Response

BD is currently working to test and validate the Microsoft patch(es) for BD products that use the affected third-party components. Some patches may already be available. Please refer to the Bulletins and Patches page for all approved product security patching notifications. Additionally, we recommend the following compensating controls for customers using BD products that utilize Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Windows Server 2019:

  • Customers should limit physical access to the affected devices to authorized users only. We recommend physically securing the system and its input devices behind barriers that require authentication or security clearance, as feasible for products, depending on customer’s environment of use.
 
  • Customers with devices that utilize Microsoft Windows 10 and/or Microsoft Windows Server 2019 and are connected to an external network are advised to consider disconnecting those devices from the external network, as feasible, or apply appropriate network segmentation. We recommend customers place affected devices on an isolated network and follow industry standard best practices for network security measures, as feasible in the customer’s environment of use.
 
  • Execute updates to your malware protection, where available.
 
  • Ensure data has been backed up and stored according to your individual processes and disaster recovery procedures.
 
  • Disable any unnecessary accounts, protocols, and services.
