Palo Alto Networks CEO: The Cyber Panic Is Just Getting Started @Jason: “There's a cyber panic. What's going on? Is this an acute issue or is this a harbinger of things to come? And is this going to happen every 10 days?” @nikesharora: “Jason, I think 10 days is too long. I think these things are going to happen much faster than every 10 days. I think part of the challenge we're seeing is we've been talking about technology debt that we all have to pay sooner than later. And what's happened is people have not paid attention to the idea that they have to go fix their stuff. We found out about this a few days ago. We've scanned everything in our infrastructure to make sure that there were no issues. We made sure that our products had patches available for our customers who deploy them. So there's two ways to solve this problem, right? One, you can go in and patch the vulnerability. You can go in, find the code, patch what has been given to you by PHP, and make it work. The other is you can actually put it in a perimeter defense product like ours, or Cloudflare has one, or other firewalls have one. If you put the patch there, it's a virtual patch, so any attacker trying to access that vulnerability gets stopped at the perimeter because we know what they're looking for. Guess what? The phones keep ringing every day, and the conversation always is, ‘Now how do I get out of this? Because I'm tired of getting punched in the face every morning when I wake up.’”
