Cytracom Security Summary: Ivanti VPN Exploit

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) published a bulletin about threat actors actively exploiting a combination of vulnerabilities in Ivanti Connect Secure and Ivanti Policy Secure VPN gateways. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to bypass authentication, execute arbitrary commands, and write files to the system.

Organizations using Ivanti VPN appliances should take immediate action to apply patches and follow CISA's recommended mitigation steps. For MSPs managing multiple client environments, the complexity of tracking and remediating these vulnerabilities across numerous Ivanti deployments can be overwhelming.

ControlOne addresses these challenges by providing unified security management and reducing reliance on vulnerable legacy VPN infrastructure. The following table summarizes how ControlOne capabilities align with CISA recommendations:

| CISA Recommendations | Key Challenge | ControlOne Capability | |----------------------|---------------|------------------------| | Apply vendor patches immediately | Patching lag across distributed environments | Centralized policy enforcement and automated compliance monitoring | | Assume compromise and hunt for indicators | Limited visibility across client networks | Unified threat management with enriched event attribution and actionable intelligence | | Isolate affected systems from the network | Complex network segmentation with legacy VPN | Software-defined perimeter and Zero Trust Network Access |

ControlOne's Zero Trust approach eliminates the VPN attack surface that threat actors are exploiting. By replacing traditional VPN gateways with a software-defined perimeter, MSPs can reduce exposure to similar vulnerabilities while maintaining secure remote access for their clients.
