Velvet Ant's silent invasion.: This week, we are joined by, Amnon Kushnir from Sygnia, who is sharing their work on "China-Nexus Threat Group ‘Velvet Ant’ Leverages a Zero-Day to Deploy Malware on Cisco Nexus Switches." In early 2024, Sygnia observed the ‘Velvet Ant’ threat group exploiting a zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2024-20399) to infiltrate Cisco Switch appliances and operate undetected within enterprise networks. This attack enables threat actors to escape Cisco’s command interface and install malware directly on the device’s OS, bypassing standard security tools. The incident underscores the risks posed by third-party appliances and the importance of enhanced monitoring and threat detection to counter advanced persistent threats. #cyber #cybersecurity #cybersecurityjobs #informationsecurity #management #innovation #cyberjobs #technology

ICYMI: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Siemens InterMesh Subscriber Devices Could Allow for Remote Code Execution: Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Siemens InterMesh Subscriber Devices, the most severe of which could allow for remote code execution. InterMesh leverages mesh radio technology and hardened alarm monitoring panels to create a private, self-healing network that delivers alarm signals. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for remote code execution in the context of the system. Depending on the privileges associated with the system, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data. #cyber #cybersecurity #informationsecurity #innovation #cloudsecurity #cloud #cyberjobs #cio

ICYMI: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Apple Products Could Allow for Arbitrary Code Execution: Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apple products, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights. #cyber #cybersecurity #informationsecurity #cloud #management #technology #cto #cloudsecurity
