🚨 Critical Citrix NetScaler Vulnerabilities Under Active Exploitation

Two newly disclosed vulnerabilities in Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway have been assigned a CVSS score of 9.5, allowing unauthenticated attackers to achieve remote code ex*****on and potentially take full control of affected systems.

The most concerning detail? Exploitation attempts have already been observed in the wild.
If your organization relies on Citrix NetScaler, now is the time to:
✅ Assess affected deployments
✅ Apply the latest firmware updates
✅ Review your exposure and security posture

At Helient, we're helping organizations evaluate risk and remediate vulnerable environments quickly.

Law firms are moving fast as they evaluate AI, adopt new cloud services, and evolve their productivity tools.

That's exciting.

But one thing we've heard repeatedly in conversations with law firms and industry peers at is that firms don't want innovation to come at the expense of security.

The firms in the strongest position aren't waiting until after a technology rollout to think about security. They're considering governance, permissions, access controls, and infrastructure readiness before moving forward.

Hardening infrastructure isn't about preparing for the worst. It's about being ready for what's next.

That's the focus of our free webinar: The Security Behind AI: Hardening Law Firm Cloud Infrastructure.

Join Kenon Bliss, Vice President of Technology at Helient, and John Boyer, Business Development Manager & Microsoft Solutions Expert at Helient, for a discussion on how law firms can support new technology without compromising security.

You’ll gain insights into:
- Key security takeaways from ILTACON 2026
- Common security gaps in Azure and cloud environments
- How accounts, permissions, and access rights can create exposure
- Practical ways to harden infrastructure and protect sensitive client and matter data
- Security considerations for AI and emerging technologies

Your law firm's technology stack probably looks very different than it did a year ago. In the last 12 months, how many of these has your firm added?
- AI tools
- SaaS applications
- Cloud services
- Integrations
- New ways to access and share information

Now, how many security reviews have happened alongside them?
Productivity initiatives can quickly become a security and governance challenge if the right foundation isn't in place.

That's one of the reasons we're hosting The Security Behind AI: Hardening Law Firm Cloud Infrastructure.
Join Kenon Bliss (Vice President of Technology, Helient) and John Boyer (Business Development Manager & Microsoft Solutions Expert, Helient) for a free webinar on the security foundations that help law firms prepare for AI, cloud modernization, and future technology decisions.

By the end, you'll learn:
- Key security takeaways from and conversations across the legal technology community
- Common security gaps found in Azure and cloud environments
- A better understanding of how permissions and access rights can create exposure
- Practical ways to harden infrastructure and protect sensitive client and matter data
- Security considerations for AI and emerging technologies

Law firms earn trust by protecting sensitive information. Now, as AI becomes more integrated into daily workflows, that trust is being tested by a new set of questions.
- What information can AI access?
- How are permissions managed?
- Are governance practices keeping pace with new technology?

Following conversations at and across the legal technology community, one thing has become clear: law firms want to embrace the opportunities AI presents, but they want to do so without compromising security, governance, or client confidence.

Join Kenon Bliss (Vice President of Technology, Helient) and John Boyer (Business Development Manager & Microsoft Solutions Expert, Helient) for a discussion on the security foundations behind AI and what law firms should be evaluating before expanding access to new technologies.

You'll walk away with:
- Key security insights from ILTACON 2026 and the legal technology community
- Common gaps in Azure and cloud environments
- How accounts, permissions, and access rights create exposure
- Practical ways to protect infrastructure and sensitive client data
- Key security considerations for AI and emerging technologies

🖥️SSL/TLS certificate lifetimes are getting shorter, and manual renewal processes will not scale with them.

Public certificate lifetimes drop to 100 days in 2027 and 47 days in 2029. Now is the time to review how your organization handles renewals, validation, and certificate-related downtime. For some environments, ACME (Automated Certificate Management Environment) can reduce manual overhead. For others, a mix of internal PKI, ACME, and Azure Key Vault may be the more practical path.

Our latest blog explains what is changing and how to build a certificate-management strategy that fits your environment: https://hubs.ly/Q04xf5ZD0

⏱️Organizations using Microsoft Entra Connect Sync should verify their environment before September 30, 2026.

Microsoft says synchronization services will stop working after that date if your environment is running below version 2.5.79.0. A working sync today does not confirm your environment is ready for the deadline. Now is the time to verify your installed version, auto-upgrade status, and synchronization health.

For eligible environments, this is also a practical time to evaluate Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync as part of your longer-term hybrid identity strategy. Read the Helient blog for what to verify and how to prepare.
