Cybersecurity agencies from the Five Eyes alliance, including the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the U.S., have jointly released new guidance aimed at enhancing the security of network edge devices. The advisory urges manufacturers of these devices and appliances to improve forensic visibility, thereby empowering defenders to more effectively detect and investigate cyberattacks and data breaches. Network edge devices, such as firewalls, routers, VPN gateways, internet-facing servers, and IoT devices, are frequently targeted by both state-sponsored and financially motivated threat actors.

Such devices are often targeted to infiltrate critical infrastructure networks and systems. By improving forensic visibility, organizations can achieve quicker detection and response to security incidents, mitigating potential damage and downtime. The guidance is intended for both device manufacturers and critical infrastructure owners and operators. Additional resources and detailed information can be found on the websites of the participating cyber agencies, including those of Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US.
