MILPITAS, Calif., April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A review of SonicWall telemetry data suggests that the most widespread network attacks to small businesses (SMBs) are older vulnerabilities with a large amount of publicly available information and affecting major vendors. In light of this data, prioritization is a critically important factor for today's CISOs who are asked to manage and prioritize risk. 

Key Points: 
  • In light of this data, prioritization is a critically important factor for today's CISOs who are asked to manage and prioritize risk.
  • "In order to properly prioritize threats, we must first understand what attacks, vulnerabilities, and tactics are being used by our enemies," said SonicWall Executive Director of Threat Research Doug McKee.
  • "Relying too heavily on one factor (e.g., CVSS scores) can lead to an incomplete view of the risk associated with a vulnerability.
  • From January 2022 to March 2024, using SonicWall IPS data, SonicWall determined the most widespread attacks against small businesses.

ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- New research from Fortress Information Security shows software makers use a lot of code found on open-source platforms that they know very little about. Using available Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) for software commonly used by U.S. energy companies, the Fortress research team found more than a thousand components coming from developers in adversarial nation-states like Russia and China. Additionally, some of the potentially compromised contributions can sit, unpatched, for years before being addressed.

Key Points: 
  • Using available Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) for software commonly used by U.S. energy companies, the Fortress research team found more than a thousand components coming from developers in adversarial nation-states like Russia and China.
  • The Fortress researchers detailed their findings in a new report, A Software Supply Chain Dependent on Adversaries ( link ).
  • Software with Russian or Chinese-made code examined by Fortress research is 2.25 times more likely to have vulnerabilities.
  • But, until we have confidence secure by design software that isn't laced with malicious code, every software product could contain a ticking time bomb.
