CISA has issued an urgent directive requiring US federal agencies to patch actively exploited Fortinet FortiSandbox vulnerabilities by Sunday. The flaws are being actively exploited in the wild and pose immediate risk to government systems.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you sell to US federal agencies or use Fortinet FortiSandbox in your stack, your customer's (or your own) systems are under active attack this week. The patching deadline is a hard enforcement event - missed patches trigger compliance failures and audit findings.
