Following last week’s « Ask The Griots », one of our readers wanted to know if updates follow a schedule? We answer in this week’s #AskTheGriots

Yes, most of the time

System and security updates generally follow a schedule. However, the way these schedules are managed can vary according to operating system and manufacturer.

System updates may follow an annual or half-yearly schedule. Security updates, on the other hand, are generally released on a more regular basis, often on a monthly basis.

Urgent updates

In the event of the discovery of a vulnerability or bug in a system, an urgent update can then be deployed, regardless of a defined schedule.

Once a critical problem has been detected, for example, a manufacturer sets about finding a solution as quickly as possible. Once the solution has been validated, the update is rolled out to users.
