Apple @ Work: The three prongs of software updates in the AI era

IT teams must adapt to a shift in software update management driven by AI tools that are increasingly proficient at automatically discovering software vulnerabilities, according to an Apple @ Work column. The column argues that software updates will move away from traditional quarterly point releases and monthly Patch Tuesday cycles toward continuous cloud-style updates, and it outlines three prongs of modern patch management that IT teams need to understand to keep pace with faster-moving threat actors.

For my entire IT career, software updates have operated on a predictable schedule. IT administrators have been conditioned to build workflows around quarterly point releases or monthly patching cycles (Patch Tuesday). However, as AI tools become very proficient at automatically discovering software vulnerabilities, threat actors are moving faster than ever before. With that being said, I very much miss 18th-month macOS/OS X releases. We are rapidly entering an era in which software updates will look less like traditional operating system updates and more like continuous cloud updates. To survive this shift, IT teams must understand the three prongs of modern patch management*.*
