SolarWinds

Be prepared for nasty weather

By Orange Cyberdefense

SolarWinds did not come out of the blue and should not be regarded as such. It's the inevitable consequence of a powerful set of systemic factors that collectively produce a climate that is inherently volatile but can still be predicted, as thoroughly discussed in the latest research paper from Orange Cyberdefense: Winds of Change, Underlying causes and implications of the SolarWinds attack.

When faced with the inevitable, embrace a new way of thinking

All businesses are inescapable targets or have already been victims of supply-chain attacks, and what happened with SolarWinds is not just a random incident on the web.

We need to recognize that the security landscape is deeply fluid and dynamic, reshaping itself rapidly and continuously, and position ourselves to perceive and respond to it appropriately. This is why it’s crucial for a new way of thinking, moving away from naïve, rule-based security practices and towards an agile, intelligence-based approach.

In this webcast, Charl van der Walt, Head of Security Research, and Nicolas Arpagian, Director of Strategy & Public Affairs explain the causes and implications of this highly-sophisticated attack and discuss how we should respond.
