Implications of the SolarWinds hack

The headlines were everywhere. Hackers infiltrated the U.S.
government and some private firms by exploiting vulnerabilities
in SolarWinds' network management software. More than 250
networks were pierced and it's believed that Russia's S.V.R.
intelligence service is behind the attack. Other vendors like
Microsoft and FireEye also say they were breached in the
attack. 


For IT pros that are accountable for security and returning from
the holidays wondering what this means for them, today we will
recap the news and explore some practical steps to take to ensure
vendors aren't creating security problems. Joining me to help me
with that is Howard Solomon, a cyber security reporter that is a
main contributor to ITWorldCanada.com. We also have an analyst
from Info-Tech's cyber security team. Jimmy Tom.
