What you'll learn
In this episode of What You Should Know we look at authentication bypass in security edge appliances. Attackers are increasingly targeting edge devices to gain initial access to victim environments, with 2024 seeing the largest ever year-on-year rise in incidents that resulted in an impact. Using CVE-2024-55591, an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting FortiOS and FortiProxy as a case study, we’ll explore analysis by Arctic wolf that monitored threat actors who used this weakness to gain super-admin access to Fortinet’s next-generation firewall. With this course, you’ll understand what this vulnerability means to you, what indicators of compromise to look for in your environment, and the steps you need to take to mitigate your organization’s exposure.
