I'm not a fan of 3rd party patches as I mentioned in a previous post. I think that there are too many unknowns and potential problems. Although something I had not thought about was brought to my attention by this CNet News.com article. ZERT (Zeroday Emergenty Response Team) is not only patching current versions of OS's but also versions that are no longer supported by Microsoft and therefore not being patched by Microsoft. I'm fortunate in that I don't have to support any non-supported versions of Windows, but I know plenty of guys who do. What are they to do unless a third party helps them out?
About Me
- Andy, ITGuy
- I've been in IT for 11 years. Sometime in 2000 I became interested in Security and started focusing my career in that direction. I am a CISSP and have a passion for Information Security. I have worked both "In the trenches" and in managerial positions in IT. I started blogging because I wanted to have a place to express my thoughts and opinions on security. Hopefully someone else will gain something from what I have to say.
