In our final OT:ICEFALL report, Forescout Vedere Labs presents three new vulnerabilities and concludes the project after one year of research following the original disclosure. The OT:ICEFALL research, including 61 vulnerabilities affecting 13 vendors, has yielded three key insights into the current state of OT product security.
Complexity is the new normal, which applies equally to businesses’ networks and wireless environments. This is complicated further by the fact that cyberattacks that seek to exploit vulnerabilities in organizations' WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks) are becoming increasingly sophisticated. On World Wi-Fi Day, we want to offer you security tips to create a safer wireless environment.

The terms computer security, information security and cybersecurity were practically non-existent in the 1980s, but believe it or not, firewalls have existed in some form since that time.
The past few years have witnessed a rapid surge in the use of SaaS applications across various industries. But with this growth comes a significant challenge: managing security and assessing risk in application connectivity.
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, businesses proactively seek innovative ways to optimize their networks, enhance operational efficiency, and reduce costs. Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) emerges as a transformative technology that leads the charge. NFV revolutionizes traditional, hardware-based network functions by converting them into flexible, software-based solutions.
Networks today are different from what they were ten years ago, and one could argue that depending on the organization you work for, these networks are different from those just a few years ago. The rise of hybrid networks has made troubleshooting these networks that much more complex. Before, it could have been a hub and spoke design from your end users to the resources they need to access in one of the data centers.
Depending on what the world’s threat actors are up to and whether their activity is detected, CISA may issue a cybersecurity advisory (CSA) every few days or have nothing for a month. It’s hard to predict, and you never know what’s coming your way. One thing is certain: If you managed cybersecurity for a critical infrastructure entity and this #StopRansomware: BianLian Ransomware Group CSA landed in your inbox, you would probably want to take swift action.
On May 31, Forescout Research – Vedere Labs uncovered a significant incident where threat actors exploited a critical zero-day vulnerability in the MOVEit Transfer software, which resulted in unauthorized access to and exfiltration of private data, as well as privilege escalation. MOVEit Transfer is a widely adopted managed file transfer (MFT) solution that enables organizations to securely exchange files with their business partners and customers.
