The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) has launched a series of publications to address growing cyber risks associated with edge devices. These devices, positioned at the boundary between internal networks and the public internet, are vital for managing data traffic and enforcing security policies. Edge devices are attractive targets for malicious actors, making them a key vulnerability if left unsecured.
The ACSC’s publications offer comprehensive guidance tailored to different organizational roles, aiming to help enterprises secure critical edge devices and protect their networks. The series includes strategic insights, best practices, and technical guides for mitigating risks related to edge devices. Implementing strong authentication protocols and keeping device firmware and software up-to-date are critical measures for securing edge devices.
