In an effort to help managed service providers (MSPs) mitigate the Log4j vulnerability, Datto has released a free tool. The Endpoint Assessment Tool can enumerate vulnerable systems, detect intrusion attempts, and protect Windows systems against attacks.
“During this critical time, I am pleased to see there has been some great information sharing and that we are really coming together as a community,” said Ryan Weeks, chief information security officer at Datto. “However, the Log4j response is going to require diligence for weeks to come as more vulnerabilities are released, as nuances in the mitigations are understood, and as exploits evolve.”
