GUEST RESEARCH: An abundance of successful cyberattacks in the final quarter of 2023 resulted from threat actors leveraging known and exploitable vuln.
Security firm Tenable has addressed an open letter to Microsoft complaining of a lack of transparency and irresponsible security practices. The letter claims that a flaw in Microsofts Azure platform was exposed in March 2021 but that Microsoft took three months to partially address the problem. This, the letter asserts, has exposed numerous customers to cyber threats and jeopardised the cloud providers shared responsibility model. The blog post has been endorsed by members of Tenables Research team, who discovered the vulnerability within Azure.
