Attackers will always find a way to compromise your software supply chain, but with honeytokens, you can stay one step ahead. Deploy at scale, monitor for unauthorized use, and detect intrusions before it's too late. With Honeytoken, you'll know where, who, and how they're trying to access your confidential data.
Okta's source code stolen after GitHub repositories hacked
Okta, a leading provider of authentication services and Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions, says that its private GitHub repositories were hacked.
CircleCI security alert: Rotate any secrets stored in CircleCI
On December 29, 2022, we were alerted to suspicious GitHub OAuth activity by one of our customers. This notification kicked off a deeper review by CircleCI’s security team with GitHub.
Twitter's Source Code Leak on GitHub a Potential Cyber Nightmare
Twitter experienced a source code leak, which involved a portion of its codebase being uploaded to a GitHub repository. The leaked code reportedly contained some of the social media platform's internal tools and capabilities.
While fortifications and controls like SCM governance, IAM best practices, cloud security posture hardening, and secret scanning can significantly improve the security posture of an organization, the sad truth is that no security measure is foolproof. Even with the implementation of advanced security frameworks like SLSA or NIST SP 800-161, there's still a risk of getting breached.
Attackers are becoming more sophisticated in their tactics and constantly trying to penetrate even the most well-secured systems through your software supply chain components, including SCM systems, CI/CD pipelines, and artifact registries.
Exposed credentials or secrets found especially in source code, configuration, or logs can enable lateral movement for attackers.
One powerful platform for developers, site reliability engineers, and secops analysts.
Developers
As code owners, devs will place the honeytokens
Help disseminate the honeytokens with a simple and fun workflow.
Site Reliability EngineerS
Holds high privileges in the infrastructure
Deploy honeytokens on Terraform files in S3 buckets, CI environment variables, and the vault using ggshield.
SecOps
Plays a crucial role in the Honeytoken initiative
Create, manage, monitor honeytokens, and respond to alerts generated by them. Utilize automation for dissemination.
Create a honeytoken through the GitGuardian dashboard or API.
Copy the honeytoken and deploy it in your code, Jenkins environment, etc.
The attacker gets access to the system and trips over the honeytoken.
We send instant alerts to notify your Security and SOC team.
Stop intruders in their tracks and safeguard your SDLC with GitGuardian Honeytoken. Attackers using automated detection can't help tripping over such honeytokens.
Embed honeytokens across the SDLC, including your laptops, source control, CI/CD pipelines, internal registries, internal wikis, messaging, and project management tools.
Be alerted only for genuine security threats. Our detection engine distinguishes honeytokens from real secrets incidents, resulting in a low false positive rate.
Each time you fix a secret with GitGuardian, use a sweet trick - create a honeytoken with GitGuardian API or CLI, ggshield and catch intruders quick!
Receive instant alerts reducing Mean-Time-To-Detect a breach to a few minutes.
Easily integrate granular event alerts with your favorite SIEMs and ITSMs using custom webhooks.
Investigate triggered honeytokens with relevant information, such as the IP address of the intruder, timestamp, source, contextual tags, and the event that triggered it.
Respond accordingly to the triggered honeytokens with our guidelines.
Easily deploy honeytokens in your software supply chain to detect any breach there.
Protect multiple repositories by creating honeytokens on a large enterprise scale using our public API.
Gain automatic visibility of your codebase and honeytokens, allowing for easy identification of their accidental placement in multiple repositories.
Be alerted about the leak of your honeytoken on public GitHub with the “Publicly exposed” flag.
Identify public leaks of your private repos and prioritize the remediation of secrets in those repos.
See contextual information on how the honeytoken was triggered.
Save time and resources with an easy way to detect code leakage and prevent further data loss.
I recently saw the Honeytoken beta, and I'm impressed with the concept, level of detail, and information they provide when honeytokens are triggered.
I discovered that GitGuardian offers a new type of flag that is “publicly exposed”. This flag is designed to detect when a token has been leaked on public GitHub repositories.
This will help us quickly identify when a token has been leaked and take action to mitigate the potential security risk. It's an extra layer of protection that would give us peace of mind knowing that our sensitive information is being monitored and protected.
