NSA and Partners Release Joint Publications on Edge Device Security

FORT MEADE, Md. - The National Security Agency (NSA) has joined the Australian Signals Directorate’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ASD’s ACSC), the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS), and others to release three Cybersecurity Information Sheets (CSIs) that highlight critically important mitigation strategies for securing edge device systems, including firewalls, routers, and virtual private network (VPN) gateways.  

The publications emphasize best practices such as implementing zero trust principles, enabling multi-factor authentication, and regularly updating device firmware to reduce attack surfaces. By following these recommendations, organizations can better protect critical infrastructure and sensitive data from emerging cyber threats.
