Lat week it was Barracuda this week it is Fortinet VPNs:
Fortinet fixes critical RCE flaw in Fortigate SSL-VPN devices, patch now (bleepingcomputer.com)
By now you should have realised that network hardware has to be on your cyber security to do list.
A note on VPNs
I am away this week – studying up on Security Operations Centre management and deployment – in the sunshine in Devon (OK so it will not be all work). That means it is time to use the VPN again – read about that here.

My advice: Either you or your IT support need to check whether these issues impact your systems. You need to have a master document that details your systems, hardware, software, online, networks, back-ups, suppliers etc – so when cyber security (or operational) issues arise you and your support teams can quickly check if you are affected. From there you can take fast, effective action.
Please Note:
I am on leave so the news this week is “in brief”. You can still contact me via the contact page and Octagon Technology.
