SUMMARY OF APRIL 2016 SECURITY UPDATES

Microsoft has released 13 security updates for the April monthly Security Update. These updates address vulnerabilities in Microsoft software. The exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow a remote attacker to take full control of an affected system.

EFS Network Management encourages administrators and users to check the Microsoft Security Bulletins MS16-037 through MS16-050 and update their systems.

Microsoft releases the latest security updates at a random time after the second Tuesday of the month which is April 12, 2016. If the computers has been setup for auto updating, these updates will automatically be installed.

Everyone should check their computer systems to make sure that auto update feature is enabled on all computer systems. This will automatically install the critical security updates. Everyone should also check the systems for optional or recommended updates and install those updates as well.

As with any software update there maybe issues. There are no known issues with the updates at this time of this posting.

If issues do arise, please reboot the system to see if it will self-heal and recover. If it does not recover please open a EFS Network Management Support Request and we will take a look at the issues or you can contact us for help.
