Tanium comments on Digital Ocean and Twilio attacks

August 2022 by Chris Vaughan AVP - Technical Account Management – EMEA, Tanium

As you may have heard Digital Ocean and Twilio confirmed having experienced data breach attacks causing another costly data breach with phone numbers and emails exposed by bad actors. Below is a comment from Chris Vaughn from Tanium on these attacks.

Tanium Chris Vaughan AVP - Technical Account Management – EMEA:
“Recently, Twilio, Signal’s verification company, and Digital Ocean, the Cloud company using Mailchimp, confirmed having experienced data breach attacks, the latter causing another costly data breach with phone numbers and emails exposed by bad actors. Both attacks are stark reminders of how risks related to the software supply chain are rising and these threats continue to affect all industries.

It’s also a highlight of the importance of putting in place a comprehensive vendor security strategy that includes validating risk assessment, zero trust practices and basic patching.

Validating software supplier risk is not a point-in-time assessment. Organisations need to continuously evaluate third-party risk, and in further detail beyond the scope of what industry or government regulations demand.

Additionally, it’s essential that Zero Trust becomes the norm. Organisations must shift their mindset of implementing people, process, and product controls to continuously verify access, and operate on a least privilege mentality. It’s key to enforce policies internally and externally with third-parties on the flow of data, implement and strengthen controls around user identity, network segmentation and security and operational posture of the connecting device.

Finally, organisations need to focus on doing the basics right and patch vulnerabilities across third party software in a consistent, predictable, and repeatable way. This can be done by having strong detection and response tools in place – only then will organisations be able to limit the consequences of a potential breach via the software supply chain.”
