In May 2026 Oracle added monthly CSPUs (critical security patch updates) in additional to the quarterly CPUs (critical patch updates). This dramatically increases the impact of security patching on companies' operations. This panel will discuss what the release schedule is from Oracle and the difference between a CSPU and a CPU release. After a bried presentation, we will open the floor for questions and discussion to help you figure out the best testing and patching strategy for your company.
Learning Objectives:
- What are CSPUs?
- Why are there monthly patches?
- How do you deal with testing?
