Episode notes
Urgent Fortinet Patch And Audit
- Patch Fortinet devices immediately and audit for unexpected local admin accounts after the FortiCloud SSO flaw.
- Disable or monitor single-sign-on integrations until you confirm devices and accounts are clean.
Test Your Mass-Boot Recovery Plan
- Prepare a recovery plan for mass Windows boot failures and test drive restorations regularly.
- Measure actual restore time per device so you can estimate staff and timeline for large-scale reimaging.
Quarantine And Patch Archive Tools
- Quarantine compressed archives and ensure WinRAR is updated to patched versions.
- Block or inspect archives that can use path traversal to drop files into startup folders.
