My complements to the team at Dark Reading for a well written description of this latest vulnerability and the related potential pitfalls. Once again, vulnerability management is proven to be more than simply spinning up a WSUS server and applying patches. Patching is not the singular fix for all vulnerabilities. I sincerely doubt many people have fleshed out their strategy and begun applying Windows 10 Preview patches. This particular flaw in SMB requires a conscience configuration change in the default OS for Windows and updates or exclusions for other applications. Please take the time to develop a real vulnerability life cycle management strategy and take these threats to your infrastructure seriously.
