Exploited vulnerabilities are highly significant as they represent real-world risks. They are vulnerabilities that attackers have actively used to compromise systems. Addressing these vulnerabilities is crucial for enhancing cybersecurity and protecting against potential breaches.

Please click that update button in your Windows notifications bar if you haven't done already. Lots of patches for vulnerabilities have been released this month by MS and some have found to have been exploited in the wild already. #patchtuesday #microsoft #cybersec #infosec

Patch patch patch

Great to see visibility of security vulnerabilities more generally and being from ASD this should get the attention of those responsible for responding. The gap however is ACCOUNTABILITY. If an organisation doesn't respond to a vulnerability that could impact service or put customer data at risk where does the accountability lie and is there a REAL driver [punitive legislation?] to action anyway. Why did two Optus Execs depart when Medibank Executives have not been held accountable. Having been a victim of the Optus breach I would be very much more alarmed if my medical history had been exposed. #cyberprotection #cyberinsurance #cybereducation #governance #riskmanagement #criticalinfrastructure #compliancemanagement

Have you ever wondered what your MSP is (or should) be doing? The announcement below is exactly what they should be remediating. How do you as the customer figure if out if their MSP is doing as required to keep you, your directorship, employees, customers and business safe? 💡 Check your contracts and look for the terms in the deliverables section such as patch management (OS, Device, Network or servers) or vunerability management. 💡 Ask them to provide reporting around vunerabilities and compliance management. 💡 Please respect that while reboot reminders are annoying, they are necessary to ensure you stay compliant. Not sure if your provider does this for you? Schedule a meeting at Kavira.com.au

Microsoft just dropped a fresh batch of security updates - think of them as vitamins for your computer! They've patched 60 vulnerabilities, including 2 'Critical' ones - because who doesn't love a good cliffhanger? If you're with us at Login, relax! We've updated your systems while you were sipping that coffee. Your IT Systems are safe with us. Not a Login client? It’s time to play catch-up! Slap on those updates like sunscreen on a beach day. Alternatively, you can send me a message and we can talk about securing your IT😁 #cybersecurity #cybersecurityawareness

Use Windows Autopatch to keep up with security updates

Hey M’soft, It’s a bit late to draw attention to active vulnerabilities - we all need pre-emptive protection from all malware, especially including ‘zero-day’ nasties, whether they are new code or re-packaged code. The answer is deep learning capability. Perhaps re-building algorithms from the ground-up is too expensive for a massive conglomerate (too big to successfully direct and manage?) to invest in. The holding pattern in the marketplace could break you ? Time to cut the loss - millions of customers are knowingly exposed 24/7/365 to the next incidents of active vulnerabilities. Maybe now withdraw from the marketplace and work to enable true cybersecurity protection for your customer-set. Real-time (yep, that’s right !) detection of and prevention from ‘zero-day’ malware intrusions is available now. Try working with DeepInstinct.com It will run along side Windows without impacting performance. A new Win-Win for you guys and your paying customers - upgrade to value for money (remarkable ROI) in cybersecurity. #CEO #CISO #COO #CFO #cybersecurity
