With the Christmas and New Year Holidays it has been a while since we have caught up with the cyber security notices from The US government Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
The CISA site is one of the “go to places” for me and my team to keep up with vulnerabilities in our client’s software. Although aimed at the US Government and US users it is still really useful.
Cisco Releases Security Advisory for Cisco Unity Connection | CISA
Ivanti Releases Security Update for Connect Secure and Policy Secure Gateways | CISA
There was of course Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday
Microsoft Releases Security Updates for Multiple Products | CISA
Fortinet Releases Security Updates for FortiOS and FortiProxy | CISA
Juniper Releases Security Advisory for Juniper Secure Analytics | CISA
The CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog is also a good source of information on vulnerabilities that are actually being exploited, with links to mitigation:

CISA also releases industrial control system advisories – if you are responsible for these types of systems you should monitor their news page:
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.
