HOUSTON – The Action1 Corporation, a provider of a risk-based patch management platform has launched a free tool designed to empower IT teams in detecting compromised MOVEit instances and defending against ransomware attacks exploiting this vulnerability.
Security Systems News briefly covered the initial effects of the MOVEit data breach which have continued to grow in scale and the number of victims. In order to help organizations mitigate the threat of MOVEit vulnerability, Action1 has released the following capabilities, which they said are free for the first 100 endpoints:
- Built-in instant "MOVEit Vulnerability Status" report. Check all endpoints for compromised instances of MOVEit Secure Managed File Transfer with exploited CVE-2023-34362 vulnerability.
- Software inventory. Gain visibility into all vulnerable instances of MOVEit within your network.
- Automated scripting and patching capabilities. Once compromised servers have been detected, users can run automated scripts to remove the compromised file from all affected servers and install the necessary patch, simplifying the process and saving time.
"What is particularly concerning is that 2,500 vulnerable MOVEit Transfer instances are exposed to the Internet, according to researchers. As a result, we might anticipate an increasing number of companies falling victim to ransomware attacks," warns Mike Walters, VP of Vulnerability and Threat Research and co-founder of Action1.
