VPN deployments surged in 2020 as companies transitioned to remote work. Now, hackers are hoping those devices have been left unmaintained by SMBs — and it’s working. At-Bay’s 2024 InsurSec Report reveals 58% of ransomware incidents were attributed to remote access vulnerabilities. Self-managed VPNs were the entry vector for 63% of those events. IT Brew wrote about these findings in a recent article. Check it out to understand the risks of self-managed VPNs and learn the best practices for keeping your network secure. As Adam Tyra, General Manager of Security Services at At-Bay, explains: “These devices have to get configured properly on an ongoing basis. They have to get patched. They have to be maintained. It’s not a set-it-and-forget-it solution.” https://lnkd.in/g4wGNSG6

Remote work is the cornerstone of the modern workplace. For it to function properly, you need secure remote work tools. Recently, security researchers found vulnerabilities in a remote-access tool that allows IT technicians to provide technical support to customers remotely. These vulnerabilities allow hackers to plant malicious code on customers’ systems. ConnectWise openly disclosed the identified flaws and urged customers to install security patches, but thousands of servers still remain affected — and this could impact up to 150,000 people. Guys.. Always keep your software up to date! There’s a good reason for it. https://tcrn.ch/3TiFivX

Today, many companies and workers must mitigate the challenge of ensuring #cybersecurity when handling sensitive data or classified information. When workforces are separated across state or international lines, both internal and external communications must be protected against an array of cyber threats. Not only do organizations lose credibility and reputation during an attack, but they lose productivity and profitability. Read more in Global Security Mag interview with Rajant Corporation's Alice DiSanto, which includes a spotlight on Rajant's RiSM - a commercially available Hardware Security Module (HSM) allowing users to meet the latest #NIST standards for encryption (FIPS 140-3). #security #HSM #wirelessmesh
