Cisco’s Vulnerability Fix: Free Updates, But Read the Fine Print!
Cisco reminds us that free security software updates are like a free lunch—enjoyable but not an all-you-can-eat buffet. Customers can only install updates for licensed software. So, keep your devices supported, check vulnerabilities using the Cisco Software Checker, and remember: no contract, no problem—just contact Cisco TAC for assistance.
Hot Take:
