With attacks on the critical firewall vulnerability, WatchGuard joins a list of edge device vendors whose products have been targeted in recent weeks.
In cybersecurity, this vulnerability highlights the need for AI-powered threat detection systems to be more robust and adaptable to compromised network environments. It also creates an opportunity for AI to be used in novel ways to identify and neutralize zero-day exploits.
Businesses need to adopt AI-based security information and event management (SIEM) and security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platforms to automate threat analysis and incident response, particularly for zero-day exploits. This will require investment in AI training for security teams and integration with existing security infrastructure to improve resilience against advanced attacks.
