SBC security patches and software updates protect your ASM from vulnerability to malicious viruses and security threats. To keep your ASM up-to-date, do the following:

• Load the latest

  Spacevars
  0 company

  ASM Rollup available. See Ribbon Support Portal.
• Run the default security template. See Applying an SBA Security Template.

Depending on the size of the update and the number of updates being installed, the reboot may take several minutes and possibly up to an hour.

The ASM needs to have access to the Internet and specifically to the Microsoft Windows Support website.

As the SBC 1k/2k ASM employs Microsoft's Windows Server operating system, it is necessary to periodically download Windows Updates.  Updates are normally downloaded directly to the ASM from the Microsoft Windows Update website. In some cases, the ASM may be installed in a network that does not have Internet access to Microsoft's Windows Update website, therefore the ASM requires an alternative method to download Windows Updates. For more information, see Installing a WSUS.

You must install the Microsoft Cumulative Update on your main server before applying the CU on the SBA.

NOTE: Windows Update packs are cumulative (you only need to install the latest release). The update requires the following 2-step process:

• Installation/Uploading the .pkg via the Install ASM update task. - This installs the Authorized windows updates list
• Initiating Windows Update installation (via the operational status pane). - This connects to Microsoft support to install the updates listed in the authorization list
