"Future Mainteance is Pending"

general

Wanted to get some clarification around what "Future Maintenance is Pending" and "Phase 1 Complete" mean. Does this mean that Meltdown mitigation is complete and "Phase 2" is merely a placeholder for forthcoming Spectre patches? We want to communicate this info up to our users and leadership from a vetted source rather than saying "We think this is what this means".

Thanks for keeping on top of the remediation! Much appreciated.

Hello,

The "Phase 1 Complete" is in reference to future updates that will be required to mitigate all variants of Spectre. We don't have an exact timeframe for that yet, but we will communicate with you once a schedule has been determined.

Please keep an eye on our blog for any new updates:
