Update

As a quick update - our team has been working round the clock on the patching process, and we're seeing tremendous progress so far. Everything we patched so far has gone smoothly, with only minimal interruptions, to ensure all machines are patched and updated successfully.

If you have a hardware firewall, please take a moment to check your customer portal for any maintenance ticket notifications. We'll be reaching out to each client directly before starting their maintenance.

Should you notice any issues following your upgrade or have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our Support team - we'll be happy to help. Most updates are still expected to cause only brief interruptions of around 30 minutes or less, and high-availability firewall setups may see little to no downtime.
