Security Considerations for Edge Devices

Edge devices like VPN gateways, firewalls, and routers are the unsung heroes keeping our networks connected and protected. But as they bridge internal systems with the internet, they also open doors for cyber threats. Misconfigurations, outdated software, and default settings can make them prime targets for attackers, including state-sponsored actors. Staying ahead means diligent maintenance, vigilant monitoring, and embracing security practices that keep these devices—and the data they protect—safe from compromise.
