eEye Digital Security
Patch Tuesday: November 14, 2006
The eEye Digital Security Research Team is dedicated to finding and educating the public about new and existing security vulnerabilities. Below is a list of resources to help you understand the scope of the vulnerabilities behind this month's patches and how to make informed decisions about best ways to proceed with patch installation.
Patch Tuesday Email Bulletin
Immediately following each Patch Tuesday's releases from Microsoft, eEye provides an email bulletin detailing the specifics of each patch's underlying vulnerability, along with information to help administrators plan for patch deployment. The email is available to subscribers of eEye's "Alert" mailing list only. Subscribers also receive timely bulletins when important network security events are unfolding, such as worms and zero-day exploits.
Free Webinar: Vulnerability Expert Forum
As a service to the network security community, eEye's Research Team - headed by Marc Maiffret, eEye's co-founder and Chief Hacking Officer - conducts a Vulnerability Expert Forum web seminar during the second week of every month. This Vulnerability Expert Forum enables participants to stay current on the potential risks and remediation requirements, such as those announced Tuesday, by exploring the effect that high-risk vulnerabilities and exploits have on network environments and infrastructures.
