Advance Notification Service for the September 2014 Security Bulletin Release

Today, we provide advance notification for the release of four Security Bulletins. One of these updates is rated Critical and three are rated as Important in severity. These updates are for Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer, .NET Framework and Lync.

As a reminder, we are now using a new format for our Security Bulletin Webcast, scheduled on Wednesday, September 10, at 11 a.m. PDT. You are no longer required to register, download the Live Meeting client, or dial in to a separate number. A link to the Webcast will be included in our blog next Tuesday.

As per our usual process, we’ve scheduled the Security Bulletin release for the second Tuesday of the month, September 9, 2014, at approximately 10 a.m. PDT. Revisit this blog then for analysis of the relative impact, as well as deployment guidance, together with a brief video overview of the month’s updates. Until then, please review the ANS summary page for more information to help you prepare for Security Bulletin testing and deployment.
