The latest edition of the ISMG Security Report features an analysis of how hackers exploited a misconfigured VPN device to gain access to Viasat's satellite network and cause a massive outage in Europe as Russia's invasion of Ukraine began. It also examines the invasion's impact on financial services and how to modernize security operations.
