Back to Reality, Ransomware and Patch Tuesday

Welcome back to the Tenable Research Podcast. In this new episode we look back at June’s Microsoft patches, and ask Tenable staff research engineer Satnam Narang what he feels the reasons are for the number of patches generally decreasing both monthly and annually. We are also joined by director of product management Ray Carney, as we look into the increase of ransomware in 2021, what have been the causes of this increase, and what the threat landscape looks like currently. Show References:https://www.tenable.com/blog/microsoft-june-2021-patch-tuesday-49-cves-cve-2021-31955-cve-2021-31956-and-cve-2021-33742 https://www.tenable.com/blog/cve-2021-21985-critical-vmware-vcenter-server-remote-code-execution Follow along for more from Tenable Research:Subscribe to the blogFollow Tenable’s Zero Day team on Medium
