Outdated VPNs should be purged from federal agencies, senator says

**Executive Summary:** Senator Ron Wyden warns that legacy, internet-facing VPNs have been exploited by Russian and Chinese hackers to gain administrative access to U.S. government and contractor networks, citing multiple recent campaigns and affected vendors (Cisco, Fortinet, Ivanti, Check Point); he urges CISA, NIST, OMB and the NSA to purge public-facing remote-access systems and adopt zero-trust architecture within a two-year timeframe.
