We contacted several SolarWinds competitors who all claimed to have superior defenses and containment for such attacks, Our experts, however, insisted there is no defense against a single human providing an open target and none of the competitors were willing to sit for interviews to refute their findings. From that point, the hackers were free to play hide and seek on a massive scale practically everywhere. All it took was a simple, but yet undefined human error to allow the hackers to plant malware into a March 2020 update. Thousands of companies and government agencies use the SolarWinds Orion Platform. Unanimously, they saw it as meticulous work of an accomplished team, but it did not take a genius hacker team to break into SolarWinds’ development environment. In the days following the revelation of the hack, we contacted a dozen security experts. In all the furor of the SolarWinds hack, only one thing is clear: There is no defense against human error, but vigilance can mitigate disaster.
