Microsoft’s March 2025 Patch Tuesday delivers security updates for 57 vulnerabilities, with 7 zero-day flaws, including 6 that are actively exploited. Critical bugs affect components like NTFS, Microsoft Access, and Windows Server, highlighting the urgent need to apply these patches.

That’s a helpful overview of the March Patch Tuesday release. While timely patching is crucial, focusing solely on reactive fixes might overlook preventative measures.
