CISO Series: Senator Demands Action from CISA, Cisco Vulnerable to Velvet Ant Exploits, Europol Takes Down Cobalt Threat



In recent cybersecurity news, a senator has been putting pressure on the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to step up their efforts in protecting critical infrastructure. The senator’s actions come as a response to growing concerns over cyber threats to essential services and systems.

Meanwhile, a new cyber threat has emerged in the form of the Velvet Ant exploit targeting Cisco systems. The exploit has been causing headaches for security experts as they work to identify and counter the threat to prevent further damage.

On a more positive note, Europol has made significant progress in tackling cybercrime by dismantling the notorious Cobalt gang. The gang, known for carrying out sophisticated cyber attacks on financial institutions, has been a major concern for law enforcement agencies worldwide.

These developments highlight the ongoing challenges in the field of cybersecurity and the need for continued vigilance to stay ahead of cyber threats. With cyber attacks becoming more advanced and frequent, it is crucial for organizations and government agencies to work together to enhance cybersecurity measures and protect critical systems and data.
