The Citrix Security Crisis Exposed a Bigger Problem

Citrix was facing a major security crisis before its official warning even went out.

Companies were already pulling critical network devices offline as attackers exploited serious vulnerabilities in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway systems.

In this ShipTalk clip, Adam, Martin, and Starr break down the Citrix zero-day vulnerabilities, the race to respond, and the impossible decision facing security teams: keep potentially compromised infrastructure running or rush to deploy a patch.

They also discuss a bigger problem in cybersecurity: what happens when attackers can exploit vulnerabilities faster than organizations can detect and respond to them?

In this clip:

Why companies took Citrix devices offline
