For the devices that you manage where you can afford to tighten deployment timelines, we'll explain updated recommendations and show you how to speed up patching. It starts with assessing your risk exposure for unpatched devices using the new Autopatch report in Microsoft Intune, then tightening deferral policies on the devices where it makes sense, using Hotpatch to activate protection on install \u2014 without requiring reboots. Windows Autopatch automates your update deployments using rings to progressively apply updates to the device groups that you help define, including updates for Windows, Microsoft 365 Apps and the Edge browser. And to keep internal resources protected, you can enforce access controls using Conditional Access to block non-compliant devices.&amp;nbsp; Jeremy Chapman, Microsoft 365 Director, shares what's changed along with the approaches you can take to help counter the growing number of AI-discovered vulnerabilities and stay protected.&amp;nbsp; \u25ba QUICK LINKS:&amp;nbsp; 00:00 - AI and Windows patch management 01:13 - Updated patching deferral thresholds 01:46 - Hotpatch on by default 02:05 - Windows Autopatch report 02:30 - Ring-based deployment + M365 Apps servicing profile 02:50 - Conditional Access for non-compliant devices 03:16 - Wrap up \u25ba Link References For what you can do beyond patching, go to https:\/\/aka.ms\/securenow \u25ba Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?
