Security News > 2021 > November > November 2021 Patch Tuesday forecast: More mandates in the United States
The global holiday season is upon us with Diwali happening now, Thanksgiving the end of the month, and then on to Christmas and New Years! But before we all start celebrating, we have November 2021 Patch Tuesday coming this week, which is an important one for many industries particularly retail.
November 2021 Patch Tuesday forecast Microsoft addressed 79 unique CVEs last month and I expect that number to remain high.
We had our first Windows 11 update last month and it will be interesting to see how closely the Windows 11 update reflects what is being addressed in Windows 10.
NET framework updates in a while, nor SQL server, so carefully review all Microsoft has to offer next Tuesday.
I've not seen a prenotification on their Security Updates page but be on the lookout for security releases for these two products next week.
In last month's forecast article, I discussed their ever-increasing number of zero days so make sure you keep up with these latest macOS and iOS updates.
