SANS Internet Storm Diary has a comprehensive report on Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday:
Microsoft December 2022 Patch Tuesday – SANS Internet Storm Center
Here is the Microsoft release page:
December 2022 Security Updates – Release Notes – Security Update Guide – Microsoft
The Microsoft report gives much more information on the patches, updates, running exploits and vulnerabilities than the Apple report as Microsoft are much more open than Apple which really helps when it comes to maintaining your cyber security.
They should be automatic – but you never know what happens, so check – and check with your team that their devices are up to date. Do you have an RMM that does this for you?
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.
