Security News > 2021 > May > May 2021 Patch Tuesday forecast: Spring cleaning is in order
Coming back to the CIS controls, re-evaluate your patch management program to ensure you are prioritizing and applying updates to systems at highest risk of exploitation.
You should have a plan in place to update to a newer version of these operating systems.
My prediction last month that we may see a slowdown in service stack updates was way off because Microsoft released updates for all versions of Server 2012, Window 10 Server, and Windows 10 Desktop still under support.
May 2021 Patch Tuesday forecast The final updates for three Windows 10 operating systems are coming this month.
As usual, we will see the Windows 10 cumulative updates, security-only and monthly updates for the actively supported operating systems, and, of course, the Extended Security Updates for Windows 7 and Server 2008/2008 R2. I expect an update for Internet Explorer since they skipped last month.
There may be an update coming as Google did release another update to the beta channel.
