On June 13, 2023, the United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released Binding Operational Directive 23-02 titled Mitigating the Risk from Internet-Exposed Management Interfaces. This BOD is aimed at reducing the risk posed by having the ability to configure or control federal agency’s networks from the public internet. If you are curious about this threat, you should review MITRE ATT&CK’s T1133- External Remote Services.

Increasingly, security teams are tasked with identifying, understanding, and managing risk around devices that may live outside the traditional IT umbrella. Operational Technology (OT) refers to computing systems that are used to manage and process operational functions as opposed to administrative operations, with Industrial Control Systems (ICS) being a major segment of that OT sector.

Network complexity is at an all-time high. Between legacy technology, hybrid-multi-cloud environments, and networks cobbled together by mergers and acquisitions, it’s impossible for people to keep track of the network, its topology, and behavior. The idea of trying to trace a path through a multi-cloud network seems akin to being asked to pull a rabbit out of your hat.

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 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.

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.
