Security News > 2022 > May > May 2022 Patch Tuesday forecast: Look beyond just application and OS updates
April Patch Tuesday provided an extensive set of operating system and application updates after a few quiet months.
The IE 11 desktop application will continue to get security updates in Windows 8.1, Windows 7, and Windows Server LTSC until they reach their respective EOL dates.
We talk about the regular cadence of application and operating systems updates that are released every month, but drivers and BIOS software have their own set of updates as well.
Be sure to consider these, and updates from other hardware vendors this month as part of your Patch Tuesday distribution process.
May 2022 Patch Tuesday forecast Expect the standard set of Microsoft operating system and Office application updates.
If you have the opportunity this month, look beyond just basic operating system and application patching; review the status of your BIOS and driver versions and update as needed.
