A highly sophisticated adversary group compromised SolarWinds to distribute an infected version of Orion software to more than 18,000 customers, including many large enterprises and government agencies. Attacks are able to leverage vulnerable versions of Orion to establish an initial foothold in impacted organizations to carry out future attacks, including data theft or business disruption. To help organizations safely navigate questions related to SolarWinds and other emerging threats, we are making Zscaler’s expertise and resources available to those in need.
