Cisco’s Free Fix Frenzy: Patch Your Vulnerabilities Before They Patch You!
Cisco has released free software updates to tackle vulnerabilities. But remember, with great updates come great responsibilities—and licenses! Customers need valid licenses to enjoy these updates and a memory upgrade wouldn’t hurt either. For those without a service contract, contacting Cisco TAC might just become your new hobby.
Hot Take:
Well, folks, looks like Cisco is handing out security patches like Oprah hands out cars. “You get a patch, and you get a patch!” But remember, there’s no free lunch—or free new licenses—here! Just a friendly reminder to update your systems before your servers decide to start a rebellion against your outdated software. And if you’re the kind of person who buys from third-party vendors, brace yourself for a thrilling adventure known as “Contacting Cisco TAC.” Happy patching!
