The Later Button — Why You Shouldn't Put Off Updates

A security update closes a known hole in your software, so pressing 'remind me later' leaves that hole open — and 'later' rarely comes, while attackers race to exploit known holes. So you press update, not later, and turn on automatic updates so it mostly happens by itself.

What you'll learn

• Notice the reflex to press 'remind me later', and see that a security update closes a known hole, so 'later' leaves it open.
• Know that 'later' rarely comes, stretching into weeks of exposure, and that you're racing attackers who sweep for open holes.
• Make 'now' the easy choice by turning on automatic updates, so updating mostly happens by itself.
• See through 'if it's working, why change it?' (working isn't safe) and 'it won't be me' (attackers sweep for anyone open).
