In today’s Information Age, where cyber threats loom large, safeguarding your network infrastructure is paramount. Among the leading cybersecurity providers, Fortinet stands out, offering a suite of robust security solutions ranging from firewalls to endpoint protection. However, even the most fortified defenses can be vulnerable to exploitation, as evidenced by recent vulnerabilities discovered within Fortinet’s SSL VPN service.
Ridge Security, a dedicated team of cybersecurity experts, has identified and prioritized these vulnerabilities, recognizing the potential risks they pose to over 730,000 customers worldwide. Among the critical vulnerabilities are CVE-2018-13379, CVE-2024-21762, CVE-2020-12812, CVE-2018-13382, CVE-2022-40684, and CVE-2023-27997, each presenting a unique threat vector ranging from unauthorized access to system manipulation.
To address these vulnerabilities, Ridge Security has deployed RidgeBot, a cutting-edge scanning platform designed to detect and analyze potential threats within Fortinet’s SSL VPN infrastructure.
