CircleCI is a platform that enables continuous integration and delivery of software projects. It allows teams to automate their software development process by building, testing, and deploying their code changes in a consistent and reliable manner. In this blog post, we will explore the Tactics/Techniques/Procedures (TTP) of how environment variables that house sensitive credentials and secrets can be exfiltrated using Circle CI.

In a ruling made on April 26, 2023, the General Court of the European Union (EU) made a groundbreaking decision changing the definition of personal data that has been in place since the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This ruling has significant data-sharing implications for organizations within the EU and enables them to share data with third parties more easily, as long as it’s appropriately de-identified.

A new study found that ChatGPT can accurately recall any sensitive information fed to it as part of a query at a later date without controls in place to protect who can retrieve it. The frenzy to take advantage of ChatGPT and other AI platforms like it has likely caused some to feed it plenty of corporate data in an effort to have the AI process and provide insightful output based on the queries received.

In today’s rapidly digitizing world, the importance of data security has become paramount. With the increasing amount of sensitive information being shared and stored online, securing information from cyber attacks, information breaches, and theft has become a top priority for companies of all sizes. Data loss prevention (DLP) is a critical part of the Netskope Intelligent Security Service Edge (SSE) security platform, providing best-in-class data security to our customers.

While it might seem initially abstract, sustainability and data security are symbiotic. Allow me to explain. Regardless of the action or industry, critical data touches everything. Whether data is being used in pharmaceutical research, financial records, or intellectual property, securing it is the common imperative. This is especially true as it moves through various access points, the cloud, applications, the web, and various other transactions.

The UK government’s Security Policy Framework (SPF) outlines the expectations and requirements for security measures to be implemented across UK government departments, and external agencies handling government information and data assets. The framework covers various aspects of information security, including governance, risk management, technology and services, and culture and awareness.

With this short guide we will explain how you can add data loss prevention (DLP) as code to communications services like Twilio and SendGrid in a few lines of code, helping ensure your customer communications remain compliant.

Being a business leader in today’s business environment is no walk in the park. With over 2,200 cybersecurity attacks occurring daily, the task of protecting valuable business data adds an extra layer of complexity to your plate. How do you safeguard your crucial data, ensuring it’s not lost or compromised? You need a comprehensive Data Loss Prevention (DLP) strategy fortified by the best IT security software.

When looking for programmatic secrets, it’s not easy to figure out what is truly sensitive and how high-risk it is. There are many different types of secrets and credentials, and the context makes a difference. For example, there could be public URLs with tokens in them, public UUIDs, or credentials used in frontend code — these could all be considered API keys or secrets, but not necessarily at the same degree of sensitivity/severity as something like AWS credentials.

Zero Trust is the new Buzz word in the cybersecurity arena. Ever since, Forrester Analyst, Kindervag introduced the term Zero Trust in his article “Zero Trust Architecture”, traditional security measures have become obsolete. Zero Trust is a security framework that is based on an “I Trust No One” principle; it doesn’t matter if the user is within or outside the organization. A user is not granted access unless he/she is authenticated and authorized first.
