Windows 2008 SBS Patch

Can someone here help me find the Wannacrypt Microsoft patch for Windows SBS 2008? I'm confused at Microsoft's website.

From a philosophical POV, you are approaching this wrong.

Prior to last Friday, it was important to:
1. Keep patches up to date.
2. Have a working antivirus system in place.
3. Have some sort of spam filtering in place.
4. Have known good backups.
5. Train users as best you can manage.

Nothing has changed. Wannacrypt has come and gone, it will probably not appear again. However, some time in a day or a week or a month or a year, another malicious attack will be made on your network, or you will have  catastrophic hardware failure, or a stupid user doing something stupid.

You still need to pay attention the 5 points above, to minimise your risk and exposure to future, unknown events.

Rather than chasing this particular patch up, you should be applying all updates applicable to every system you are using. With SBS2008, assuming it is set up and working properly, WSUS is the best way of doing this.
