When it comes to cybersecurity, the simplest steps often deliver the biggest impact. One of those steps? Keeping Windows updated. But here’s the real advantage—acting before attackers do.
Why Windows Updates Matter Your Business
Every time Microsoft releases a patch, it’s closing a door that attackers might exploit. Delaying updates means leaving that door wide open. And in today’s threat landscape, attackers move fast—sometimes within hours of a vulnerability being disclosed.
Our Proactive Approach
We don’t just wait for updates to roll out. We take action during the golden window—the period between Microsoft identifying a vulnerability and attackers widely exploiting it.
Here’s what we do:
Apply Intune Update Rings to ensure timely OS patches across all devices.
Follow Microsoft’s pre-disclosure CVE guidance, such as CVE-2025-13223 (Severity: High, CVSS: 8.8).
Update critical apps like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge before exploits become public.
Monitor Microsoft 365 Security notifications for verified exploit alerts—so we know when a vulnerability moves from “potential” to “active threat.”
Why This Protects Your Investment
Receiving real-time alerts from Microsoft enables us to respond immediately when vulnerabilities become active threats. This proactive approach:
Reduces downtime and risk of data breaches.
Keeps your IT environment compliant and secure.
Protects the investment you’ve made in your technology infrastructure.
The Results
Secure Score improved by 2 points.
Zero exposure to known vulnerabilities before public exploit disclosure.
