Chinese RAT-attack and your edge devices: how vulnerable are you really?
Chinese RAT-attack and your edge devices: how vulnerable are you really?
The attack on the Dutch Ministry of Defense began at a Fortigate. Why that should be your concern too.
The MIVD warned of Chinese malware via edge devices. Think your firewall is safe? This attack shows you could be wrong.
Recognize the problem
Edge devices such as firewalls and VPN servers are often:
directly connected to the internet
not fully monitored
insufficiently patched
Vulnerabilities such as CVE-2022-42475 are widely exploited to install Remote Access Trojans (RATs).
The solution: NodeZero with RAT threat detection
NodeZero simulates exactly this type of attack:
Detects vulnerable edge devices
Performs realistic post-exploit RAT-deployments
Assesses impact with MITRE ATT&CK methods.

shows a detection example of RAT-activity.
What you’re missing without NodeZero
Real-life simulation of advanced attacks
Post-exploit visibility
Understanding lateral movements within your network
What you gain with NodeZero
