ColdRecon assessment

Could a positive-security control have prevented this?

Verdict · no · opinion

The attack exploited a zero-day vulnerability in the MOVEit Transfer software, a third-party managed file transfer solution, not an endpoint. A positive-security model on endpoints would not have prevented this supply chain attack.

Our assessments are opinion, grounded in the cited public facts. Read them critically.
