The Log4j vulnerability in December 2021 caused a major stir in cybersecurity. ASCEND reacted immediately and examined and secured all hardware and software systems - also for customers.
In December 2021, a vulnerability rated as extremely critical was discovered in the widely used Java library Log4j. It allows cyber criminals to easily access a targeted server to run malware or take control of the system. ASCEND reacted immediately and checked all systems for this gap.
Patches have closed Log4j gaps
"Our hardware manufacturers and software partners closed the few gaps that were discovered very quickly," explains Johannes Fickeis, Managing Director of ASCEND GmbH.
