Earlier this week I posted about the importance of patches (again) when it comes to cyber security:
However understanding your network components and endpoints and monitoring them is also very important as occasionally there is persistent malware that protects itself from security patches designed to eliminate it. Here is an example of malware that infects SonicWall devices, monitors for updates every 10 seconds, reinfecting these patches as they become available before they are deployed. It is not sophisticated but it works.
Do you know if you are relying on a SonicWall device to protect your network?
Do you know if the people who are responsible for your cyber security know about this attack?
