Microsoft Patch Tuesday – June 2024

Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month that means our support team have been reviewing our client monitoring reports and the SOC to check that the Microsoft Patch Tuesday updates have been completed. Our team will keep an eye on the reports for the next day or two to check there are no issues or absconders! It is always a busy time for us and should be for you or your IT or Cyber Security Support as well.

Here is Microsoft’s detailed page on Patch Tuesday for June 2024:

June 2024 Security Updates – Release Notes – Security Update Guide – Microsoft

Cyber security highlights

Nearly sixty flaws are being fixed this month across Microsoft’s product range, including patches associated with Microsoft browsers. Microsoft reports one of these as critical. There is also a fix for a previously declared zero-day vulnerability, in this release.

Your Takeaway from Microsoft Patch Tuesday.

As always the day after Patch Tuesday is a busy day for our team as we check the reports from the SOC and RMM to ensure the clients we look after, everyone in their organisations have updated their systems. If you do not have that kind of support then get these updates done and check that the auto-updating has auto-updated.

And do not forget that other vendors also issue their patches and updates around the same time as Microsoft. Those need checking as well.
