Critical vulnerability in Check Point VPN reinforces the importance of stealth technologies and proactive cyber intelligence.

The recent discovery of the CVE-2024-24919 vulnerability in Check Point VPN devices, which allows password theft and unauthorized access to the corporate network, has once again brought to light a growing problem in the cybersecurity landscape: the exploitation of critical flaws even before they are publicly announced.

According to reports, the vulnerability was already being actively exploited by hacker groups before Check Point issued any official advisory or security update.

In this context, traditional defenses — such as firewalls and patching cycles — become insufficient to contain increasingly fast-moving and sophisticated threats.

This is where solutions like NetSensor’s come into their own:

• NetSensor Magic creates a layer of digital invisibility at the network edge, capable of blocking malicious traffic in real time, even in cases of Zero Day and unknown exploits.

• HackNet, NetSensor's global intelligence network, present in more than 20 countries, continuously monitors hacker campaigns and malicious sources, feeding network sensors with updated information for proactive defense.

• AppSensor extends this protection to corporate applications and APIs, offering detection and blocking mechanisms against attacks such as brute force targeting VPNs, firewalls and authentication systems.

“Attacks like the one observed in CVE-2024-24919 show that organizations’ response times need to be measured in seconds—not days or weeks,” said NetSensor’s technical team.

“Invisibility and global intelligence technologies provide a critical layer to reduce the attack surface and prevent intrusions before they impact the business.”
