Modern enterprise complexity is challenging cybersecurity programs. With the widespread adoption of cloud services and remote work, and the broadening distribution of applications and employees away from traditional corporate locations, organizations require a more flexible and scalable approach to network security. SASE technology can help address these issues, making SASE adoption a goal for many organizations worldwide. But adoption paths can vary widely.

According to a recent Yerbo survey, 40% of IT professionals are at high risk of burnout. In fact, and perhaps even more alarming, 42% of them plan to quit their company in the next six months.

Converging networking with security is fundamental to creating a robust and resilient IT infrastructure that can withstand the evolving cyber threat landscape. It not only protects sensitive data and resources but also contributes to the overall success and trustworthiness of an organization. And just as technologies are converging, networking and security teams are increasingly working together.

TL;DR This vulnerability appears to be less severe than initially anticipated. Cato customers and infrastructure are secure. Last week the original author and long-time lead developer of cURL Daniel Stenberg published a “teaser” for a HIGH severity vulnerability in the ubiquitous libcurl development library and the curl command-line utility. A week of anticipation, multiple heinous crimes against humanity and a declaration of war later, the vulnerability was disclosed publicly.

A new critical vulnerability has been disclosed by Atlassian in a security advisory published on October 4th 2023 in its on-premise Confluence Data Center and Server product.
