    How Microsoft's Patch Tuesday Affects Business Processes and Security
    Hello Everyone,

    An entire industry has grown up around Microsoft Patch Tuesday: The five-year push for predictable, scheduled security fixes has spawned both Microsoft and third-party vendor tools specifically to deal with the complexity of installing Microsoft security patches.

    "Every Patch Tuesday sets off a race where companies try to get their computers patched before they accidentally hit a website with hacker code," says Brian Livingston, editor of Windows Secrets newsletter.

    With all of this activity going on, it's no wonder that many companies don't relish the process of determining which patches are most important to push out to all PCs on the network and which can wait until later. In addition, some patches can cause more problems than they solve, due to incompatibility and instability issues.
