In order to try and correct the issue of the window of vulnerability (WOV), the LAN administrator needs to get the patch from Microsoft. Upon contact Microsoft has determined that it will take up to no less than three business days for the patch that we requested to be made available to us. Once we receive the patch we would need approximately several hours to download and then test out the patch to be certain that the patch will work and that this is the correct action to take to fix the Window of Vulnerability and seal the security breach on the Server Message Block server. Upon completion of testing the IT staff would need to hold a meeting to assess the quickest and most correct course of action to take after the patch has been installed to determine how to apply the patch apply it to the server and also to client computers depending on the process the IT staff decides to take it can take anywhere from one to three business days for the completion date to be met. If the IT staff were to work around the clock for overtime in shifts and the security breach was reported on a Friday with three days for the patch to be made and a week to troubleshoot and test the patch.
The Window of vulnerability would be close to two weeks of time where their system can breached again and my recommendation if I were the administrator to remedy this gap of time I would attempt to have around the clock staff working on this in order to prevent further breaches of security until the Window of Vulnerability is closed off and made to be secure and available for public use again. The IT staff would have to be on board to work around the clock to correct this gap in security as fast possible the administrator should ask for volunteers to avoid rocking the boat and upsetting his/her IT staff. In my opinion this would be the best course of action to close the security gap as soon as possible and it would provide your staff with overtime if they want to take that opportunity but also
