0:52Now PlayingThe U.S. Department of Homeland Security has determined that flaws in Ivanti Inc.’s products may have allowed hackers to breach at least five federal agencies.
The Department’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, known as CISA, has been working with organizations targeted through vulnerabilities in Ivanti’s Pulse Connect Secure products and required federal civilian agencies to run a tool designed to find them.
“CISA is aware of at least five federal civilian agencies who have run the Pulse Connect Secure Integrity Tool and identified indications of potential unauthorized access,” Matt Hartman, a deputy executive assistant director at CISA, said Thursday in a statement. “We are working with each agency to validate whether an intrusion has occurred and will offer incident response support accordingly.”
Hartman didn’t identify the agencies. Reuters previously reported the suspected breaches in federal agencies.
Hartman’s statement comes a week after CISA released an Emergency Directive requiring agencies using Pulse Connect Secure virtual private networks and other products to take steps to find and mitigate possible breaches. It also comes after another major cyber-attack on the digital supply chain in which Russian hackers inserted malicious code in software updates for Texas-based SolarWinds Corp.
Nine U.S. agencies and at least 100 companies were breached by the Russian hackers in that attack, which was made public in December.
