Security Bulletin changes
Q: What changes are you making to the security bulletins?
A: Customers have told us they are satisfied with the level of technical detail in the bulletins, but they also want to be able to quickly determine the severity of the bulletin and its applicability to their environment. With that in mind, we are making the following changes:
· Move all applicable decision making information to the top of the page
· Create a table of affected products with links to the download location of the updates
· Change the section titles to be more representative of the content under them
· Re-arrange content to areas that make them more intuitive to find
· Reduce some of the repetitive content in the bulletin
Q: What prompted the change to the security bulletin layout?
A: We conducted customer surveys and focus groups to determine how customers use the information in the bulletins. Those studies and direct customer feedback told us that customers want to be able to quickly find relevant information in order to determine if a bulletin is relevant to their environment and to assess the severity and any known issues. Once they have determined the need for the update, they want quick access to the download locations. The new format helps address these wants by including all applicable decision making information at the top of the page and making the content easier to find.
