Episode 12: Why hackers are now targeting VPNs and routers
Enterprise security is under siege, but not where you might expect.
In this episode of Global Tech Tales, host Keith Shaw and co-host Matt Egan explore a critical shift in the cybersecurity landscape: a surge in zero-day attacks targeting edge devices like VPN gateways, firewalls, routers, and other embedded infrastructure. Lucian Constantin, Senior Writer at CSO Online, joins the show to speak with Daniel dos Santos, Head of Security Research at Forescout Technologies. They examine why attackers are moving beyond endpoints and exploiting overlooked areas of the enterprise network.
This episode covers:
* The growing focus on edge infrastructure by state-sponsored and financially motivated threat actors
* Why legacy code, patch delays, and low visibility make these devices attractive targets
* The rise of zero-day vulnerabilities and what makes them so dangerous
* Practical steps organizations can take to reduce risk and harden remote infrastructure
This episode is sponsored by Commvault.
Bonus episode coming soon with additional footage from the interview with Daniel dos Santos.
