Security News > 2023 > March > March 2023 Patch Tuesday forecast: It’s not about luck

Every month I touch on a few hot topics related to security around patching and some important updates to look out for on the upcoming Patch Tuesday.

March 2023 Patch Tuesday forecast The February release was small in terms of CVEs addressed as predicted with only 33 in Windows 11 and Server 2012, and 36 in Windows 10.

There hasn't been an update for Adobe Acrobat or Reader since the major update in January, so we could see a minor update this month.

Apple Big Sur, Ventura, and Safari were updated in mid-February so don't expect another one next week, but be on the lookout for a possible Monterey update.

Mozilla seems to be synching up with Patch Tuesday of late so expect updates for Firefox, Firefox ESR, and Thunderbird next week.

Deploy all your updates in a timely fashion and you should be able to relax on Friday and enjoy St Patrick's Day with a beverage of your choice knowing you are not counting on luck for system security!
