There are missing security updates on TargetWindows$01.$ As a result, several vulnerabilities exist on the machine. For example, a high$-$severity vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows SMB protocol allows an unauthenticated attacker to gain privileged shell access over the network $($CVE$-2017-0143).$ This vulnerability should be patched as soon as possible, along with others. Patching is an extremely critical countermeasure, not only for organizations but also for individuals. Organizations and individuals can prevent system hacks, data breaches, ransomware attacks, and malware attacks by applying patches in a timely manner. It is not simply about patching existing vulnerabilities: It is about adopting a patch management system that will automatically check, test, and install patches. For the Acme Corporation, configuring the operating system to download and install vendor updates automatically is a good start.$$
