Back then, endpoint security focused on computers, which meant the installation of antivirus, malware protection, firewall, and (sometimes) VPN in every computer. These ignored, forgotten, and un-updated (OS/firmware) connected devices can become vulnerabilities exploited by cybercriminals to gain access to networks and cloud resources.

APTs will contain a cyberattack component, but APTs also commonly include confidence schemes, social engineering , physical access to facilities , bribes, extortion, and other methods to gain system access. Use web application firewalls to protect exposed web apps. See the Top Secure Email Gateway Solutions.

From BIOS and firmware to UEFI code, VBOS is an attack vector that requires more attention. While the design of a unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) overcame BIOS limitations, both components critical to computer operation are an increasing target. Current Target: VBOS. Gateway Compromise. Malicious Cloud Applications.

SonicWall dealt with a serious access control vulnerability that affected its firewall systems. This flaw has the potential to bring down the firewall or grant unauthorized access to resources. The fix: Upgrade to SonicWall’s firmware updates for Gen 5 (to version 5.9.2.14-13o), It was publicly published in August 2024.

Phishing and social engineering are common ways threat actors can obtain a symmetric key, but cryptanalysis and brute force attempts can also break symmetric key ciphers. This feature can be included in firmware, in operating systems, or as a feature in open-source, shareware, or commercial applications.

Firmware Rootkit. A firmware rootkit uses device or platform firmware to create a persistent malware image in the router, network card, hard drive or the basic input/output system (BIOS). The rootkit is able to remain hidden because firmware is not usually inspected for code integrity. using strong authentication.

The method of infection can vary from attack to attack and can include social engineering strategies, such as phishing and email spoofing , or a fraudulent website masquerading as legitimate, among others. Firmware rootkits are also known as “hardware rootkits.”. It’s one of the most infectious forms of malware out there.

Another example seen this year was KV-Botnet , which was deployed on vulnerable firewalls, routers and IP cameras and used to conceal the malicious activities of Volt Typhoon, the actor behind it. Additionally, IoT devices frequently run on embedded systems with firmware that can be easily analyzed for vulnerabilities.
