VPN & Remote Access Under Siege: What Las Vegas Businesses Must Patch Right Now<\/h2>\n

Five major vendors shipped critical, CVSS 9.8-10.0 patches in a single September 2026 stretch — and at least two flaws were exploited before a fix even existed.<\/p>\n

One Month, Five Critical Vendor Patches<\/h2>\n

If your business relies on a VPN, a remote-access gateway, or a remote monitoring tool to keep employees connected, September 2026 was not a quiet month. Within roughly three weeks, five separate vendors that sit at the edge of countless business networks — Citrix, SonicWall, Check Point, N-able, and GitLab<\/strong> — each disclosed and patched vulnerabilities rated at or near the maximum possible severity score of 10.0.<\/p>\n

That is not a coincidence worth shrugging off. These products all share one job: granting broad, trusted access into a network from the outside. Citrix NetScaler and Check Point Quantum gateways route VPN traffic. SonicWall SMA 1000 devices are purpose-built remote-access appliances. N-able N-central is remote monitoring and management (RMM) software that IT providers use to control client networks. When a flaw in any of these lets an attacker in without a password<\/strong>, the device that was supposed to be your front door lock becomes the attacker’s front door.<\/p>\n

\nBy The Numbers<\/span>
\nFive vendors. Three weeks. At least two flaws — SonicWall’s SMA 1000 pair and a chained N-central exploit — were reportedly used by attackers before a patch was publicly available. CISA added the Citrix NetScaler flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog after confirming active exploitation in the wild.<\/em>\n<\/div>\n
