Threat Update 31 – Now are the Zero Days of our Discontent

Have you ever wanted to get into a concert, or movie, but you couldn’t get a ticket? Probably not recently, but in this remote age, we’ve all experienced something similar if we’ve forgotten a password. What’s even more frustrating – for attackers, at least – is not having your password at all.

Unfortunately, three new Zero Day vulnerabilities recently discovered in F5 products and Microsoft Office 365 let attackers skip the password and authentication completely. Join Kilian, Ryan O’Boyle, and Kyle Roth from the Varonis Incident Response Team live as they discuss these new vulnerabilities, what they can mean to organizations if they go unpatched, and how attackers leverage them to become “insiders.”
