Unit 42 Vulnerability Research January 2018 Disclosures - Microsoft
Summary: Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researchers discovered one vulnerability that Microsoft addressed in its January 2018 security update release through the Microsoft Security Response Center. The post states that Palo Alto Networks customers deploying its Next-Generation Security Platform are protected from such zero-day vulnerabilities, with Traps preventing weaponized exploits and threat prevention capabilities including application control, IPS, and WildFire providing automatic updates against previously unknown threats.
What you should know: The disclosure covers a single Microsoft vulnerability patched in January 2018, and the protections described are tied to Palo Alto Networks' own products, so organizations running other stacks get no coverage detail here beyond the vendor's claim about its customers.
