Salt Typhoon: Defending Against State-Sponsored Cyber Threats with Aviatrix
Salt Typhoon is a suspected Chinese state-sponsored APT group that has already compromised over 100,000 routers and established persistent footholds inside telecommunications providers, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and more. The attack method is straightforward: exploit known vulnerabilities in VPNs, firewalls, and routers from Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, and Ivanti, then move laterally through flat networks that have no meaningful way to stop them. This threat overview explains how the attack works and what Aviatrix does to close each gap it exploits.

What you'll find inside
A clear breakdown of how Salt Typhoon exploits edge infrastructure vulnerabilities to gain initial access, escalate privileges, and establish long-term persistence inside compromised networks
How seven specific threat vectors, from man-in-the-middle attacks and lateral movement to data exfiltration and management traffic compromise, are each addressed by Aviatrix's encryption, segmentation, and monitoring capabilities
Why FBI and CISA guidance points directly to the network security modernization that Aviatrix delivers, including CISA and NIST SP 800-53 alignment for compliance and audit reporting
What organizations across all sectors, not just telecoms, need to do differently now that Salt Typhoon has expanded its targeting beyond its original focus

The Containment Era — Why the Threat Model Outgrew the Architecture
The Cascade attack of March 2026 proved what security leaders suspected: detection-first architecture can no longer keep pace with threats that move through trusted channels. This whitepaper examines the Architectural Divide, the growing gap between cloud workload deployment and security enforcement, and explains why blast radius has become the metric that matters most. Download to understand the structural shift your security strategy needs to address.

Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewall Design and Implementation Guide
Knowing you need a Distributed Cloud Firewall is one thing. Knowing how to design and deploy it in a way that actually enforces your security intent across every workload, every cloud, at scale is another. This guide gives cloud and network practitioners the architectural patterns and step-by-step configuration guidance they need to implement Aviatrix DCF with confidence, without the guesswork.

Architecture Won - A Fortune Global 500 Enterprise Has the Block Logs to Prove It
A Fortune Global 500 enterprise used Aviatrix to quickly block malicious IPs tied to the LiteLLM supply chain attack. The casestudy highlights how the right cloud security architecture enables fast action, real-time enforcement, and stronger protection without added complexity.

Aviatrix Breach Lock: Rapid Response Program for Cloud Data Exfiltration
When attackers gain a foothold in your cloud environment, data exfiltration can begin within seconds. Long before your DFIR team has established situational awareness, sensitive data is already moving. CNAPPs surface posture issues. EDR protects endpoints. SASE secures the perimeter. None of them stop workload-driven cloud egress during an active incident. Aviatrix Breach Lock is a free rapid response program that gives organizations immediate visibility, workload-level attribution, and cloud native egress containment during an active or suspected breach, with no agents, no downtime, and no architecture changes.

Defend Yourself Against Ransomware: Checklist
Hybrid and multicloud network environments are complex; protecting yourself against ransomware isn’t as simple as identifying a couple of gaps and patching them up. You need a systemic, defense-in-depth strategy to blanket your environment with protection against ransomware. This checklist helps you get started, with real-world guidance including enforcing zero trust segmentation, centralizing policy management and visibility, and implementing always-on risk scoring.

The AI Security Paradox: Fast Facts on Protecting AI While AI Protects You
This piece explores security for AI protection and AI for security enhancements, outlining how organizations can protect their AI systems effectively.

The Current Cloud Network Security Landscape
The cloud security market is growing fast. The breaches are growing faster. Multicloud is the norm, AI is expanding attack surfaces exponentially, and the tools most organizations rely on were built for environments that no longer exist. This whitepaper cuts through the noise, using Google's $40 billion in security acquisitions as a lens to understand where the market is heading, what the most sophisticated organizations are prioritizing, and what the gap between a static security blueprint and runtime reality is actually costing enterprises today.

Why The Security Of Your Cloud Perimeter Could Be At Risk
Cloud-native NAT gateways are easy to spin up and easy to overlook as a security risk. But if your cloud perimeter security depends on them, you are likely overpaying and underprotected at the same time. Data egress charges alone account for 10 to 15% of cloud bills, and the security obfuscation NAT provides is nowhere near enough to stop modern attack methods. This whitepaper is for cloud and security teams who want to fix both problems without adding more complexity to an environment that is already hard enough to manage.
