Gaps in your security posture are where the cyber storm fronts are and the cyber storm is both on-prem and in the cloud. To do your job correctly, you need to get an accurate forecast today of the cyber weather, and the rush to move assets into the cloud has created all sorts of new stormy weather to contend with.

The Federal Bureau of investigation (FBI) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have released a joint advisory warning that 3 Fortinet CVEs (CVE 2018-13379, CVE-2020-12812, and CVE-2019-5591) are being leveraged to gain a foothold in government agency and commercial networks to be exploited in the future.

F5 has released patches for several BIG-IP and BIG-IQ critical vulnerabilities. CVE-2021-22986 is the most critical since it allows unauthenticated attackers with network access to use the iControl REST interface, via the BIG-IP management interface and self IP addresses, to execute system commands that could lead to complete system compromise.
Multiple news sources, security researchers and security agencies have reported on a new attack against tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of Internet accessible Exchange servers configured for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) Outlook Web App (OWA) access. These attacks are being carried out by the China nation/state sponsored hacking group known as Hafnium.
The U.S. National Security Agency published a report detailing the top 25 vulnerabilities consistently being scanned, targeted, and exploited by Chinese state-sponsored hacking groups. All 25 vulnerabilities are known and have patches available from their vendors.

All cybersecurity news events, like the recent disclosure of compromise involving SolarWinds Orion by APT 29, aka “Cozy Bear,” cause CISOs to ask the same initial questions:
Do I have this problem? Where? What are the consequences?
In this instance, the attack is extremely sophisticated, and quite alarming – it’s a supply chain attack, involving […]

Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) have a known vulnerability – CVE-2020-3452. This security vulnerability can allow an unauthenticated attacker to remotely conduct a directory traversal attack as well as read sensitive files on a targeted system.
Exploiting this vulnerability, the attacker can view files […]
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a tiered system in which defense contractors—or any organization holding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must be vetted by a third-party assessor on a five-level scale to determine the maturity of their enterprise security. This requires companies that do business with the Department of Defense to protect their data since […]
