About Out-of-Band Updates

Out-of-Band or Out-of Cycle updates are security updates that are not released on the second Tuesday of the month, commonly known as Patch Tuesday. Microsoft deems the necessity of the out-of band security update due to the wide-spread of the exploit that affects Microsoft products and its customers. Typically security updates are released on the second Tuesday of the month so IT administrators can plan for these days to test and deploy security patches.
