Microsoft patches two zero-days, 10 critical bugs
Summary
Although large in its scope, the April drop may ultimately prove more noteworthy for being one of the last Patch Tuesday updates from Microsoft – at least in its current form. “Autopatch, by automating the management of updates, can provide timely response to changes and confidence around introducing new changes, and close the protection and productivity gaps,” said Bela. “The value should be felt immediately by IT admins who won’t have to plan update roll-out and sequencing, and over the long term as increased bandwidth allows them more time to focus on driving value. In the future, the patch process will begin with a small core of devices used for test and validation purposes before cascading down into the rest of the enterprise estate more widely, with additional features dubbed Halt, Rollback and Selectivity that will come into play should something break. “Microsoft has long supported automatic updates, but that basic capability never addressed the myriad of potential issues of patching at scale.
