Problems/Bugs continue to be found in hardware, operating
systems, applications software, networks, and technology.
There is an ongoing battle between the good guys finding and
fixing the problems and the bad guys finding and exploiting
the problems. Your role is important in this ongoing drama!
Mantra: Always do the updates.
What's the difference between an update and an upgrade?
There is a lot of malware out there that has been mitigated
by recent updates. If you haven't installed the latest
updates, you may wind up in a world of hurt!
o Ensure that all PCs and Macs are using the latest updates.
o Ensure that Androids and Apple mobile devices are up2date.
o Ensure that all apps are updated (and not spying on you).
o Ensure that routers, printers, and IOTs are updated.
Remember - Updates require good broadband connections.
