SASE is all about strategically solving business problems. The systematic removal of technology barriers standing in the way of business outcomes. It is a brand new “how” (platform) for a well-known “what” (features). When we started Cato in 2015, we were immersed in skepticism. Can you actually build a cloud network that will replace MPLS circuits with decades of proven reliability?

While the Fourth of July is typically considered a day of celebration for those in the U.S., many don’t realize it’s also a period of heightened risk. In fact, this isn’t unique to the Fourth of July: holidays often see an uptick in cybersecurity threats.

The number 42 has gained legendary status in popular culture, largely due to Douglas Adams’ science fiction series, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. In this series, a group of hyper-intelligent beings build a supercomputer named Deep Thought to calculate the “Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything”. After much contemplation, Deep Thought reveals the answer to be simply “42”.

A high-severity remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability, CVE-2024-6387, has been discovered in OpenSSH’s server by the Qualys research team. This vulnerability is particularly concerning as it revives an issue that was previously addressed in 2006, highlighting the persistence of hidden bugs in widely used secure software. This discovery follows another significant vulnerability in the XZ Utils library found just a few months ago, underscoring ongoing security challenges.

Following the kick-off of the UEFA EUROs 2024 in Germany, Egress’ Threat Intelligence team has observed a massive spike in Euros-related phishing attacks, recording 7,000 unique campaigns with over 24,000 individual attacks since June 17th, 2024.

For years, we as security practitioners were promised that AI and machine learning would change our lives for the better, but time and time again, the companies that touted this technology disappointed us. In the first decade or so of AI-branded security tools, we saw plenty of products that demoed well, but were completely undeployable.
