How long does it take to apply a critical OS patch after release?

Velocity Grade

D

Dangerous. You are patching after the news cycle.

Why update speed matters

When Microsoft releases a security patch, they publish what it fixes. Attackers read these announcements and write exploits within hours.

If you take 30 days to install that patch, you are vulnerable for 29 days. The race is: can you update before someone attacks?

Target: 7 days or less. That's what well-run teams achieve.
