2 Microsoft Patches Planned

It’s believed that one of the two planned Microsoft security bulletins for tomorrow will be rated as critical.  The critical patch is expected to fix an Internet Explorer flaw that is currently the target of multiple malicious exploits.  Microsoft had originally discussed issuing an out-of-cycle patch to thwart the IE attacks, but rigorous quality assurance testing delayed the release until the normal release date.

If you haven’t yet implemented an automated patch management solution, you should really start to think about it.  The time saving alone on your first deployment of Microsoft security updates will provide you with an almost total ROI.  This is valuable time you could spend on other projects.
