/ 16 Mar, 2026Deepfake Impersonation Attacks (Part 1): Anatomy of Modern Deepfakes
In 2024, Arup, a global engineering consultancy, fell victim to one of the most sophisticated deepfake fraud attacks, losing $25 million after an employee joined what appeared to be a legitimate video conference with AI-generated deepfake executives.
This post explores the technical evolution of deepfake technology, from early GANs to modern diffusion models, and explains how attackers can now bypass enterprise liveness detection to impersonate executives in real-time video calls.

/ 16 Sep, 2024Non-Human Identities Security: Breaking down the problem
Compromised non-human identities are increasingly being leveraged by attackers to gain initial access and as a vector for lateral movement.
Microsoft, Cloudflare, and Dropbox are just a few of the companies that have fallen victim to this growing threat this year.
In this blog post, we focus on the attack vectors involved and on what actions companies must take to prevent these attacks.

/ 15 Jul, 2024Protecting against Snowflake breaches
In the last few weeks several very high-profile breaches have been in the news, from Santander to Ticketmaster and AT&T.
These breaches all have the same attack vector: identity-based attacks against Snowflake instances.
In this article, we discuss the causes of the breach and our approach to protect against identity-based attacks against Snowflake.

/ 17 Jun, 2024ODPR: A Framework for Securing Non-Human Identities
Identity-based attacks have become the primary way attackers move laterally in a network. They are also responsible for half of the initial intrusions.
Addressing these attacks requires very different tooling and approaches compared to malware-based attacks.
In this article we delve into the SlashID framework to address these attacks.

Stolen secrets and credentials are one of the most common ways for attackers to move laterally and maintain persistence in cloud environments.
In this blog post we introduce credential tokenization to protect secrets at runtime, introduce separation of duties, and reduce the credential rotation burden.
