Do LabVIEW upgrades include security patches

[BaneOfAnubis]

Am looking into whether to renew the standard service program. From a programming standpoint, don't need to, but from a security standpoint am wondering if the updates in software ever patch security issues. Know in general LV is pretty secure, so wasn't sure if the updates ever include this or if those patches would be released without the standard service agreement (I assume they would).

Thanks for your help!

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with NI and these are my observations:

Patches do not require an SSP.  However, patches are usually only applied to the SP1 versions of LabVIEW once they are released (there are often patches before the SP1 version comes out, but I can't think of any non-SP patches coming out after the SP is released).  So if you move on to LabVIEW 2020 and then your SSP expires before LabVIEW 2020SP1 comes out, you might not see any security patches.
