Our initial October Patch Tuesday Damage Report is now available. We publish it every Patch Tuesday, and update it 3 days and 2 weeks after. Check out it out at https://lnkd.in/eqjtxVC2

28 months after our initial goal of providing an auto patching rules engine that takes into account previous operator experience (what we call Patch Disruption Intelligence, aka 'did shit break?'), it’s finally here! Couldn't be prouder to be a part of this team and a big thanks to our users and partners that helped us get it right ??

We talk quite a bit in cybersecurity about "actionable" information, but with today's product release, the trackd platform is not just providing one-of-a-kind data, but taking the action based on that intelligence as well. "AutoPilot" is the manifestation of Mike Starr's vision when he started trackd. He details the source of that inspiration and how we got to today in our latest blog.

A much-needed culture change in the #vulnerabilitymanagement community could start with a name change.

Let's not let misconceptions about the #crowdstrike incident cause greater damage over time.

We talk with our users and those interested in trackd about our microscopic false positive rate, so the trackd team took some time to explain exactly why that is, and how our approach virtually eliminates vulnerability false positives.

We all know what doing the same thing over and over again and hoping for a different result is the definition of. The only thing worse is investing tens of millions to do it over and over again...only faster. The vulnerability management vendor community has to start thinking out of the box.

Episode 3 of our "Why Patches Fail" blog series covers EOL (End of Life-ed) software. Organizations with EOL software on their networks were almost 4 times as likely to submit a cyber insurance claim in 2022.

In the latest installment of our "Why Patches Fail" blog series, we discuss a patch failure mechanism that trackd is working to make obsolete: endpoint management tool update deferral windows.
