SonicWall detected unauthorized access to its firewall backup files in early September, resulting from an API call from state-sponsored hackers. The company promptly activated its incident response plan and enlisted Mandiant for a detailed investigation. Their findings confirmed that the attack was isolated to backup files stored in a cloud environment and not connected to global Akira ransomware incidents.
SonicWall took proactive steps, maintaining clear communication with partners through Q&A sessions and offering support amid remediation efforts. Despite the breach, SonicWall assured that its core products, firmware, and customer networks were not affected. They have since implemented all recommended remediation actions and are enhancing their cloud infrastructure’s security.
In parallel, SonicWall continues to prioritize security excellence, with initiatives like the Secure by Design modernization program. The appointment of a new Chief Information Officer and ongoing investments in advanced security tools highlight its commitment to operational integrity and customer safety, amidst increasing threats from nation-state actors.
