Data is being generated at unprecedented rates and from diverse sources, making effective backup solutions critical to maintaining data integrity and availability. The systems producing all that data are substantially different from the ones that traditional backup and recovery solutions were designed to protect. The high volume of data is coming from the cloud and from the edge, necessitating new architectures for protecting, backing up, and recovering the data.

Attend this webinar to learn about the new generation of backup solutions designed with cloud, cloud-native, and edge cases in mind.

From Edge to Cloud: How Backup Solutions are Evolving

We have all heard this story before - a critical vulnerability is discovered in a VPN server. It's exploited in the wild. Administrators rush to patch. Panic spreads across Twitter. 

Attackers have long sought to exploit VPN servers - they are accessible from the internet, expose a rich attack surface, and often lack in security and monitoring. Historically, VPNs were primarily abused to achieve a single objective: gaining entry into internal victim networks. While this is evidently very valuable, control over a VPN server shouldn't solely be seen as a gateway to the network, and can certainly be abused in various other ways.

In this talk, we will explore VPN post-exploitation - a new approach that consists of different techniques attackers can employ on the compromised VPN server to further progress their intrusion. To demonstrate this concept, we will inspect two of the most common VPN servers on the market - Ivanti Connect Secure and Fortigate, and show how an attacker with control over them can collect user credentials, move laterally, and maintain persistent access to the network.

We will conclude by detailing best practices and principles that should be followed by security teams when using VPN servers to reduce the risk from post-exploitation techniques.

During the session, you will:
- Explore critical vulnerabilities and real-world exploits on popular VPN platforms.
- Discover post-exploitation tactics for credential collection, lateral movement, and persistent access.
- Learn best practices to enhance VPN security and reduce advanced threat risks.
