What to do
AI-suggested
European organizations should immediately verify their Poly Clariti Manager version and upgrade to version 10.12.1 or later where the vulnerability is patched. Beyond patching, organizations should audit their network architecture to ensure that management interfaces like Poly Clariti Manager are not exposed to untrusted or adjacent networks unnecessarily. Implement strict network segmentation and access controls limiting access to the management interface only to authorized personnel and systems. Enforce strong password policies and disable or change any default credentials. Regularly review and rotate credentials used by management systems. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) where possible to add an additional layer of security. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual access patterns or attempts to retrieve default credentials. Conduct periodic security assessments and vulnerability scans focusing on management platforms. Finally, maintain an up-to-date inventory of all communication management systems to ensure timely patch management and risk assessment.
Description
