Tidbits around Security for 2025!

The Five Eyes countries (United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States) have issued security guidance specifically for network edge devices.

These devices are often targeted because they lack regular firmware updates, strong authentication, and robust logging capabilities, making it difficult for security teams to detect and respond to breaches.

As a result, the agencies are urging manufacturers of these devices to improve forensic visibility and security capabilities to help defenders detect attacks and investigate breaches.

So what's next?

1. Scan your network devices for the most common vulnerabilities.

2. Make sure your devices have the latest firmware.

3. Check the configuration of your network devices using non-professional settings.

If you're curious about the rest of the statements, let's see with the CISA guide.
