The Devices That Guard Your Workplace Network Are the Ones Under Attack
The equipment your employer uses to let people log in securely from home is, right now, one of the most actively attacked pieces of technology on the internet. Citrix has disclosed eight new vulnerabilities in its NetScaler ADC and Gateway products, and the US government's cyber agency, CISA, confirms attackers are already exploiting two of them — critical zero-days that let intruders run their own code on these systems remotely, no password required.
Bottom Line
THE BOTTOM LINE: Eight fresh vulnerabilities in widely deployed Citrix gateway devices — two already under confirmed active exploitation as zero-days — mean attackers had a head start on thousands of organizations' front doors. This isn't a blip; it's the continuation of a multi-year trend where the perimeter security devices themselves are the battlefield. Organizations that patch in days will be fine. Those that patch in weeks may already be compromised.
