What patch policy should one have for non-server items such as switches, appliances, printers, IoT devices etc?
Also what do you guys do with firmware updates for things like BIOS, BMC, NICs, RAID controllers etc?

We try to do this every quarter. If we see the need to do it in mass (Like when Intel had the issue last year or two years ago) then we do it then.

Short of getting advisories from vendors, just putting something on the calendar is probably best.
