Attackers are targeting admin accounts, and once authenticated, exporting device configurations including hashed credentials and other sensitive information.
The cybersecurity sector faces increased pressure to innovate and develop more resilient security solutions. AI-powered threat detection and response will become a key differentiator for cybersecurity vendors, leading to increased competition and consolidation in the market.
Organizations need to implement AI-powered Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) solutions to automate threat detection and response to vulnerabilities like this. This includes automating patching processes and developing AI models to detect configuration tampering.
