Lifecycle and security management for NetScaler environments at an IT service provider in the financial sector, since 2021.

Background

NetScaler occupies a prominent position in the network: as an access point for applications and load balancing. In Germany alone, several thousand appliances are accessible from the Internet, and the platform is consequently a prime target for attackers. Several vulnerabilities discovered in recent years were actively exploited before the majority of operators had applied patches. The BSI has repeatedly issued cybersecurity warnings regarding this issue.
