Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to Siberian Here, technology and cybersecurity are made simple
for everyone. Whether you're a tech geek or just curious
about the digital world, We've got you covered. Each episode
we dive into the latest topics from Technocratico dot it
and break them down so you can stay informed and protected.
(00:23):
This is a Siberian Media Miami production. Let's get into it.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
The scaber gulsis flame, make us a blood back fame
to love it to fuckings, honess, see usselves.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
And remember this.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
In this episode, we analyze another topic proposed by Raphaele
Dimrcio on his ex profile Technocratico seventy two. Raphaile is
a cybersecurity expert founder of Technocratico dot it. He works
as a consultant and frequently speaks at various conferences focusing
on information and communication technology as well as European regulations
(01:11):
and standards in the field. His experience today guides us
in exploring zero Day Alert three critical yvante CSA vulnerabilities
actively exploited, offering a unique perspective. Let's begin this stimulating discussion.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Such a.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Okay, so picture this.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
You're walking up to your go to coffee shop. You're
ready for that caffeine hit, right, but you don't know.
Someone's messed with the coffee beans. They've snuck in something bad,
and now everyone who.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Takes a sip is in for a rough morning. Oh
I see, that's kind of what's going on in cybersecurity
now with this Avante software.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
It is a good analogy, but instead of like a
caffeine crash, we're talking about companies, even government systems potentially
grinding to.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
A halt exactly. And the worst part this isn't some
theoretical threat.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Yeah, attackers are already using these vulnerabilities, three big ones actually,
and they're doing it right now.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, which is why we call them zero day vulnerabilities.
They're being exploited before a VARNTE could even release a fix.
It's a race against time.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
So you're saying they're digital attackers out there.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Like fighting in the shadows, just waiting for companies to
take a sip of that bad coffee.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
You could say that, yeah, And these vulnerabilities they make
it so easy to slip in. Two of these flaws,
for example, they basically give hackers the ability to just
walk in and get full administrative access.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Wait, so they're basically handing over the keys to the kingdom.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Basically, Yeah, it's called privilege escalation, and it means they
can access anything, change anything. It's total system takeover.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Now that's a nightmare. What about the third vulnerability?
Speaker 5 (02:51):
This one's all about injecting malicious code. Think of it
like planting a digital time bomb that can steal data
or mess up operations from the inside.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And to make matters worse, they're using some really sneaky
tactics to exploit these vulnerabilities, right, I read something about
API manipulation, right.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Yeah, they're hijacking the communication channels between different software components,
intercepting messages between different parts of your brain. Chaos is inevitable.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
So what you're saying is this isn't some amateur operation, right.
These attackers know what they're doing.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
They know what they're doing. Yeah, and the potential fallout
is huge. You remember the solar Ons hack back in
twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Uh, this has the potential to be just as bad,
if not worse. Okay, I'm nervous.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Now what are we talking about here in terms of
real world impact?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Give me the worst case scenario.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Imagine sensitive information being leaked, critical infrastructure going dark. Companies
losing millions in a matter of hours. It's not a
pretty picture.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
And the Australian Cybersecurity Center is raising a red flag
about this too.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Right they are. Yeah, they've issued a warning specifically saying
that tons of organizations, both public and private, they're at risk.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
This is all sounding scarily similar to that watering whole
analogy we were talking about earlier.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
It is, yeah, And just like in the wild, the
predators in this situation they're cunning, they're stealthy, and they're
always a step ahead.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
So if these cyber criminals are the predators, who are
they hunting?
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Is it just big companies and governments? Or should everyday
people like me be worried.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
To It's not just about the big fish, it's about
anyone using this Ivante software, and believe it or not,
that's a lot of people. That's what makes these attacks
so dangerous. They're casting a wide net. So what can
people do to protect themselves? This is a lot honestly.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Yeah, it can feel like a digital arms race, but
there are absolutely things you can do. First patching, okay,
think of it like locking your front door. Basic cybersecurity.
Anyvante has released a fix, right, they have Yeah, applying
that patch needs to be your top priority. It's like
the antidote to that poisoned coffee we are talking about.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Okay, cybersecurity PSA for the day, Everyone patch your systems.
But what else can people do? Because let's be real,
these attackers will probably just find another way in.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Sadly, that's true, which is why you can't just play defense.
You have to be proactive. That's where things like network
segmentation come in. Network now segmentation, it's about dividing your
network into smaller, safer segments. Think of it like having
security clearances for different parts of a building. Even if
someone gets past one layer, they don't automatically get access
(05:31):
to everything.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Okay, so compartmentalization is key. What about constantly monitoring your systems?
Is that something people should be thinking about?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
For sure? It's not enough to just set it and
forget it. You need to be watching for any suspicious activity.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
So it's like having a security guard who never sleeps.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Exactly, and luckily there's technology that can help you do
this automatically analyzing your network traffic and system logs looking
for anything unusual.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
So patching is like locking your front door and segmentation
is like having security clearances. Then this is like having
a whole security team monitoring your systems twenty four to seven.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
You got it. And then to take it up a notch,
there's something called extended detection and response or XDR XDR.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
That sounds serious. What is that?
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Okay, So think of XDR like a team of detectives
on call two four seven. They're not just looking for intruders.
They're analyzing every move they make, figuring out how they work,
helping you stay a step ahead.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Okay, that sounds really important, But realistically, are people actually
doing this? Are companies patching their systems and actually using
these advanced defenses?
Speaker 5 (06:34):
That that's the million dollar question, and honestly, the answer
isn't always great. There's a worrying trend of companies being
slow to update their security, Like how slow are we
talking about?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Recent data shows that over thirty percent of companies using
Ivante CSA haven't patched these vulnerabilities yet.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Thirty percent? Seriously, that's like leaving your front door wide
open with a sign that says free stuff. Right, what's
the hold up?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It's a few things. Sometimes companies just don't have the
resources or the people to manage updates well. Other times
they're worried about things like downtime, you know, systems going
offline or problems with compatibility.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
So it's like choosing between dealing with installing a security
system and the risk of being robbed.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
That's a good way to put it. And then there's
the whole it won't happen to me thing, which as
we know, is so.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Risky, especially these days when it seems like there's a
new cyber attack every other day.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Exactly, it's not a matter of if, it's when, and
with cybersecurity, being prepared is way better than dealing with
the consequences.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
So true, But I have to ask, if the stakes
are so high, why aren't more companies making cybersecurity a
top priority. It's like they say, right, pay the farmer now,
or pay the doctor.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Later, But in this case, it's pay for cybersecurity now
or pay a ransom to hackers later. And who wants
to do that?
Speaker 5 (07:53):
You'd be surprised, honestly. A lot of companies see cybersecurity
as like a cost, not something that makes them money.
They don't get the whole consequence thing until it's too late.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
So we need to change how they think then yeah, right,
make them realize that putting money into cybersecurity is like
investing in their business's future.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
It's about going from reacting to things to being proactive,
you know, from what if we get attacked? To how
do we stop an attack from happening?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
And that probably starts with teaching people, making sure everyone
at the company, from the top bosses to the new people,
understands why cybersecurity matters and how they fit into it.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Absolutely, cybersecurity isn't just the it guys problem anymore. It's
everyone's job.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
It's like you wouldn't just leave your laptop at a
coffee shop, right right, You keep it safe. It should
be the same with your digital life, exactly at working
at home.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
It's about knowing the risks, taking smart precautions, and keeping
up with the latest threats you know, and how to
be safe.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
So what's the one thing you want listeners to take
away If they can only remember one thing from all
of this, what would it be?
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Hmmm, good question. I'd say, remember that cybersecurity is a journey,
not a one time thing. There's no easy fix, no
single solution. It's about always adapting, changing with the times.
And staying one step ahead of the bad.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Guys and never clicking on weird links.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Oh for sure. Always good advice, and remember there's so
much information out there. If you're ever unsure or overwhelmed,
don't be afraid to ask for help.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Absolutely, knowledge is power, especially in this world. Well this
has been eye opening. I'll admit I felt a little
on edge at the start, but now I feel more
prepared knowing what I can do to stay safe.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
That's great to hear. Being aware is the first step
to a safer digital life.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Couldn't agree more. And with that, we've reached the end
of our deep dive into these yvante vulnerabilities. But before
we go, something for you to think about. If you
could build the ultimate cybersecurity defense, what would it look like?
So considered, until next time, stay safe out.
