Fireeye has linked cyberattacks to hackers that are believed to be based in China.
Under a constant threat
Ivanti responds by first releasing the Pulse Connect Secure Integrity Tool to allow users to check whether the hackers have modified any files on their pulse safe equipment.
They followed him now by patching a vulnerability at all with the help of Cisa, Fireeye and other cyber security experts.
“The pulse team takes quick action to provide direct mitigation to the number of affected customers who apply for risks to their system, and we are happy to provide security patches in a brief order to overcome vulnerabilities,” said Phil Richards, Head of Information Security Officer at Ivanti ,
Given the attack, Richards added that the company made “significant investment” to increase their overall cyber security posture, including the broader implementation of safe application development standards.
