Windows 11 Update Delays: The Hidden Cyber Resilience Risk for Midmarket IT

from Ready, Set, Midmarket! · host Samara Lynn, Adam Dennison, Andy Ward

Microsoft is giving Windows 11 users more control over when, or if, updates are installed. For many IT teams, that flexibility sounds appealing. But according to new data from Absolute Security, delaying OS updates may be creating a much larger cyber resilience problem — especially for midmarket organizations with lean IT teams and aging infrastructure. In this episode of Ready.Set.Midmarket!, MES Computing sits down with Andy Ward, SVP International at Absolute Security, to unpack why patching is no longer routine maintenance — it’s now a critical factor in an organization’s ability to withstand and recover from cyber incidents Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
