A look at recent Apple security updates

Well, and I wonder too, I've had to fill out some questionnaire things recently for cybersecurity insurance.

I wonder if explaining and justifying and proving your patch windows is going to be something that's going to have to shrink for cybersecurity insurance, where maybe it's the shorter your window, the better premiums you get.

It's just going to be, I don't know, it's a challenging thing.

And I

think we've seen

this year Apple increase its cadence of updates.

I mean, I'm seeing this across all the vendors that I work with.

And it does feel like threat hunting has fundamentally changed with AI-assisted vulnerability research happening.

You're moving at the speed of machines rather than the speed of humans.

But on the flip side, It's still challenging to patch in reality and for Apple to build these patches, to solve these vulnerabilities, to make sure to QA them properly and then to get them out.

I guess if you're like an IT person listening, what kind of, it feels like we're entering into just a chaotic period.

What advice would you give to an IT team trying to build a patching process that is great for, it doesn't, I guess, interrupt the users, but also meets the organizational needs of, you know, if your goals of staying compliant.

and staying secure.

I mean, it feels like it's exhausting.
