National Cyber Directorate: Immediately update Check Point software
The National Cyber Directorate calls on Israeli organizations to immediately install the latest updates for products make by the Check Point cybersecurity giant.
“A serious security weakness (a flaw in the technology that allows cyber attacks to be carried out through it) that was recently discovered in the remote connection technology (VPN) made by Check Point exposes organizations that use the product to attacks,” the directorate says in a statement.
“According to information received by the directorate, the weakness is already being used around the world to carry out cyberattacks and the fear is that organizations in Israel that have not implemented the latest security update for the product will also be attacked very soon,” the statement reads.
