> I have worked at places which controlled the roll-out of new security updates (and windows updates)

But did they also control the roll-out of virus/threat definition files? Because if not their goose would have been still cooked this time.



Maybe, maybe not, devil's in the details.

If, for example, they were doing slow rollouts for configs in addition to binaries, they could have caught the problem in their canary/test envs and not let it proceed to a full blackout.
