Microsoft publishes 1,413 CVEs on 13 October 2026, above September’s 973. Only one is exploited, a Mark of the Web bypass added the same day to CISA’s KEV catalogue, and this Patch Tuesday is the last one scheduled under the ESU programmes for Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, Exchange Server 2016 and 2019.

Three Linux kernel CVEs enter CISA’s KEV catalogue with a three-day deadline and mandatory forensic triage. Fixes, scope and how to read the scores.
France’s ANSSI has published five incident investigation strategies. The SIM3 maturity model measures which ones a team can actually run.

Published in 1998 and never replaced, RFC 2350 describes an incident response team in seven parts. What it demands, what has aged, how to write one.
SIM3 v2 interim measures a team over 45 parameters and 5 levels. Free for internal use, tooled online, and soon extended to SOCs and PSIRTs
