In our continued commitment to the security research community, these vulnerabilities were disclosed to Microsoft through our participation in the Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP) program, which ensures the timely, responsible disclosure of new vulnerabilities and creation of protections from security vendors.<\/span><\/p>\n

For current customers <\/span>with a Threat Prevention subscription<\/span>, Palo Alto Networks has also released <\/span>IPS<\/span> signatures <\/span>providing proactive protection for these<\/span> vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Palo Alto Networks is a regular contributor to vulnerability research and has discovered more than 100 critical vulnerabilities over the past two years in the Microsoft, Apple, Android and other ecosystems. By proactively identifying these vulnerabilities, developing protections for our customers, and sharing them with Microsoft for patching, we are removing weapons used by attackers to compromise enterprise, government and service provider networks.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
