Philips released software updates to address some of the flaws, but multiple vulnerabilities require systemadministrators to apply workarounds in the interim as the patches are currently in development and won’t be released for some time. Also recognize that VPN is only as secure as the connected devices,” the alert reads.
A few days later, IT systems started malfunctioning with ransom messages following. The systemadministrator did not configure standard security controls when installing the server in question. Meanwhile, the suspect server was connected to the CDOT domain with an administrator account and the internet. ConnectWise.
Some of these attacks are challenging to detect because they look like they could be the behavior of legitimate systemadministrators. August 24, 2023 Akira ransomware targeting Cisco, but MFA helps Akira ransomware groups have been exploiting Cisco’s virtual private network ( VPN ) tools.
And certain VPN clients or remote access agents perform posture checks to enforce device-based access policies. But organizations are moving their applications to the cloud, allowing BYOD and contractor devices for work, and reducing their reliance on VPN for remote access. Administrators can set access policies based on device health.

Thus, it would be best if you secured all networks by incorporating firewalls and advanced encryption technology. If you have to work remotely, avoid using public Wi-Fi and activate a VPN (Virtual Private Network). For instance, you can use reliable providers with robust firewalls, VPNs, and advanced end-to-end encryptions. .
Kaseya’s flagship product is a remote monitoring and management (RMM) solution called the Virtual SystemsAdministrator (VSA) and is the product at the center of the current attack. When administrators noticed suspicious behavior on Friday, Kaseya shut down VSA. VSA server breached.
This cloud-centric model offers administrators granular network management opportunities while leveraging the bandwidth and reducing the cost of service delivery. Many software-defined networking solutions (SDN) have built-in 128- and 256-bit AES encryption and IPsec-based VPN capabilities. Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) and FWaaS.
When I started my career as a penetration tester, the name of the game was all about breaching the external perimeter: finding open ports in the firewall, mapping ports and listening services, and trying to find vulnerabilities and available exploits to penetrate that layer of defense. How times have changed.
Web application firewall (WAF) – Due to its ability to differentiate legitimate traffic from malicious traffic, a WAF is one of the best ways to protect your web applications – like live chat features and shopping carts — from harmful threats. Companies often enforce employees who work remotely to use a VPN.
For organizations of various sizes that means being able to quickly set up remote working systems to enable employees to work from their homes so that they can protect themselves from being infected. That in turn means answering the following questions: How many VPN terminations do I have and which routable IP addresses they are mapped to?
This resulted in defenses being disabled and ransomware being deployed, as demonstrated by the EstateRansomware group’s attack on a failover server using FortiGate SSL VPN and RDP connections. Systemadministrators should promptly update to the most recent version (4.98).
Okta was breached through one of its service providers, Sitel, itself compromised via the insecure VPN gateway of a recently acquired company. We encourage systemadministrators to immediately set up monitoring for these machines, due to the unlikelihood that patching (even in a timely fashion) will be sufficient to protect them.
