Patch That Web!
Windows admins and IT types are familiar with Patch Tuesday. Every month, Microsoft
publicly releases a bunch of fixes and you or someone on your staff gets to
fixin'.
The Web is a wilder, woollier and perhaps more dangerous world. Researchers
and vendors such as Cenzic have been pointing out how unpatched many Web servers
and apps are. In fact, Cenzic claims that seven
out of 10 sites aren't safe.
While a security company has an incentive to show flaws, this information should
make all of us pause. And after we pause, we should get to patchin'.
