These updates are to address zero-day flaws that are being actively exploited.
You need to get these Apple updates done
Even if you (and your team) have automatic updates enabled – just check these Apple updates have been applied across all the impacted devices – both business owned devices and any personal devices used for work. I had to put my watch and phone back on charge to ensure the updates had been done.
Apple Updates Everything (again) – SANS INternet Storm
These Apple updates apply to the following:
- iOS 15.7.8 & 16.6
- iPadOS 15.7.8 & 16.6
- macOS Ventura 13.5
- macOS Monterey 12.6.8
- macOS Big Sur 11.7.9
- tvOS 16.6
- watchOS 9.6
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.
