.
“We are aware of a report that an exploit for CVE-2016-7855 exists in the wild, and is being used in limited, targeted attacks against users running Windows versions 7, 8.1 and 10.”
These zero-day critical flaws aren’t patched by Windows, you have to know about them, find them, download the content, and then install them.
Third-Party Updates
