Shift left security ensures that:
• Helps to avoid lengthy delays downstream by allowing you to discover potential security risks in the code before that code is integrated, tested, documented, or even released!
• Vulnerabilities are discovered on time in the software development cycle.
• Notifications are sent whenever potential vulnerabilities are committed, enabling quick detection and correction of security issues as part of the development phase.
• The cost of remediation is the lowest possible as real-time is far less costly than fixing days later at deployment or even worse when a pe*******on test report outlines the vulnerabilities.

What is a leak?

•leak is an Unauthorized release of confidential or sensitive information, that Can lead to privacy violations, financial loss, or damage to reputations.

•API keys are credentials used to authorize access to web services or APIs. A leak of API keys can be a big problem as it can allow unauthorized individuals or applications to access and misuse sensitive data or resources of your company.

Leaks can affect big companies, as evidenced by the recent Mercedes-Benz source code leak. It all began during an internet scan by Redhunt Labs when a GitHub token leaked by a Full-Time Employee at Mercedes was identified in their GitHub Repository. This token provided 'unrestricted' and 'unmonitored' access to the entire source code hosted on the Internal GitHub Enterprise Server.

Myth!

Opening a malicious email or clicking on a suspicious link can download malware into your device, giving attackers access to your data!

Cybercrime is costing businesses trillions & growing!

This highlights the severity of the issue with a shocking statistic.

Email phishing attacks is a real nightmare for businesses !

Phishing attacks are a major risk point of cyber breaches, almost every employee deals with emails day in day out, and of course they faced at least 1 time in phish attack to have an access to company network.

More About phishing attacks:

Phishing attack is deceptive email to obtain sensitive data, some of this of generic scams sent by cyber criminals to as many recipients as they can.

And there is type of phishing by email called “spear phishing”

In this type the criminal will do some research to know more about the recipient to make the scame more likely to success like names of vendors and business associate the scammer could attempt to impersonate.

Phishing attacks try to obtain the following:

1-obtain sensitive information such as trade secrets.

2-personal information like phone number, street address.

3-infect your phone with malware through an attachment.

4-lead you to a bogus website.

5-dupe you into making a payment to a fake bank account or fake invoice

Factors of successful phishing scams:

1-the carrot and the stick: the criminal encourage the victim to press on the email so they have to write it with a promising copy to attract the and interact with their email.

2- familiarity: is more likely to trust and interacting with source they know

3-Authority: in order to make the victim perform like as you want you have to state the intention of their copy with level of authority.

4-Urgency: To get the user to overlook their normal judgement, phishing emails often attempt to create a sense of urgency.

5-Timing: Phishing emails sent at certain times of day are far more likely to succeed - such as shortly before the end of working hours when employees may be tired and make mistakes with security.

6-Lack of awareness: Employees that have not been to understand the risk of phishing and how to identify suspicious emails are many times more likely to become victims of a successful attack.

How could you protect you business from phishing attacks?

While there is no chance of stop phishing emails attacks, so you have to stick to the high level of precautions:

1-First step of this journey of data security is to set up a spam filter to block receiving a scam emails that comes from suspicious sources

2- enabling security messages for users such as banners that warn users when an email comes from outside the company.

3-The second step to stopping the threat of phishing is too often overlooked, but is just as important. This involves addressing the human factor: training employees to understand the threat posed by phishing, identify the signs of phishing, and to take the proper precautions when they send or receive information over email.

Myth!

Even seemingly unimportant data leaks can be damaging. Hackers can exploit leaked information such as email addresses or social media activity to initiate phishing attacks or trade it on the dark web.

Think You're Too Small to Get Hacked?
Think Again …….

Most cyber-attacks are now run by automated scripts that seek out vulnerable systems and software regardless of size or prestige.
60% of cyber attacks target small and medium-sized businesses!
Due to their lack of investment in cybersecurity as well as their limited resources, small companies often make the perfect targets….

Remember, it is usually not your fame that is most valuable to hackers, but the information you handle.
-Insufficient employee awareness, encompassing developers as well, may lead to the inadvertent disclosure of sensitive company information.

False!

Secret scanning is a crucial first step, identifying exposed secrets before and during pe*******on testing delves deeper into exploitability. Both approaches work best together for a comprehensive security posture.

We assure 100% that phishing attacks reached out most of normal people or organizations for their data like password, phone numbers, bank account , email or anything they seek for!

Phishing attacks are a major threat in the cybersecurity world, affecting individuals and organizations alike.

In fact, over 80% of reported cyber incidents involve phishing “CSO Online”

They have their wide methods and deceptive storyline to manipulate you into clicking a link or opening an attachment .

Here the following messages that you may faced from scammers: beware of the fifth point !

1- There is an issue with your account or payment information.

2- Request to confirm personal or financial details that are unnecessary.

3- Offer counterfeit coupons for free items.

4- We have detected suspicious activity or login attempts

Scammers not only can phishing emails have severe consequences for individuals who unknowingly provide scammers with their personal information, they can also harm the reputations of the companies they are impersonating.

5 tips for avoiding phishing attacks

As a general rule of thumb, unless you 100% trust the site you are on, you should not willingly give out your card information. Make sure, if you have to provide your information, that you verify the website is genuine, that the company is real and that the site itself is secure. In addition to such measures, below are ten of the most notable ways to protect your systems and data from phishing attacks:

1-know what phishing scam looks like:

There are many sites online that will keep you informed of the latest phishing attacks and their key identifiers. The earlier you find out about the latest attack methods and share them with your users through regular security awareness training, the more likely you are to avoid a potential attack.

2-Get free anti phishing add-ons

Most browsers nowadays will enable you to download add-ons that spot the signs of a malicious website or alert you about known phishing sites. They are usually completely free so there’s no reason not to have this installed on every device in your organization.

3-get strong password:

Encourage the use of complex and unique passwords for all accounts, and discourage the sharing of passwords. Implement two-factor authentication on all accounts whenever possible. This provides an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step.

4-don’t ignore the update message:

Receiving numerous update messages can be frustrating, and it can be attempting to put them off and ignore them, but wait the security patches and updates are released for a reason !

Most commonly to keep up to date with the modern cyber attacks methods by delete all holes to be secured.

If you don’t update your browser, you could be at risk of phishing attacks through known vulnerabilities that could have been easily avoided

5- Exercise caution when opening emails or clicking on links

- Avoid downloading attachments unless they are expected and from trusted sources.
- you should be doing is hovering over the link to see if the destination is the correct one.
- If it’s possible for you to go straight to the site through your search engine, rather than click on the link.

API keys serve as the initial step in the authentication process, verifying the validity of calls submitted to the API (Application Programming Interface) and confirming the identities of requesters to ensure they have the necessary permissions for access.

However, they do have their weaknesses, which include:

1. API keys are rarely initially encrypted.
2. Secure storage is often lacking.
3. Third-party created API keys are not secured by default.
4. API keys lack granular controls.

Despite these weaknesses, API keys remain a crucial component of API usage, necessitating careful management and security measures.

To ensure the security of API keys, it is essential to adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Avoid storing API keys within the code or the application’s source tree.

To enhance the overall security of a web application, developers sometimes embed API keys directly into the code itself. However, if the source code is uploaded to a public repository such as GitHub, the API key becomes publicly exposed.

2. Securely store API keys:

Consider creating environment variables to store API keys, preventing their exposure if the source code is uploaded publicly. Alternatively, store API keys in secure files outside the application’s source tree, or utilize a secrets management service.

3. Rotate API keys:

Regularly rotate API keys to mitigate potential vulnerabilities if they are exposed. Establish a security policy that mandates changing API keys every 30, 60, or 90 days.

4. Delete unused API keys:

In addition to rotating keys, remove any unused or unnecessary API keys to prevent malicious actors from exploiting them in attacks.

By following these recommendations, you can enhance the security of your API keys and protect your application from potential threats.
