Edge devices are often a black box: limited transparency, minimal monitoring, and when compromised, they offer a direct stepping stone into your internal network. Precisely because signs of an attack are barely noticeable, breaches are often detected too late. And every time a new zero-day vulnerability emerges, swift and targeted investigation is essential—but in practice, that proves to be a challenge.
In this talk, the NCSC shares practical advice and insights on edge devices, based on lessons learned from real-world incidents. Without visibility and understanding, these devices remain a blind spot in your security posture. Through collaboration and follow-up research, we—as the Netherlands’ cyber community—can respond quickly and effectively, learn from incidents, and prevent future attacks.
