The company said it was designed to offer better enterprise security, cloud deployments, and centralized networks. But despite the warnings, it appears APT groups are still able to leverage the vulnerabilities.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\"> <\/section>\n<p>In a statement to <em>ZDNet<\/em>, Fortinet said &#8220;CVE-2018-13379 is an old vulnerability resolved in May 2019&#8221; that the company immediately issued a PSIRT advisory for. The company said it also &#8220;communicated directly with customers and via corporate blog posts on multiple occasions in August 2019, July 2020, and again in April 2021 strongly recommending an upgrade.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Also resolved in 2019, CVE-2019-5591 is an older vulnerability as well as CVE-2020-12812 , which was resolved in July 2020. If customers have not done so, we urge them to immediately implement the upgrade and mitigations,&#8221; the company added.<\/p>\n<p>Sean Nikkel, senior cyber threat intel analyst at Digital Shadows, noted that all of the vulnerabilities listed in the notice are at least one year old, spotlighting the need for government institutions to improve patch management.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s good to get a reminder because it&#8217;s not just Fortinet threat actors are targeting. Using least privilege principles, performing regular updates and patching, using network segmentation, using backups, and strengthening login processes all go a long way to securing the estate,&#8221; Nikkel said. &#8220;It&#8217;s safe to say most criminal groups and APTs are counting on enterprises not being great at doing all of these things, and their continued success only highlights that fact.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
