I don't know anything about the update processes banks use. I would hope they wouldn't have to jump through hoops to apply a security update. Didn't they learn this already?

What do you expect banks and other regulated industries do? YOLO patch whatever and whenever?

I don't work in a regulated industry where it's required, but we do similar with a proper change control process and there's not a single individual that's authorised to perform changes without oversight, (even if that oversight from senior leadership comes retrospectively).

What did banks do with heartbleed, shellshock, spectre, etc?
