Major cybersecurity events in the last week make clear that hackers just keep getting savvier — and security teams need to be vigilant to keep up. Unpatched devices can give attackers privileged access to networks, particularly those set up as VPN virtual servers, ICA proxies, RDP proxies, or AAA servers.
