As boring and repetitive as it may seem, patching is one of the most effective things you can do to improve your security. That’s why I suggest you keep up with Microsoft Patch Day on the second Tuesday of every month. Today, I quickly highlight Microsoft’s October security updates, so that you know the types of holes you’ll be patching. I even throw in an Adobe update as an extra. Whether or not you stick around to watch the video, I highly recommend you at least follow the links below to get the latest Microsoft patches, or let Windows’ auto-update feature apply them for you.
