Yikes. Patching Microsoft Windows will be more important than patching
Tomcat from the vulnerabilities I've seen from both.

That depends on your existing patching procedures.

Tomcat rarely releases patches per se. New versions are sometimes
released to fix non-security-related as well as security-related bugs.
These are also relatively rare.

No. You'll have to watch the lists for updates and then test and deploy
them yourself.

I would ask your NOC what they do for Microsoft Windows updates.
