Apple Security Vulnerability Updates - Action Required

Dear Colleagues,

Apple have released a new security update to resolve several vulnerabilities, including a zero-day within iPadOS and iOS that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. They have confirmed these vulnerabilities are being actively exploited.

If you have not yet already done so, can you please update your Apple device at your earliest convenience.

The update process itself is simple, and we have attached the instructions for this in case you need them. A reboot of the device will likely be required so please just bear this in mind before you proceed.

Thank you very much for your assistance.
