In a recent episode of Brand Story, Simon Wijckmans, founder and CEO of c/side, discussed the critical need to secure third-party scripts on websites, a frequently overlooked aspect of cybersecurity. Drawing on his experience with companies like Cloudflare and Vercel, Wijckmans outlined why traditional methods fall short in addressing dynamic threats and how c/side is redefining client-side security.Third-party scripts—commonly used for analytics, marketing, and chatbots—are vital for website functionality but come with inherent risks. These scripts operate dynamically, allowing malicious actors to inject harmful code under specific conditions, such as targeting particular users or timeframes. Existing security approaches, such as threat feeds or basic web crawlers, fail to detect these threats because they often rely on static assessments. As Wijckmans explained, these limitations result in a false sense of security, leaving businesses exposed to significant risks.C/side provides a proactive solution by placing itself between users and third-party script providers. This approach enables real-time analysis and monitoring of script behavior. Using advanced tools, including AI-driven analysis, c/side inspects the JavaScript code and flags malicious activity. Unlike other solutions, it offers complete transparency by delivering the full source code of scripts in a readable format, empowering organizations to investigate and address potential vulnerabilities comprehensively.Wijckmans stressed that client-side script security is an essential yet underrepresented aspect of the supply chain. While most security tools focus on protecting server-side dependencies, the browser remains a critical point where sensitive data is often compromised. C/side not only addresses this gap but also helps organizations meet compliance requirements like those outlined in PCI-DSS, which mandate monitoring client-side scripts executed in browsers.C/side's offerings cater to various users, from small businesses using a free tier to enterprises requiring comprehensive solutions. Its tools integrate seamlessly into cybersecurity programs, supporting developers, agencies, and compliance teams. Additionally, c/side enhances performance by optimizing script delivery, ensuring that security does not come at the cost of website functionality.With its innovative approach, c/side exemplifies how specialized solutions can tackle complex cybersecurity challenges. As Wijckmans highlighted, the modern web can be made safer with accessible, effective tools, leaving no excuse for neglecting client-side security.

Guest:  Travis Lanham, Uber Tech Lead (UTL) for Security Operations Engineering, Google Cloud Topics: There's been a ton of discussion in the wake of the three SIEM week about the future of SIEM-like products. We saw a lot of takes on how this augurs the future of disassembled or decoupled SIEMs. Can you explain what these disassembled SIEMs are all about? What are the expected upsides of detaching your SIEM interface and security capabilities from your data backend? Tell us about the early days of SecOps (nee Chronicle) and why we didn't go with this approach? What are the upsides of a tightly coupled datastore + security experience for a SIEM? Are there more risks or negatives of the decoupled/decentralized approach?  Complexity and the need to assemble “at home” are on the list, right? One of the 50 things Google knew to be true back in the day was that product innovation comes from technical innovation, what's the technical innovation driving decoupled SIEMs? So what about those security data lakes? Any insights? Resources: EP139 What is Chronicle?

Darren is the Co-Founder and CEO of Carbide. This cyber security firm provides businesses of all sizes with the tools they need to adopt a robust cybersecurity and privacy posture, enabling them to protect their data from cybercriminals, transform security from a potential liability to a competitive advantage, and accelerate their growth.   A TechStars alum, Carbide has raised 7M+, and its clientele is quickly growing in highly regulated markets, including e-commerce, FinTech, healthcare, and insurtech.   Darren has 15+ years of experience as the CEO and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of several businesses that handle sensitive data. This experience has given him a solid grasp of evaluating and managing risk according to organizational goals while fostering growth.   Before starting Carbide, he Co-Founded Marcato, an innovative event management platform that managed 300+ music and cultural events, including Burning Man and Coachella, in 27 countries worldwide. Darren ran the business as CEO and CISO for ten years until it was acquired by Patron Technology in 2018. At that point, he decided to go into the cybersecurity industry.   He is a Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) and Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).   On the podcast, Darren would love to talk about:   How to engage your team in cybersecurity to build a secure by-default company in a way that enables you to breeze through audits and assessments while, at the same time, being something your team enjoys.  How to showcase your company's cybersecurity posture in a way that helps you close deals faster and earn greater customer trust. How to make cybersecurity and data privacy a part of your service or product offering. This topic would interest startups and service companies that provide tools and services outside of IT and security and service companies like MSPs that can benefit from adding security products and services to their offerings. How fast-growing organizations achieve enterprise-class security and privacy.   To get a sense of Darren, here's an episode he did on the Privacy Please Podcast, where he shared advice for founders on securing their startups.   Quick recap Summary Darren's Cybersecurity Journey and Insights Darren and Michael discussed Darren's background and experience in cybersecurity and data privacy. Darren shared his unconventional entry into the field, having previously worked in various leadership roles before focusing on security. He emphasized the importance of security no longer being a "bolt-on" but an essential component of leadership and business operations. He also mentioned his current role as a board member for the International Information System Security Certification Consortium and his upcoming plans for the quarter. Michael showed interest in understanding more about Darren's insights. Turbine's AI Integration and Business Model Shift darrengallop, the CEO and co-founder of Turbine cyber security and data privacy company, discussed the company's development and future plans in the meeting. He elaborated on how they have been using AI and machine learning (ML) as a component of their product, which was launched in December after about a year of development. Darren also shared that they have shifted their business model to encompass AI to enhance the human experience and better support their customers. He further discussed his passion for cyber security and data privacy, especially in healthcare and manufacturing industries. The conversation then moved to the fast-paced world we live in, with Michael jokingly relating his recent stress test experience to the ever-accelerating speed of technology. Cybersecurity Leadership and Prioritization Michael emphasized the critical importance of cybersecurity and the need for it to be a top priority within organizations, arguing that it's as crucial as accounting and customer service departments. He also touched on the significance of leadership in cybersecurity, stating that it's a skill that can be learned and that he, as an accountant, had successfully transitioned into the tech space due to his curiosity and leadership ability. Darren agreed with Michael's points, asserting that effective leadership is essential for the proper use and management of cybersecurity and data privacy within an organization. Leadership Engagement in IT Security Challenges darrengallop discussed the challenges IT security teams face in organizations where leadership is not engaged or committed to ensuring security. He noted that many organizations prioritize sales and fiscal responsibilities over security, leading to a reactive approach dubbed "security theater." Darren emphasized the need for leadership to prioritize security and recognize the evolving threat landscape, including the increasing profitability of cybercrime. Michael concurred, pointing out the lower overheads and ease of recruitment in cybercrime, compared to traditional criminal activities like drug cartels. Attracting Younger Generations to Computer Activities Michael and Darren discussed the attraction of computer-based activities for younger generations, likening it to a game or a puzzle that they find engaging and challenging. Michael suggested that this behavior could lead to criminal activities like hacking, especially for those in difficult economic situations. However, he emphasized the possibility of separating the criminal aspect from these activities and using their skills for legitimate purposes, setting them up for future success. Darren agreed with Michael's points. Organized Crime and Human Trafficking Discussion Michael and Darren discussed the prevalence of certain criminal activities within their borders and worldwide. Darren elaborated on the operations of organized criminal groups, mentioning cases in poor countries where people are exploited and demonized as targets. He also introduced the concept of human trafficking for hacking camps, where individuals are forced to conduct social engineering scams. Darren estimated that over 200,000 people are in captivity conducting these types of operations, making it difficult for law enforcement to have a meaningful impact on stopping and catching the perpetrators. AI Fraud and Preventive Measures Michael discussed the potential dangers of AI technology being used for fraudulent activities, such as scam phone calls using cloned voices. He suggested the use of code words and education as preventive measures. darrengallop agreed, emphasizing the importance of educating individuals at all levels to identify and prevent such criminal activities. He also highlighted the potential futility of relying solely on law enforcement to combat this issue, given the vast scope and complexity of the problem. Identity Theft and Financial Vulnerability Discussion darrengallop and Michael discussed the potential risks of identity theft and financial loss in today's world. Darren emphasized the importance of understanding the various factors contributing to vulnerability, such as owning property or having good credit, and noted how these factors could be used against individuals. Michael shared his experience managing his mother's estate and highlighted the need to freeze credit applications for the deceased. Both acknowledged the growing use of AI and other tools to automate finding weaknesses and vulnerabilities and how criminals could exploit this. They also discussed the possibility of identity theft through obituaries and the physical theft of mail. Data Theft, Hacking, and Customer Expectations Michael and Darren discussed the creative and often criminal activities surrounding data theft and hacking. They highlighted the need for organizations to monitor their systems and data closely and emphasized the importance of protecting sensitive information. Darren noted customers' increasing awareness and expectation regarding privacy and security, with many technology providers now implementing these concepts by default. However, he also pointed out the ongoing risks posed by social engineering and criminal activities, which have been refined over time. Both agreed on the need for these issues to be part of an organization's DNA, not an add-on, to prevent future breaches. Cybersecurity, Global Impact, and Resources darrengallop and Michael discussed the changing global landscape and its impact on businesses, emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity and data protection. Darren introduced his website, carbidesecure.com, as a resource for companies seeking cybersecurity implementation and maintenance assistance.

What methods are these developers using, and why do I want them to succeed? Leaky CLI, a vulnerability discovered by Orca in AWS, Google, and Azure CLI tools, is exposing sensitive credentials in build logs, putting countless organizations at risk of cyber attacks. What measures can organizations take to prevent sensitive credentials from being exposed by build logs? Finally, hackers have infiltrated the United Nations Development Program's IT systems, stealing sensitive human resources data from its global network dedicated to fighting poverty and inequality. You're listening to the Daily Decrypt. Malware developers are now turning their tactics against individuals seeking child exploitation material, specifically targeting them with ransomware designed to extort money by feigning legal action. This new strain of malware, dubbed CryptVPN, was recently analyzed by Bleeping Computer after a sample was shared with the cybersecurity researcher MalwareHunterTeam. CryptVPN tricks users into downloading a seemingly harmless software, which then locks the user's desktop and changes their wallpaper to a menacing ransom note. The ploy begins with a decoy website that impersonates. Usenet Club, a purported subscription service offering uncensored access to downloadable content from Usenet, which is an established network used for various discussions, which unfortunately also includes illegal content. The site offers several subscription tiers, but the trap is set with the free tier, which requires the installation of the CryptVPN software to access the supposed free content. Now to be honest, I feel like I don't even want to give away these clues to any child predators that may be listening. So I'm going to stop there as far as how the attack works, but I'm really glad that attackers have found this vector because people who are partaking in illegal activities have a lot to lose and are often pretty scared, you know, unless they're complete psychopaths. And and so if someone's able to get the information or lure people into these websites You know, this reminds me of something that happened to me back in my single days. And those of you who know me personally can validate the authenticity of this story, but it might sound a little crazy to just an average listener. But swiping on Tinder, matched with someone, they didn't really want to chat too much, they just wanted to start sending nude photographs. And I personally, it's not my thing, but let's just say I'm not going to unmatch this person for offering. And so nude photographs came through, there was no exchange, but they did ask for photographs of myself, which I was not interested in sending. And in fact, I wasn't really interested in pursuing anyone who would just jump in and send nude photographs. So I stopped talking to them. And about a couple of days later, I got a phone call from a Someone claiming to be the police department, saying that they had gotten my number from this girl's dad, and she's underage, and now they have proof that I've been sending nude photographs to this underage person. Well, I don't know. They accused me of that and that never happened. So immediately I knew it was a scan. But let's just say hypothetically that I had sent pictures to this person. I would be pretty scared receiving this threat. Because my whole life would change, right? If I became a child predator or a sexual predator or whatever it's called, then like a lot of stuff changes. And at the time I was in the military, so that was the end of my military career or whatever. So it's a very similar to that. If you're doing something wrong. And you get caught in a trap, you're very likely to pay the ransom. So first of all, don't mess around with children online. Don't do illegal sexual things. And you have nothing to worry about with this scam. So please stop doing that. Don't do that. And you've got nothing to worry about, it's been recently unveiled that command line interface tools from the tech giants such as Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud are susceptible to exposing sensitive credentials in the build logs, presenting a substantial security hazard to enterprises. This vulnerability is a Which the cloud security firm Orca has dubbed Leaky CLI, involves certain commands on the Azure CLI, AWS CLI, and Google Cloud CLI that could reveal environment variables. Roy Nizmi, a prominent security researcher, highlights in a report to the Hacker News that, quote, some commands can expose sensitive information in the form of environment variables, which can be collected by adversaries when published by tools such as GitHub Actions. In response, Microsoft has proactively addressed this security lapse in its November 2023 update, designating it with the CVE identifier 2023 36052, which carries a critical CVSS score of 8. 6 out of 10. Conversely, Amazon and Google view the exposure of environment variables as an anticipated behavior, advising organizations to refrain from storing secrets within these variables. Instead, they recommend using specialized services like AWS Secrets Manager or Google Cloud Secret Manager, which is a great recommendation. Furthermore, Google has advised users of its CLI tools to employ the dash dash no dash user output enabled option, which prevents the printing of command output to the terminal, thereby mitigating the risk of data leaks. Orca has also identified several instances on GitHub where projects inadvertently leaked access tokens and other sensitive data through continuous integration and deployment tools, including GitHub actions, CircleCI, TravisCI, and CloudBuild, which is always going to be a problem. Take those. Pull request reviews, seriously. Nimzy warns, if bad actors get their hands on these environment variables, this could potentially lead to view sensitive information, including credentials, such as passwords, usernames, and keys, which could allow them to access any resources that the repository owners can. He added that CLI commands are by default assumed to be running in a secure environment. But coupled with CICD pipelines or continuous integration, continuous development, they may pose a security threat. This ongoing issue underscores the critical need for heightened security measures within cloud computing environments. Go out there, get you a new cloud job, my guys. Finally, the United Nations Development Program, or UNDP, has launched an investigation into a significant cyber attack where intruders compromised its IT systems, resulting in the theft of critical human resources data. So, human resources data sounds It's pretty benign to me, like, the way that that's framed seems like nothing, but think about what the data Human Resources has. It's the crown jewels. They've got your social security number for your W 2 form, they've got your previous jobs, they've got your address, they've got your email address, they've got everything. So Human Resources data is nothing to bat an eye at. The agency, which is a cornerstone of the United Nations efforts to combat poverty and inequality worldwide. Confirmed the breach occurred in late March within the local IT infrastructure for the United Nations. Following the detection of the breach on March 27th, thanks to a threat intelligence alert, UNDP acted swiftly. Quote, actions were immediately taken to identify a potential source and contain the effective server as well. As to determine the specifics of the exposed data and who was impacted. The ongoing investigation seeks to fully understand the incident's nature and scope, as well as its impact on individuals whose information was compromised, but to further complicate some matters, the eight base ransomware gang, a group known for its broad attacks on various industries, claimed responsibility for the data theft. On the same day as the breach, they added a new entry for UNDP on their dark web leak site. The documents leaked, according to the attackers, contain a huge amount of confidential information, ranging from personal data to financial records and employment contracts. This cyberattack is not the first the United Nations has suffered. Previous breaches have struck the United Nations Environmental Program and key United Nations networks in Geneva and Vienna, showcasing ongoing vulnerabilities within UNIT systems. Meanwhile, the 8Base group, which claims to target companies neglecting data privacy, continues its surge of attacks, having listed over 350 victims on its data leak site to date. So if you're listening and you know your company is rejecting some data privacy protocols, maybe use this story as incentive to get them to pay more attention to this.
