PAN-OS Firewall DoS Vulnerability (CVE-2024-3393) 🚨 A high vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS allows unauthenticated attackers to reboot firewalls using malicious DNS packets. https://lnkd.in/efhBCme3 Immediate Actions: - Update to the latest PAN-OS version. - If updating is not possible, disable DNS Security logging or apply provided workarounds specified in the article. #CyberSecurity #PaloAltoNetworks #Firewall #Vulnerability

Most manufacturing networks are built on VLANs, but they are a poor segmentation tool. https://lnkd.in/eTGt6y8R Routed networks, with clear Layer 3 segmentation, make it harder for attackers to spread and easier to manage security policies over time. Less complexity, better control. Attackers will get in. The goal is to stop them from going anywhere. #CyberSecurity #Manufacturing #Networking

🚧 IT/OT Integration: Balancing Connectivity, Security & Compliance 🚧 Connecting IT and OT unlocks efficiency, real-time insights, and remote monitoring in manufacturing—but it also introduces risks if not done securely. Phishing attacks and lateral movement can expose core operations, making network segmentation and enclave strategies critical. 🔒 How do you protect your Operation Technology (OT) while ensuring connectivity? Our latest blog breaks down best practices for isolating critical assets, implementing zero trust, and optimizing network performance in modern factories.
