Daily Cyber News: Active attacks put Cisco identity and firewall controls at risk

Cisco says weaknesses affecting core network trust controls are already being exploited. Its September hardening releases cover multiple issues across Secure Firewall products, Firewall Management Center, Identity Services Engine and related components. Cisco says two firewall-management issues and one Identity Services Engine authentication-bypass issue are known to be actively exploited.

Key context: The business risk is broader than a single appliance.

Additional detail: Leaders should treat this as an emergency change with clear ownership and planning for any service impact.
