ARDx Informatics, Inc. reviews all Microsoft security patches when they are released. The review of latest Security Bulletins is currently underway. Microsoft rates some of these as 'critical' but the vulnerabilities may in fact pose no risk to the RALS System if customers adhere to the intended use of the RALS System.
MS Patches NOT Critical to the RALS System Functionality
If we determine that the vulnerability as described in a Microsoft bulletin should not adversely affect the RALS System functionality when the system is used as intended, the security patch will be tested and included in the next routine product version release. Should the user apply the patches, Informatics cannot guarantee or warranty its operation or impact on the RALS System. In this situation there will be no routine customer notification.
MS Patches Critical to the RALS System Functionality
If it is determined that the security vulnerability as described in a Microsoft bulletin is critical to the RALS System functionality, we will notify customers via a broadcast email from and by notice on our website.
.NET Core Upgrade Guidance
Effective with the December 2020 Microsoft Security Bulletin Update, ARDx Informatics has provided guidance on the .NET Core upgrade procedure for the RALS application.
