""Salt Typhoon symbolizes a beginning," noted Jennifer Ewbank, former CIA deputy director for digital innovation."
""Routers are the soft underbelly and connective tissue exploited by our adversaries.""
""We know what new risks look like... The time to act is now.""
October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month with heightened urgency because global advisories signal a new phase of cyber warfare. State-backed campaigns such as Salt Typhoon operate patiently and persistently across infrastructure in more than 80 countries, demonstrating technical sophistication and long-term intent. Attackers exploit overlooked assets like routers for access, persistence, movement, collection, and exfiltration, and often reuse old vulnerabilities such as a seven-year-old Cisco CVE. Detection and response alone are insufficient. Organizations must shift to resilience by preparing to withstand attacks, recover quickly, and continue operating confidently. Emerging resiliency-first strategies include measures like network segmentation to limit lateral movement.
