  • Today, information technology is flooded with various gadgets and products that are all marketed to help improve security. Some of these products do work as advertised while others do not. One would assume that the security products themselves are secure, but the reality is that some security products may in fact be more of a danger to your networks than a benefit. This article outlines some of the known vulnerabilities in security products as well as some new attack vectors that may not have been considered. In doing so, the intent is not to call attentionto specific vendors, but the reader may notice that some vendors have more issues than others.
