Obviously each customer will do their own prioritization of the updates listed above for their environment; however, we have put together a “Bulletin Deployment Priority” chart based on a combination of severity rating, exploitability index rating, available mitigations and workarounds, and range of affected products that you can download and use as you do your assessment, if you choose to. You can also download the February 2011 Security Release ISO Image, which has now been released.
Tomorrow at 11:00 am PST, we will be conducting the February Security Bulletin Webcast and you can register for the February Security Bulletin Webcast in order to join us for this. If you are unable to join us for tomorrow’s webcast at 11:00 am PST, you can view a recording of the webcast and can find out more about this HERE.
