What you'll learn

In this course, Security Hot Take: Mid-year Review 2024, we discuss observations which indicate that nation-state sponsored threat actors are moving away from traditional initial access vectors toward exploitation of zero-day and known vulnerabilities in public-facing appliances such as firewalls, enterprise virtual private networks (VPN), and mail server software. We’ll also arm you with some practical controls that you can begin implementing today to help mitigate these attacks and reduce their impact.
