Emerging Threat: Fortinet CVE-2024-55591

On January 14, 2025, Fortinet disclosed a new critical (CVSS 9.6) authentication bypass vulnerability affecting FortiOS and FortiProxy. This vulnerability, CVE-2024-55591, allows unauthenticated remote attackers to target the Node.js WebSocket module of the administrative interface and potentially gain super-admin privileges.

Corelight and Microsoft: A smarter way to fight alert fatigue

For SOC teams, the battle against cyber threats can feel like trying to solve a 3D jigsaw puzzle in a bouncy house with missing pieces and a timer blasting every few seconds. Despite the increase in security spending, most teams still struggle with inefficient investigations, alert fatigue, and the non-stop guessing game of prioritizing threats. That’s why we’re excited about our latest integration with Microsoft Security that we hope will help address these persistently common challenges.

Simplify Network Management with a Single Source of Truth

Managing complex networks can feel like an endless challenge, especially when critical data is scattered across multiple tools and systems. Conflicting sources of truth (SOTs) introduce risks, leaving IT teams uncertain about which data to trust. Without an accurate view of your network, tasks like CVE management, troubleshooting, and compliance become overwhelming—and potentially introduce risk into the network.

Dealing with Modern Cloud Servers for Business: Top Tips to Stay Secure

Modern cloud servers have replaced the need for organizations to own physical servers that take space and time to configure. So instead, they turn to cloud server providers who cater to business requests. By doing so, organizations get increased efficiency and the ability to scale for a fraction of the cost. Cloud servers make collaboration easier for remote teams and even acts as a source of data backup. It's no wonder 94% of enterprises have turned to modern cloud solutions for their servers.

Centralize and conquer: Why multi-site DDI Central is a game changer for managing distributed on-premises networks

Managing distributed IT environments is no easy task. As networks grow increasingly complex and interconnected, centralizing their management becomes a daunting challenge. Traditional tools often fall short, struggling to balance centralized control with the unique configurations and autonomy required at each location. This challenge only amplifies as operations scale, leading to inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and operational silos that hinder productivity.

Migrating to Cloud? A Complete Cloud Network Security Checklist

Migrating to the cloud is no longer just an option for businesses—it’s a strategic necessity in today’s digital landscape. The cloud offers unparalleled scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, but it also presents a unique set of cloud network security challenges. A misstep in securing your network during migration can expose sensitive data, disrupt operations, and impact compliance.

Ensure IP forwarding is disabled a RHEL Benchmark

IP forwarding in Linux is a feature that allows a system to route packets between network interfaces, effectively functioning as a router. While this capability is essential for specific network setups, it poses security risks if enabled unnecessarily. Disabling IP forwarding is a critical step in server hardening, particularly for systems not intended to perform routing tasks.
