Vulnerabilities are proliferating in SonicWall devices and software this year, putting the vendor’s customers at risk of intrusion via secure access gateways and firewalls. The year started off on a sour note for the California-based company when it released security advisories for nine vulnerabilities on Jan. 7. The total number of vulnerabilities publicly disclosed by…

Insight No. 1 — Fast code, slow security? Think ADR Consider the scenario: Development teams are pushing code at unprecedented speeds, and vulnerabilities, whether human or AI-generated, are lingering far too long. What’s the logical outcome? Increased exploitation in your production environment. The strategic imperative is clear: We must implement robust detection and response capabilities…

Attackers hit security device defects hard in 2024
Attackers are having a field day with software defects in security devices, according to a new report released Wednesday by Mandiant Exploits were the most common initial infection vector, representing 1 of every 3 attacks in 2024, and the four most frequently exploited vulnerabilities were all contained in edge devices, such as VPNs, firewalls and…

Attackers stick with effective intrusion points, valid credentials and exploits
IBM X-Force observed an identical breakdown of the top methods cybercriminals used to intrude networks for two years running, the company said in its annual Threat Intelligence Index. The top initial access vectors, valid account credentials and exploitation of public-facing applications, each accounted for 30% of IBM X-Force incident response cases last year. By focusing…

Is Ivanti the problem or a symptom of a systemic issue with network devices?
Network edge devices — hardware that powers firewalls, VPNs and network routers — have quickly moved up the list of attackers’ preferred intrusion points into enterprise networks. While dozens of companies make and sell these devices, customers of one company in particular — Ivanti — have confronted exploited vulnerabilities in their products more than any…

China-backed espionage group hits Ivanti customers again
Ivanti customers are confronting another string of attacks linked to an actively exploited vulnerability in the company’s VPN products. Mandiant said a nation-state backed espionage group linked to China has been exploiting the critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-22457, since mid-March. The threat group, which Google Threat Intelligence Group tracks as UNC5221, has a knack for exploiting Ivanti…

Application Detection and Response Analysis: Why ADR? How ADR Works, and ADR Benefits
Two highly respected technology analysts from different cybersecurity disciplines are coming together to recommend that companies consider Application Detection and Response. Organizations face a constant barrage of cyber threats, including zero-day vulnerabilities that can exploit unknown weaknesses in software. Traditional security solutions often fall short in detecting and responding to these attacks, leaving organizations vulnerable.…

New zero-day exploit targets Ivanti VPN product
A year after a series of vulnerabilities impacting a pair of Ivanti VPN products prompted an emergency directive from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to federal agencies, the Utah-based software firm is again experiencing issues with one of its signature systems. The company on Wednesday disclosed two vulnerabilities — CVE-2025-0282 and CVE-2025-0283 — that…
