These include memory corruption issues, access control issues, input validation issues, XML issues, parsing issues, buffer overflows, path validation issues, problems with the handling of SSL handshakes, issues with validation of ACLs for the keychain, and more. iOS 9.2 for iPhone 4s and above, iPod Touch gen 5 and above and iPad 2 and above addresses more than fifty vulnerabilities in almost thirty different OS components, including WebKit, the Sandbox, Safari web browser, Siri, the Photos component, iBooks, LaunchServices, CoreGraphics and a number in the kernel.Six of the updates came out on December 8: Remember November, when Apple took the month off and didn’t release any security updates? Well, they made up for it in December, with eight version updates that cover many of their operating systems and applications. Meanwhile, let’s look at the patches that were released for some of the popular other-than-Microsoft products on this last month of 2015. If you’re one of those IT pros who doesn’t always get around to patching your machines, perhaps a good New Year’s resolution would be to consider reassessing that strategy. Many suffer from the “It won’t happen to me” syndrome, which is usually true – until suddenly it isn’t. Some put off applying patches because they’re afraid of the updates causing problems, and some keep putting it off even after others have reported no problems simply because they don’t want to take the time. Similarly, some organizations are more diligent than others about preparing for the possibility of a hack attack or malware infestation.

On the other hand, some of those who lost their homes didn’t even have insurance. However, we weren’t as well prepared as some others, who had backup generators with automatic failover. We made it through the 72 hours without heat and lights more easily than some because we had plenty of flashlights, a large cache of batteries, candles, a DC inverter for charging devices from the car battery, a big emergency food supply, a gas cooktop and other such items. Some of the tornado victims had shelters and safe rooms and had planned for what to do if this happened others didn’t. Disaster can strike from out of the blue – and that includes attacks on our networks that can suddenly destroy everything: our data, our ability to do business, and our organizations’ reputations.

My takeaway from this experience as it applies to the IT security landscape is that it’s important to be prepared for anything. My home was spared we only suffered a three-day power outage, but I look out my window and see a whole row of houses across the lake from me that were demolished. On a personal note, for me it was a very good year with a not-so-good ending, as the town where I live was devastated by a tornado on the day after Christmas.
