Security News > 2021 > February > February 2021 Patch Tuesday forecast: The human communication aspect
We spend a lot of time each month discussing the technical details surrounding vulnerabilities, software updates, and the tools we use for patch management in our organizations.
It is critical that these application owners and administrators have a direct and ongoing channel of communication with the security analysts and IT administrators to ensure they are in 'lock step' as they identify critical vulnerabilities, prioritize the patches, and execute the updates to protect their infrastructure.
These users still have a responsibility to communicate any potential security issues to their management or the company security professionals.
Here's what we can expect next week for February Patch Tuesday.
February 2021 Patch Tuesday forecast Microsoft should be ramping up for the year and we will see more vulnerabilities addressed than in January.
Security communications across your organization are a vital part of the patch management process.
