Today, this tweet caught my attention. https://twitter.com/xenappblog/status/879869931847905280 Patch management is currently a hot topic, primarily because of the latest ransomware attacks. After appearance of WannaCry, one of my older blog posts got unfamiliar attention: WSUS on Windows 2012 (R2) and KB3159706 – WSUS console fails to connect. Why? My guess: Many admins started updating their Windows servers after appearance of WannaCry. Nearly a year after Microsoft has published KB3159706, their WSUS servers ran into this issue.

Today a tweet from Keith Townsend (@CTOAdvisor) has caught my attention: https://twitter.com/CTOAdvisor/status/729141035692068865 Keith wrote a nice blog post and I really recommend to read it. His point is, that automation enables business agility. The point of automation is to enable business agility. Business agility isn’t achieved by automating inefficient processes. The start of an IT automation project begins by examining existing processes and eliminating inefficiency. Agility is the ability of an organization to act flexible, proactive, adaptable and with initiative in times of change and uncertainty.
