- Fortinet FortiWeb had a high-severity relative path traversal exploited in the wild allowing remote admin command execution.
- Patch or block HTTP/HTTPS access until you update to fixed versions (8.02 or patched 7.x releases).
Palo Alto Buys Observability For AI
- Palo Alto Networks announced a $3.35B acquisition of Chronosphere to combine observability for massive AI clusters with its Agentix agents.
- The move targets autonomous remediation by linking petabytes of telemetry to automated root-cause and fix workflows.
Manual Router Deployments Gone Wrong
- Ethan recounted manual pre-automation router config rollouts that often failed due to human error like bad pastes.
- He said automation and shareable execution environments from Itential removed many of those failure modes.
