My TechDecisions Podcast, zero trust

On this episode of the My TechDecisions Podcast, we talk about the critical Log4j vulnerability with Ollie Whitehouse, chief technology officer at NCC Group.

A remote code execution vulnerability in the Java logger was discovered late last week, and it has consumed the tech news cycle and IT pro’s lives since. The list of impacted products continues to grow as vendors rush to patch software and push it out to enterprise customers.

Now, experts are calling this one of the worst software vulnerabilities ever as hackers attempt to leverage this vulnerability in astounding numbers.

Whitehouse offers advice to IT pros that are working around the clock to mitigate this vulnerability in their environment, including where to start patching, workload management and more.
