Ivanti CEO Jeff Abbott shared in an open letter how the company will protect itself from the ongoing vulnerabilities.
The flood of new Ivanti vulnerabilities has continued to come in recent months, but the company promised a new era in which it will “fundamentally transform Ivanti’s security business model.” Based on a clearly defined playbook, CEO Jeff Abbott explains in a YouTube video how Ivanti will deliver on this promise.
Promise
Ivanti CEO Jeff Abbott announced in an open letter what actions the company will take to deliver on the promise of a “new era.” In the YouTube video, Abbott says Ivanti will make “significant financial investments” to make all products secure by design. In addition, he also points out the importance of partnerships with cyber defense authorities and the company wants to share information with customers to learn together.
Vulnerability after vulnerability
This promise comes after a number of vulnerabilities continued to mount. An update was recently released for a critical vulnerability in Standalon Sentry reported by the NATO Cyber Security Center. Shortly before, a critical Connect Secure VPN leak came to light after multiple zero-days were previously exploited, and the list goes on.
Ivanti produces VPN products at scale and for many organizations, making it a prime target for threat actors. They have been under pressure in recent months, but hope to turn the tide with these promises.
