Security Hot Takes: Mid-year Review 2024
This course examines recent trends which suggest nation-state sponsored threat actors are increasingly targeting network edge devices.
What you'll learn
In this course, Security Hot Take: Mid-year Review 2024, we discuss observations which indicate that nation-state sponsored threat actors are moving away from traditional initial access vectors toward exploitation of zero-day and known vulnerabilities in public-facing appliances such as firewalls, enterprise virtual private networks (VPN), and mail server software. We’ll also arm you with some practical controls that you can begin implementing today to help mitigate these attacks and reduce their impact.
