Cisco recently disclosed a serious zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2025-20352) in IOS / IOS XE, actively exploited in attacks. The flaw resides in the SNMP subsystem, and it’s a stack-based buffer overflow. With low privileges, attackers can trigger Denial-of-Service (DoS) on affected devices. Worse: if higher privileges are compromised (e.g. local admin credentials), this can lead to […]
BLUF: Reports on Jaguar Land Rover’s cyber incident describe “smart factories where everything is connected,” which meant the company couldn’t isolate affected functions and had to shut down most systems across multiple plants rippling into suppliers and production worldwide. Centralized interconnection amplified business impact. What happened (and why it mattered) JLR reportedly shut down systems across […]
The recent Salesforce/Salesloft/Drift supply-chain breach underscores just how fragile trust can be in today’s SaaS-driven environments. What happened: Attackers gained access to Salesloft’s GitHub account between March and June 2025. Using this foothold, they stole OAuth tokens and leveraged them in early August to siphon data from Salesforce environments. Over 700 companies were impacted, including […]
Bottom line: NSA, CISA, EPA, FBI, and allied cyber agencies just published prescriptive guidance for building and maintaining an OT asset inventory and taxonomy—the foundation for a modern, defensible OT architecture. If you already run RedSeal, you can fulfill most of the guidance quickly by modeling your hybrid networks, auto-grouping assets into OT zones, validating segmentation, […]
The past week in cybersecurity felt like reading the script of a cyber-thriller. We saw headlines about researchers tricking ChatGPT into revealing Windows product keys, new proof-of-concept exploits for CitrixBleed2, ransomware gangs striking major corporations, malicious browser extensions silently infecting millions of users, and nation-state actors pivoting to novel attack vectors.
On the […]
