    Just raising awareness of the importance in keeping your SEP up-to-date with the latest releases (SEP 12.1 RU6 MP9  and SEP 14 RU1).  In addition to product fixes, enhancements and improvements, the current versions of SEP 12.1 and SEP 14 include protection against three known vulnerabilities (two in 12.1, one in 14).  One vulnerability is High Severity, one Medium severity and one Low Severity. These vulnerabilities affect the SEP Client (not SEPM) on Windows (not SEP for Mac or SEP for Linux).
