Modern enterprise complexity is challenging cybersecurity programs. With the widespread adoption of cloud services and remote work, and the broadening distribution of applications and employees away from traditional corporate locations, organizations require a more flexible and scalable approach to network security. SASE technology can help address these issues, making SASE adoption a goal for many organizations worldwide. But adoption paths can vary widely.

In today’s dynamic digital landscape, the security of hybrid networks has taken center stage. As organizations increasingly adopt cloud solutions, like Azure, the complexities of securing hybrid networks have grown significantly. In this blog post, we’ll provide an overview of the key products and solutions presented in the recent webinar with Microsoft, highlighting how they address these challenges.

Firewalls are one of the most important cybersecurity solutions in the enterprise tech stack. They can also be the most demanding. Firewall management is one of the most time-consuming tasks that security teams and network administrators regularly perform.

The University of Michigan (UM) hosts more than 55,000 students, 35,000 staff members, and 640,000 alums. Unfortunately, following a recent cybersecurity breach, students, applicants, alums, employees, contractors, and donors may now have information at risk. The extent of the exposure is unknown, but the outcome could impact anyone. Those in association with UM must take steps to guard themselves before the assailants can misuse their information.

On October 26, 2023, F5 released security hotfixes for a critical unauthenticated RCE vulnerability (CVE-2023-46747) in BIG-IP’s Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI). If successfully exploited a threat actor with network access to the vulnerable system could bypass the configuration utility authentication and execute arbitrary system commands. CVE-2023-46747 is exploitable if the Traffic Management User Interface is exposed to the Internet.

StackPath announced the discontinuation of its WAF and CDN product lines, redirecting its focus towards a cloud computing platform at the internet’s edge. As a result, the WAF service will cease operations on November 22, 2023.

Zeek® is the world’s most widely used network security monitoring platform and is the foundation for Corelight network evidence. In this blog I share how to write a Zeek package in TypeScript with a new capability called ZeekJS that was released as part of Zeek 6.0.

The growing network perimeter is a fact of life. Attacks on corporate networks can take many forms, such as viruses, backdoors, denial of service (DoS) attacks, macros, remote logins, phishing emails, social engineering, and spam. In this evolving threat landscape, firewalls continue to play a key role in securing our networks and devices.
