Chris Hickman, chief security officer at Keyfactor, a leading provider of secure digital identity management solutions, says: “These attacks are not about FireEye, SolarWinds or Mimecast; the disturbing trend we are seeing is that these breaches are becoming habitual. The threat actors behind the attacks, whether they are using the SolarWinds backdoor or another, are targeting certificates and credentials. They are leveraging cryptographic assets to gain network access and evade security controls.”
