One that Sony recently discovered. But one that which has been identified and patched elsewhere for a while already.

so do you fix everything you notice the second you notice it, things take time, at most it took them too much but without an actual time frame and industry standards to compare it to we don't even know that 


Actually yes. When security patches are released, administrators are expected to be aware of it and apply them if necessary.

So the second one person on the team discovers the vunerability the adminstrator is suppossed to magically know it and repair it within a second?

I expect a security to be on top of any patches that are released to known vulnerability. They should be aware of it within days at most and have some plan of action put together. It shouldn't stay unpatched for months.

I would expect my administrators to be on email lists which inform people whenever security patches are released. Also, I would expect them to remain informed of the latest security developments by checking sites relevant to installed software on a daily basis.

So where is the source saying that it was longer then days? Or even a day, or even 4 hours? Like I said without a time frame and industry standards to compare we don't know anything
