Hello!

Rapid Security Response are iOS updates that correct certain errors or security flaws. These interventions offer important security improvements between software updates. They provide important security improvements between software updates, such as improvements to the Safari web browser, the webkit framework set, or other important system libraries. They can also be used to more quickly limit some security issues, such as those that may have been exploited or reported as existing.

Apple introduced them with new versions of iOS 16.


I hope this answers your question!
