Deploying a web application firewall (WAF) with updated signatures, revising the incident response plan to include specific steps for this exploit, and conducting a physical security audit of the data center housing the application servers.
Issuing a company-wide email alert to all employees about the exploit and instructing them to be vigilant.
Implementing a strict policy requiring all employees to use multi-factor authentication for all internal systems, regardless of their direct connection to the web application.
