Pulse Secure has their own security issues which is causing many firms (especially in Financial Services) to DUMP the Pulse Secure platform.
Now is the fact that Sudhakar Ramakrishna is the CEO of a second company with major security related issues? I work in Financial Services, we spent the better part of yesterday when this story broke through today on a SWAT call identifying and disabling our SolarWinds servers while migrating THOUSANDS of Windows and Linux servers over to a different platform.
Congratulations Sudhakar Ramakrishna. Every company you touch turns to sh*t and any company you have anything to do with the firm i work for has decided it will run from going forward.
Coincidence that Sudhakar Ramakrishna is at SolarWinds just in time for this? I think not.
BTW: US Treasury was compromised over the weekend because of SolarWinds. The ripple effect through ALL of Financial Services today remains huge.
Talked with some network engineers at a sister site today. They not only pulled the plug on their SolarWinds setup, they’re scrapping the setup. Said the SolarWinds sales people were calling their customers bright and early this morning doing damage control. Their sales creature wanted to setup a conference call with visuals, etc. The one engineer told the sales person “How do I ever trust your software again? You guys blew it.”
SolarWinds is ‘gonna get pounded in the marketplace.
