Twenty years ago this month, Microsoft introduced the concept of “Patch Tuesday” – although the marketing folks wanted it called “Update Tuesday” (they didn’t like the word “patch”).

Pop some champagne to celebrate and join us as we review the details of the latest advisories from Adobe and Microsoft. If you’d rather watch the video recap, you can check it out here.
