Is Post-Quantum Cryptography #PQC being used by your apps when calling other APIs?
New feature in the works that'll let you capture your progress with updating the crypto libs
#DiscrimiNAT is an #egress filter for your cloud with monitoring, analytics, dry-run & enforcement
Another fantastic review of our DiscrimiNAT Firewall. If you need a developer-friendly #egress filtering solution for AWS or GCP, book a demo here: chasersystems.com

I was mighty upset with Google on 12 Feb. We had discovered that the issue affecting egress filtering for a DiscrimiNAT customer on GCP was in fact Post-Quantum Cryptography TLS handshakes. It was a combination of the most up-to-date OpenSSL version in a container image and server-side #PQC ...
v2.30 of DiscrimiNAT Firewall for egress filtering is now Generally Available.
Key improvements include support for Post-Quantum Cryptography #PQC TLS handshake.

What data do coding agents send, and where to?
Our report seeks to answer some of our questions for the most popular coding agents. Incidentally, a side-effect was running into OWASP LLM07:2025 System Prompt Leakage. You can see the system prompts in the appendix.

Welcome to the team Lucas Pye! Lucas is joining us as an intern until mid-September and is researching what telemetry is gathered from developer machines by various popular agentic coding tools. When he's not intercepting #egress traffic you can find him climbing!

We're back at @fwdcloudsec.org again today, drop by our booth and try our mini-CTF to win a #YubiKey. Only 4 left, so be sure to come by early!
We're demoing DiscrimiNAT Firewall at the venue this year. See you in Denver!
TLS ECH (formerly ESNI) is an emerging threat in traffic observability.
Learn about what it is, its background and original purpose, and how to disable it in controlled environments - especially Chrome and headless Chrome in the linked solution article:

Our founder @new23d.bsky.social's talk accepted for @fwdcloudsec.org at Denver in June on AWS IAM Roles Anywhere with ACME-enabled PKI certs distribution (using Let's Encrypt Staging)
Videos will be available on YouTube later and we'll post an update when they are.
We make it easier for you to enable an outbound network traffic firewall in full allowlist enforcement mode -- with discovery, dry run and micro-segmentation.
Available on AWS and GCP. Search for DiscrimiNAT Firewall in your cloud web console.

It also has a non-blocking monitoring mode to discover what you need to allow, and a dry-run mode to test rules before enforcement.

The mechanism under the hood is truly patent worthy!
The integration with GCP has always been such that it mimics a built-in feature with use of Network Tags, Firewall Rules and Logs Explorer 😎. It is stateless, CIS-hardened, upgrades seamlessly, and you can see the full comparison [3] for more
Wildcards are now GA from us for network egress on GCP.
Took time to develop since we didn't want the solution to be trivially bypassable with SNI Spoofing [1] or cause interruptions to your traffic intermittently with false positives (as is the case with known issue FWAAS-1501 of Palo Alto [2]).
Wildcards were a game-changer in GCP for this👇customer in reducing #egress management overhead.

✅SNI spoofing proof tech
