Many companies use application virtualization, such as Citrix, to deploy their software on client devices without a local installation. This allows flexible and efficient use of applications across various devices, especially within the context of a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy. However, the centralized deployment, also known as encapsulation, comes with risks, particularly if attackers succeed in breaking out of the isolated environment.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, misconfigured file managers or special keyboard shortcuts can enable attackers to break out of the application's encapsulation and compromise the underlying system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During their pentests<\/a>, our pentest professionals at usd HeroLab<\/a> consistently encounter environments inadequately prepared for the implementation of virtualization and thus provide gateways for attackers with potentially severe consequences for the company. Conducting a thorough analysis of virtualized environments requires a specialized approach to identify vulnerabilities. In their LabNews article, our pentest professionals highlight key considerations for security experts when analyzing complex virtualized environments.\u00a0Click here <\/a>to read the Labews article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
