  How Microsoft Develops and Releases Software Patches
Time: 10:16 EST/15:16 GMT | News Source: Microsoft TechNet Security | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

When we launched our first security newsletter in December, I asked you to send me your comments and feedback so that I could be your advocate at Microsoft for security issues—and you delivered! I appreciate the many e-mail messages with comments and questions, and we will begin answering them this month.

One particular question raised by many of you focused around the Microsoft process for patching known vulnerabilities. This is an important topic to many of you, so this month I will describe the lifecycle of a software vulnerability from time of disclosure until a patch and Security Bulletin release.

The Microsoft security response process follows the general steps of reporting, investigation, development, test, and release.
