How do you guys handle these kinds of notices? As in, do you guys have a department that gets these, or one person, or ??? Currently I'm the only one who gets them and I need to figure out the best way to handle it.

The full version of the Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification for March 2010 can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms10-mar.mspx. This bulletin advance notification will be replaced with the revised March bulletin summary on March 30, 2010. The revised bulletin summary will include the out-of-band security bulletin, as well as the security bulletins already released on March 9, 2010. For more information about the bulletin advance notification service, see http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/advance.mspx. To receive automatic notifications whenever Microsoft Security Bulletins are issued, subscribe to Microsoft Technical Security Notifications on http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/notify.mspx. Microsoft will host a webcast to address customer questions on the out-of-band bulletin on March 30, 2010, at 1:00 PM Pacific Time (US & Canada). Register for the Security Bulletin Webcast at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/summary.mspx. Microsoft also provides information to help customers prioritize monthly security updates with any non-security, high-priority updates that are being released on the same day as the monthly security updates. Please see the section, Other Information.

Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP) =========================================== To improve security protections for customers, Microsoft provides vulnerability information to major security software providers in advance of each monthly security update release.

Microsoft does not distribute security updates via e-mail. The Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) uses PGP to digitally sign all security notifications. However, PGP is not required for reading security notifications, reading security bulletins, or installing security updates.
