Apple has made public its first set of “rapid security” fixes, which are especially meant to address security flaws that are now being actively exploited or represent a major danger to consumers’ safety and privacy.
Apple claims that the ‘Rapid Security Responses’ provide significant security enhancements in between software upgrades.
“Rapid Security Responses” are a new form of iPhone, iPad, and Mac software release. They provide significant security improvements in between software updates, such as improvements to the Safari web browser, the WebKit framework stack, or other critical system libraries. According to Apple’s support website, “they may also be used to mitigate some security issues more quickly.”
