🔐 Is Your "Secure" File Transfer Tool Really Secure? 🔐

If you’re depending on certifications alone to keep your data safe (spoiler: you shouldn’t be!), this episode is a must-watch.

In this Deep Dive, Lieuwe Jan Koning is joined by Threat Intel Specialist Luca Cipriano and CISO Tim Timmermans to explore a prevalent case study; the Accellion File Transfer Appliance hack.

Over 300 companies, including major players like Shell and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, relied upon this trusted secure file transfer solution. But when an attack hit its legacy version, these organizations found out the hard way that compliance doesn’t always equal security.

Donning the red team hat of a hacker, Luca walks us through all the steps the attackers took, whilst blue team representative Tim offers insights and an answer to the ever-pressing question: could this have been prevented and if so, what could (or should) have been done?
