Preparing for the next threat

NDR / By Justin Jett

It’s safe to say organizations have had their fair share of cyber attacks this past year—from threats discovered early last year with VMware (CVE-2021-21985 and CVE-2021-21972), which provided access to compromised environments and sensitive data, to the Apache Log4j vulnerability, which sent IT professionals scrambling to patch every system that might have a vulnerable release installed. These incidents don’t even …
