CVE-2024-24919 is a critical security vulnerability identified in Check Point Quantum Security Gateway, a widely used network security appliance. This vulnerability allows attackers to exploit the gateway, leading to the exposure of sensitive information. As a zero-day exploit, it presents significant risks to organizations relying on Check Point for their network security.

The digital supply chain refers to the chain of third-party digital tools, services and infrastructure that your company depends on for a particular first-party service (such as your website or SaaS platform). In an ever-changing digital landscape, supply chains can be brittle with many unseen risks. The nature of supply chain risk is transitive; any part of the often long and complicated digital supply chain can be compromised, causing all components downstream of it to also be compromised.

By expanding its scope and introducing modernized requirements, the new NIS 2 Directive challenges organizations to elevate their cyber preparedness. This article explores how the directive affects a wide range of sectors and the critical infrastructure within them, detailing the requirements for compliance and highlighting the key role that IONIX plays in supporting organizations in meeting these regulations.

In the modern era of digitized operations, even non-tech companies must prioritize cybersecurity and operational resilience. This especially applies to industries where security is of paramount importance, such as the financial industry.

In part 1 of this series, we covered a lot of ground including the three converging trends that point to the need for an attack surface management (ASM) solution – the growing attack surface, attackers having more opportunities and tools to infiltrate the attack surface, and manual SecOps being slow and ineffective. We also outlined the key features you should be looking for when selecting an ASM tool.

As digital infrastructure becomes increasingly integrated into every day operations across various industries, ensuring the security of sensitive information becomes crucial for safeguarding both individuals and organizations from cyber threats. In the vast landscape of cybersecurity risks, two terms stand out: information disclosure and data exposure. Understanding these concepts is vital, as they can significantly impact trust and lead to potential repercussions.

What is ASM, sometimes called EASM? A simple definition of External Attack Surface Management (ASM or EASM) is the process of defining and securing your organization from the outside-in. Your organization’s attack surface is made up of all the assets belonging to your organization, all of your vendor-managed assets, Cloud and SaaS assets, and all of their external third-party, fourth-party, and Nth-party connections that are visible to an outsider.

Unauthenticated, remote attackers can execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges against certain Palo Alto’s GlobalProtect firewalls, using a just announced critical severity vulnerability which is being actively exploited in the wild. While limited to specific versions and configurations, unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerabilities are among the most severe security vulnerabilities that exist. Indeed, CVE-2024-3400 has a critical 10 out of 10 rating under CVSS.
