Issue Overview and Impact

CVE-2024-24919 is a critical information disclosure vulnerability in Check Point Security Gateways which have remote access VPN or mobile access software enabled.

With more and more businesses embracing digital transformation, the importance of data security, particularly in online transactions, has never been greater. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) stands as a benchmark for securing payment card data. Compliance with PCI DSS is mandatory for all businesses handling card payments, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of cardholder data.

With new vulnerabilities being discovered every day the issue of vulnerability management has never been more important. Cyber threats are evolving at a rapid pace, often leaving cyber security researchers struggling to keep up. To avoid the worst case scenarios businesses must understand how to identify, prioritise, and mitigate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by adversaries. This is where vulnerability management comes in, but how can it be used effectively?

The demand for cyber security professionals far outweighs supply with the latest data highlighting that there’s currently 3.5 million unfilled cyber security jobs around the world.
