Apply Critical Security Updates Promptly

Remember

Prioritize the installation of security updates, especially those labeled as ‘critical’ or addressing known vulnerabilities. Enable automatic updates where feasible, but remain vigilant for manual prompts if auto-updates are delayed or require intervention.

Why

Promptly applying security updates is one of the most effective defenses against malware and cyberattacks. Attackers quickly exploit known vulnerabilities, and delaying updates leaves your devices and data exposed to unnecessary risks.
