Editorial Perspective
This 48-hour window shows how quickly third-party and ERP ecosystems can turn into mass-extortion vectors, with Oracle E-Business Suite exploitation and Discord’s vendor breach dominating headlines.
For DFIR leaders, the priority is tightening vendor risk controls around identity/age verification and accelerating KEV-driven patching, especially for business-critical platforms exposed to the Internet.
Compliance teams should log KEV remediations as auditable evidence and use ENISA’s landscape to steer tabletop exercises aligned to current ransomware and data-theft tactics.
