SquareX Discovers New Cybersecurity Attacks that Completely Bypass Secure Web Gateways (SWG), Leaving Most Enterprises Vulnerable.

SquareX Discovers New Cybersecurity Attacks that Completely Bypass Secure Web Gateways (SWG), Leaving Most Enterprises Vulnerable.

SINGAPORE, Aug 6, 2024 – SquareX Founder, Vivek Ramachandran, cybersecurity veteran with over 20 years of experience and founder/ex-CEO of Pentester Academy (acquired by INE), together with the security research team, will be delivering their latest findings in an upcoming main stage talk, titled Breaking Secure Web Gateways (SWG) for Fun and Profit! at DEF CON 32’ on Friday, August 9, 2024 at 5pm PT.

The talk will unveil ‘Last Mile Reassembly Attacks’, a new class of attacks that completely evade Secure Web Gateways (SWGs), a crucial component of modern Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Security Service Edge (SSE) solutions.

The web browser is the most used application within the enterprise but also the least protected. Bad actors are now increasingly targeting the weakest link: employees and consultants.

Unfortunately, most of these attacks happen online when the employee or consultant is going about his daily work. Existing security solutions like SWGs as part of SASE/SSE solutions are unable to protect users against modern web threats that happen on the client side. This makes it currently impossible for enterprise security teams to detect, mitigate and threat hunt these attacks.

Vivek Ramachandran and the SquareX team have conceptualized and identified a new class of attacks against SWG and cloud-based intercepting proxies, converting traditional attacks like malware downloads and malicious websites into something undetectable by all existing vendors in the Gartner Magic Quadrant.

This class of attack is called “Last Mile Reassembly Attacks”. The vulnerabilities the team discovered are architectural and vendor-agnostic, meaning there is no specific way to fix them.

These attacks will have a massive impact on SASE, as it is a $40 billion market, and every large security vendor has an SWG product vulnerable to this new class of attacks. This is an industry-first research highlighting attacks that we suspect may have been circulating in the wild for some time. As these client-side attacks are fundamentally different in nature to the attacks that SWGs typically detect, they have remained unnoticed. Upon revealing these attacks and the release of the accompanying toolkit, enterprise vendors can assess their security posture and build countermeasures.

During the main stage talk, Vivek will shed light on this “Last Mile Reassembly Attacks” – where a file download, upload or site rendering never actually happens on the server side. Instead, the attack is assembled directly in the user’s browser using various techniques, which will be explained in detail during the talk. This way, malicious files can evade triggering SWGs, leaving many enterprises across the globe vulnerable to being attacked.

Researchers at SquareX will also demonstrate over 25 plus bypass methods, including chunking attacks, WASM payloads, and others.

“The research team and I are excited to be presenting the talk at DEF CON 32. This talk will challenge SASE, SSE vendors in the current space. We hope that vendors will rethink their reliance on cloud-based web attack detection models and understand the need for a client-side (either endpoint or browser-bjhased) security agent and browser-hardening to work in tandem with the SWG for accurate detection-mitigation of attacks,” says Vivek Ramachandran, Founder & CEO of SquareX.

Web attacks have far advanced and evolved in today’s world and if enterprises do not change the way they protect their users, they will essentially be vulnerable to these web threats and attacks. SquareX is dedicated to enhancing online security for enterprises. By bringing these vulnerabilities to light and advocating for a more comprehensive approach to browser security, the team’s research serves as a critical alert to the cybersecurity community.

The revealing of “Last Mile Reassembly Attacks” and the release of the accompanying toolkit are poised to challenge the way enterprise security teams think and will prompt enterprises to reassess their methods for protecting employees from browser-based attacks.

About SquareX:
SquareX helps organizations detect, mitigate and threat-hunt web attacks happening against their users in real time. With our innovative browser-native security product, SquareX safeguards enterprise users from a spectrum of web-based threats, encompassing malicious files, websites, scripts, and compromised networks.

About Vivek Ramachandran:
Vivek Ramachandran is a security researcher, book author, speaker-trainer, and serial entrepreneur with over two decades of experience in offensive cybersecurity. He is currently the founder of SquareX, building a browser-native security product focused on detecting, mitigating, and threat-hunting web attacks against enterprise users and consumers. Prior to that, he was the founder of Pentester Academy (acquired in 2021), which has trained thousands of customers from government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and enterprises from over 140+ countries. Before that, Vivek’s company built an 802.11ac monitoring product sold exclusively to defense agencies.

Vivek discovered the Caffe Latte attack, broke WEP Cloaking, conceptualized enterprise Wi-Fi Backdoors, and created Chellam (Wi-Fi Firewall), WiMonitor Enterprise (802.11ac monitoring), Chigula (Wi-Fi traffic analysis via SQL), Deceptacon (IoT Honeypots), among others. He is the author of multiple five-star-rated books in offensive cybersecurity, which have sold thousands of copies worldwide and have been translated into multiple languages.

He has been a speaker/trainer at top security conferences such as Blackhat USA, Europe and Abu Dhabi, DEFCON, Nullcon, Brucon, HITB, Hacktivity, and others. Vivek’s work in cybersecurity has been covered in Forbes, TechCrunch, and other popular media outlets.

He was also one of the winners of the Microsoft Security Shootout contest held in India among a reported 65,000 participants. He has also published multiple research papers in the field of DDoS, ARP Spoofing Detection, and Anomaly-based Intrusion Detection Systems.

Suffering from Neck Pain: How Sleepsia’s Cervical Pillows Are Making a Difference

Suffering from Neck Pain: How Sleepsia’s Cervical Pillows Are Making a Difference

Neck pain, especially chronic neck pain, is a modern-day plague – according to experts. Long hours of sitting on a desk and incorrect sleep posture further exacerbate the problem. As a modern-day challenge, chronic neck pain requires a modern-day solution – and there’s hope.

Sleepsia is reshaping how we think about posture and pain management through their innovative approach to pillow design. But before diving into the specifics of the design, let’s take a brief detour and understand the science behind neck pain.

The Hidden Epidemic of Neck Pain

Neck pain is more than just a minor inconvenience. It’s a pervasive issue that affects people of all ages, often leading to:

* Disrupted sleep patterns

* Decreased productivity

* Reduced quality of life

* Increased healthcare costs

Many who suffer from chronic neck pain find themselves caught in a vicious cycle: pain leads to poor sleep, which in turn exacerbates the pain. Breaking this cycle has become a priority for health professionals and individuals alike.

Understanding the Root Cause

At the heart of many neck pain issues lies a common factor: improper sleep posture. The way we position our heads and necks during those crucial hours of rest can significantly impact our overall well-being.

Traditional pillows often fall short in providing the necessary support, leaving the neck misaligned and vulnerable to strain. This is where Sleepsia’s approach stands out.

Sleepsia’s Innovative Solution

Sleepsia has developed a range of pillows specifically designed to address the unique needs of neck pain sufferers. Key features include:

* Ergonomic Design: Contoured to support the natural curve of the neck and spine

* Memory Foam: Adapts to individual body shapes for personalized comfort

* Temperature Regulation: Helps maintain optimal sleep conditions throughout the night

* Adjustable Support: Allows users to customize their level of elevation and firmness

The Science Behind the Comfort

Sleepsia’s cervical pillow for neck pain is not just about comfort – they’re designed with principles of ergonomics and sleep physiology in mind. By promoting proper cervical alignment, these pillows may:

* Support muscles in the neck and shoulders

* Encourage better blood flow

* Reinforce support to the cervical spine

* Promote better posture and overall relaxation

Looking Ahead

As we continue to understand the importance of sleep quality in overall health, products like Sleepsia’s pillows offer a practical, non-invasive approach to addressing common sleep-related issues.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic neck pain, occasional discomfort, or simply seeking to improve your sleep quality, exploring proper neck support as part of your sleep routine could be a step towards more restful nights and more energized days.

Sleepsia remains committed to ongoing research and development, continuously refining their products to meet the evolving needs of sleepers worldwide. By focusing on the critical role of proper support in pain management and sleep quality, Sleepsia is promoting a pathway to better health and well-being.

Siachen Naturals™ Secures First-ever Equity Funding in Ladakh

Siachen Naturals™ Secures First-ever Equity Funding in Ladakh

Ladakh-based Siachen Naturals™ has recently concluded its pre-seed funding round at a valuation of half a million USD. This milestone marks the first equity financing secured by a startup in Ladakh. This round was led by notable investors, including Anuj Sharma, Founder of Alsisar Impact, Sonali Mehta-Rao of Ahaana Ventures, Urvashi Devidayal, Former South Asia head of Thomson Reuters Foundation, and Manoj Jain, a Silicon Valley-based angel investor and start-up finance leader.

Siachen Naturals crafts authentic Ladakhi natural soup mixes, porridges and other healthy breakfast products using locally grown, organic ingredients, known for their health benefits and centuries-old heritage. Each product is handcrafted and sustainably produced through environmentally-friendly techniques such as solar dryers, glacier water turbines, and eco-packaging.

Siachen Naturals was founded by Tsetan Dorjey, a native of Aranoo village, India’s northernmost village nestled in the breathtaking valley of the Siachen Glacier, the world’s longest non-polar glacier. He has studied at the world-renowned SECMOL alternate school founded by Sonam Wangchuk, and has completed the prestigious Naropa Fellowship. His idea has also been awarded catalytic funding by OYO Rooms Founder Ritesh Agarwal and IIT Mandi Catalyst.

Dorjey aims to empower local indigenous Ladakhi communities, starting with women from Siachen villages, by tackling the socio-economic challenges that lead to migration and unstable livelihoods through sustainable business. Siachen Naturals achieves this by offering fixed-income opportunities, training, infrastructure, and advance payments to enable stable livelihoods and reward regenerative agricultural practices.

Reflecting on his journey, Tsetan states, “Our ambitions for Siachen Valley and Ladakh are boundless. We are laying the groundwork for a prosperous and happy Ladakh where we can conserve our values and traditions while providing equitable economic opportunities for countless Ladakhi youth. With the challenges of climate change, we urgently need to preserve our pristine land, traditions and farmers. While this milestone marks progress, it’s merely the opening chapter of our story. We are taking Ladakh’s flavors worldwide. “

ALSISAR Impact, a pioneer in backing local and indigenous entrepreneurs with a focus on the Himalayan startup ecosystem, has worked with Tsetan since its inception in 2022 and witnessed the company’s growth. With products flying off the shelves in Ladakh and expanding rapidly into the northern India markets, the brand’s popularity is growing steadily. Sold-out exhibitions in Mumbai signal overwhelming demand and validate its potential to grow further.

Anuj Sharma, founder of ALSISAR Impact and investor in Siachen Naturals, believes that Siachen Naturals is providing a blueprint for communities worldwide to responsibly harness their natural resources while preserving cultural heritage and building climate resilience.

Kaia Gold Leasing Limited Announces Expansion into the Indian Market

Kaia Gold Leasing Limited Announces Expansion into the Indian Market

 Kaia Gold Leasing Limited, established in 2016 with extensive experience in gold leasing and strong partnerships, is expanding into the Indian market. The company features a comprehensive gold trading system that consistently generates profits, benefiting both the company and its investors. In July 2024, Kaia Gold Leasing underwent a major reorganization, expanding its shareholder base and changing its major shareholders, while shifting its business line from Europe and America to India. This strategic move is expected to bring significant wealth and investment opportunities to the Indian market.

Why Choose Gold Leasing in India

India has a long-standing cultural and economic connection to gold, valuing it as both a precious metal and a symbol of prosperity. Traditionally, Indians have invested in gold not only for its returns but also as a safeguard against emergencies. While holding physical gold has its challenges, gold investment has evolved to offer more innovative options.

Digital gold, sovereign gold bonds, and digital trading have become popular choices. However, there’s another option you might not know about: gold leasing. Gold leasing allows investors to earn returns by leasing out their gold. Interested? Read on to learn more about how gold leasing works and its potential benefits.

What is gold leasing in India? How does it work?

Digital gold investments have become increasingly popular among investors in recent years. Gold leasing can take your digital gold investment to the next level, helping you earn extra interest on top of your annual gold returns.

Here’s how it works: Your gold is leased to a jeweler who needs it for their daily operations. Throughout the lease period, you remain the owner of the gold. The jeweler pays you interest on the gold they borrow from you on a daily basis. You can lease your invested digital gold to verified jewelers listed on the app, and they will provide you with monthly interest on the gold you own. This process is similar to renting out your home and receiving monthly rental income.

Additionally, you can buy trading shares, which are parts of complete orders divided into smaller shares for you to invest in. When you purchase a share, the income generated by that order is linked to you. This model generates daily profits, which you can withdraw until the order expires. This is an innovative model of gold leasing.

Returns are calculated daily. You can start investing in digital gold for as little as Rs. 300 per day and lease it later. You will earn returns only for the period during which you lease the gold.

What are the Benefits of Leasing Gold Online?

Gold investments offer several advantages, including value appreciation, a hedge against rising inflation, and portfolio diversification. Gold is considered a safe haven in difficult times and is easy to liquidate, making it a preferred alternative investment option.

How is Gold Leasing Different from Other Gold Investment Options?

Gold leasing involves gold, so people often wonder how it differs from other gold investments. If you have the same question, here is the answer:

Gold leasing typically offers higher returns compared to other gold investment options because you get compounded returns on your deposited gold instead of simple interest. Additionally, with gold leasing, your interest is calculated and credited to your account on a daily basis.

Kaia Gold Leasing is introducing a new model of leasing in India, which aims to provide investors with an innovative way to manage their gold assets.
