Versa Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution designed to protect organizations from sophisticated threats across various vectors. Versa’s ATP detection reports are mapped directly to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, providing security teams a fingerprint of attacks, which can then be used for attribution to known adversaries, incident response, simulation attacks, and other security measures.
Understanding the cyber attack surface Historically, the “attack surface” was limited to well-known points of external exposure—the traditional perimeter of websites, external IP addresses, and endpoints. Our cyber attack surface has expanded dramatically over the past five years, now encompassing our cloud estate, millions of devices at the edge, and mobile and remote workers, in addition to our internet-facing infrastructure. This expansion of the definition to include cloud, end-user, and internal assets has been driven by the increasing sophistication of cyber attacks. The table below breaks down today’s complex attack surface into several categories, based on a framework presented by…
Versa DEM provides IT teams with unparalleled visibility across devices, networks, and applications, regardless of where users are located. It allows IT to see and analyze performance metrics for each network segment, enabling them to pinpoint issues quickly and accurately.
Versa Networks, in partnership with Microsoft Azure, has released an enhancement to the Versa Operating System (VOS) Network Virtual Appliance (NVA) deployed in Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN (vWAN). The changes to the existing offering are as follows: VOS is Versa’s multi-tenant, multi-service operating system and the integration extends the power of SASE, SSE, SD-WAN, and software-defined routing into the Microsoft Azure cloud. The VOS NVA, offered through the Azure Marketplace, is the same cloud-native Versa software deployed by over tens of thousands of enterprises worldwide. Using Versa, enterprises benefit from rich functionality to securely connect users to the applications on Microsoft…
A medium-severity vulnerability was discovered in Versa Director (CVE-2024-39717), and a patch has been released. Impacted customers failed to implement system hardening and firewall guidelines, leaving a management port exposed on the internet.
Today, CrowdStrike reported a significant outage affecting multiple services, including their Falcon platform. The CrowdStrike team is actively working to resolve the issue and restore full functionality.

In today’s hyper-connected digital landscape, enterprises need to have a robust and cost-effective Security Service Edge (SSE) solution to combat increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and to support digital transformation.
The sophistication and frequency of threats necessitate a dynamic and intelligent approach to cyber defense. Artificial Intelligence (AI) combined with Secure Service Edge (SSE) is a pivotal element in this defense strategy, especially within the context of a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) framework. In this blog, we will explore how Versa Networks leverages these powerful tools to provide advanced data protection and maintain a robust security posture in the face of such evolving threats. Introduction to the Evolving Threat Landscape and the Role of AI and SSE in Data Protection Traditional security measures struggle to keep up with this…
Versa GenAI Firewall safeguards sensitive data from being uploaded into Generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) while limiting shadow use cases of GenAI. It manages, monitors, and reports how your organization uses GenAI – including assessments on the riskiness of apps, controlling access, and preventing unauthorized data movement. Securing Generative AI Applications: Beyond LLMs While ensuring security for large language models (LLMs) is necessary to facilitate the adoption of GenAI applications within organizations, it is equally crucial to address broader concerns related to generative AI. Let’s delve into additional considerations: User-to-Application Access Control: Context: Generative AI tools are often accessed by…
