    CERT-In orders 12-hour patching for internet-exposed critical vulnerabilities

    Legal Policy Action Update

    CERT-In issued a 38-page blueprint directing organizations to patch critical security vulnerabilities in internet-exposed systems within 12 hours where feasible, and to remediate known exploited vulnerabilities and other high-risk flaws on accelerated timelines. The guidance cites AI-assisted cyber exploitation that can shorten vulnerability discovery, weaponization, and exploitation, and it recommends layered controls, continuous monitoring, Zero Trust, SBOM-based supply-chain checks, and temporary mitigations such as isolation, access restriction, WAF/API protection, enhanced monitoring, or feature disablement when patches are not immediately available.
