Last May, Progress Software disclosed a major vulnerability in MOVEit FTP and MOVEit Cloud that led to unauthorized access to organizations’ database environments. Vulnerabilities in MOVEit allowed hackers unauthorized access to manipulate a database through a SQL injection, compromising the integrity of software and opening an organization up to a full-scale breach.
“Emergent’s business is largely focused on the Public Sector and we’ve seen how these security breaches affect not just the governing entity, but the communities they serve,” said Zeb Mellett, Emergent’s Vice President of Sales. “Just recently many organizations experienced this type of breach. Our goal is to educate audiences about the risks and provide open and proven enterprise solutions that can be used to protect their technology environments and the missions they serve moving forward.”
