Edge devices under emergency orders, email/MFT gateways pulled into KEV, and airspace disruption goes hybrid. Treat the next 7 days like a live-fire exercise.

In just a few days, U.S. agencies were ordered to hunt and isolate compromised Cisco gear, CISA expanded the Known Exploited list to include fresh enterprise targets, the UK saw sensitive childcare data lifted, and Denmark moved to ban civilian drones after multiple airport shutdowns.
The fight this week sits at the edge, the gateway, and the runway.
Trend (broad) | Likelihood | Impact | What to watch |
|---|---|---|---|
Edge device exploitation & persistence (Cisco/ASA/FTD) | 8 | 9 | Follow-through on emergency hunt/isolation guidance |
Email/MFT gateways targeted (Libraesva, GoAnywhere) | 7 | 8 | Rapid patch cadence; exposure on internet-facing admin |
Hybrid physical–cyber disruption (airports/airspace) | 6 | 8 | Drone flight bans; repeat closures and diversions |
KEV expansion drives patch priority | 7 | 7 | New entries compress remediation windows |
Targeted data theft in sensitive sectors (childcare/edu) | 6 | 7 | PII-rich orgs under pressure; reputational risk |
Emergency Directive ED-25-03 — CISA orders agencies to find, isolate, and remediate suspected compromise in Cisco ASA/Firepower devices.
CISA adds five Known Exploited Vulnerabilities — Libraesva ESG command injection and other actively exploited bugs enter KEV, raising patch urgency.
GoAnywhere CVE-2025-10035 exploitation observed — NHS notes in-the-wild activity and urges immediate updates/segmentation.
Denmark bans civilian drone flights — National curb follows multiple airport shutdowns from suspected hostile UAVs.
London nurseries breach exposes children’s data — Stolen PII from a childcare provider underscores “high-sensitivity” targets beyond finance/healthcare.

The edge is the entry: Emergency hunts on firewalls/VPNs signal attacker comfort with persistence below the OS/app layer.
Security tools are targets: Email/MFT gateways keep showing up in KEV and defensive gear becomes the beachhead when exposed.
Airspace disruption is a security problem: Drone bans to keep airports open = operational risk without a keyboard.
Sensitive PII breadth widens: Childcare data theft proves reputational blast radius beyond regulated industries.
Cisco/ASA/FTD: Inventory, segment, and follow ED-25-03 hunt/isolation steps; require written attestation by BU owners.
Libraesva/GoAnywhere: Patch on a 48–72 hr SLA; block public admin, rotate tokens, and review upload/attachment pipelines.
Airside resilience: Add drone/airspace disruption to your continuity playbook; test manual check-in/logistics fallbacks.
PII minimization: Tighten retention and DLP for child-related or otherwise high-sensitivity records; rehearse breach communications.
When KEV entries land the same week as an emergency directive, you get clarity: what to patch, where to hunt, and how fast to move.
That’s an advantage… use it!
Speed isn’t a process step; it’s a control. Treat hours as dollars.
