Well if your Cisco it does. At least as it relates to security bugs involving IOS software according to this article in The Register. Taking a page out of Microsoft Cisco will release regular security fixes on the fourth Wednesday of March and then again in September. So I guess mark your calendars. Of course Cisco reserves the right to release updates and fixes out of cycle if the severity and risk warrant it.They will also continue their regular security advisories for products other than IOS.
Cisco says they did this to provide predictability to its customers. I just feel that twice a year is so infrequent, why bother. If a bug comes to light, lets say in April, I don't want to be waiting for the fourth Wed in September to get the fix and begin testing it.That just does not seem like good business to me.
