Our focus is on software typically found in the small or home office (SOHO) or that users are likely to have on their home computer. SecureTheVillage publishes our Weekend Patch and Update Report to alert readers to some of the week’s important updates and vulnerabilities. When software companies find a vulnerability, they usually issue an update patch to fix the code running in their customer’s computers. Cyber criminals take over user computers by writing computer programs that “exploit” vulnerabilities in operating systems (Windows, Apple OS, etc) and application programs (Adobe Acrobat, Office, Java, etc). Vulnerability management is a key element of information security management. If someone else is responsible for the security of your computer, forward our Weekend Patch and Update Report to them and follow up to make sure your computer has been patched and updated. We strongly urge you to take action to keep your system(s) patched and updated. If you are responsible for the security of your computer, our Weekend Patch and Update Report is for you.
