When the company that messes up their updates, is Google, on it’s own systems, the impact is wide spread.
I still stand by this advice, when it comes to your systems:
Having vulnerable, unpatched software is one of the easiest way for threat actors to infect your computers – the risk of operational problems with patches is less and can be managed much easier than a cyber security incident.

Please Note:
I am on leave so the news this week is “in brief”. You can still contact me via the contact page and Octagon Technology.
My advice: Either you or your IT support need to check whether these issues impact your systems. You need to have a master document that details your systems, hardware, software, online, networks, back-ups, suppliers etc – so when cyber security (or operational) issues arise you and your support teams can quickly check if you are affected. From there you can take fast, effective action.
