(*): ISC rating

We use 4 levels:
- PATCH NOW: Typically used where we see immediate danger of exploitation. Typical environments will want to deploy these patches ASAP. Workarounds are typically not accepted by users or are not possible. This rating is often used when typical deployments make it vulnerable and exploits are being used or easy to obtain or make.
- Critical: Anything that needs little to become "interesting" for the dark side. Best approach is to test and deploy ASAP. Workarounds can give more time to test.
- Important: Things where more testing and other measures can help.
- Less Urt practices for servers such as not using outlook, MSIE, word etc. to do traditional office or leisure work.
- The rating is not a risk analysis as such. It is a rating of importance of the vulnerability and the perceived or even predicted threat.

Note that MS15-056 includes "non security enhancements".

One of this, which is very security relevant is HSTS for IE11 on Windows 7, 8.1, and 2012. This is using the Chromium Preload Set as Chrome and Firefox are doing. HSTS is enabled by default, but can be disabled through a registry setting. HSTS is a good feature, however if people have a problem, it is better to disable HSTS than roll back the whole patch.

This is not directly related to Microsoft Patch Tuesday. but it is indirectly. I'm trying to implement the patch management practice, but I'm struggling with operationalizing it with IT.
Is there a practical "best practice" guide for patch management? I know NIST has one (800-40), but I'm looking for a practical guide, not just for Microsoft, but other patching (e.g. Adobe, Apache, Oracle, Cisco) as well. I've looked thru your archives and haven't found one.

Thanks and keep up the good work!
