Viraat Bindra RiskProfiler, a global provider of external risk intelligence and cybersecurity solutions, recently announced the appointment of Viraat Bindra to its Advisory Board as the company accelerates growth across Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) and strengthens its broader Asia-Pacific strategy. The appointment comes at a time when enterprises worldwide are increasingly focusing on external cyber risks such as brand impersonation, executive fraud, third-party exposure, and dark web threats – risks that emerge outside traditional security perimeters but have direct business and reputational impact. Viraat brings deep regional expertise and extensive experience in building cybersecurity offerings across enterprise and channel ecosystems. He currently serves in a leadership role at ACPL Systems, a global cybersecurity distributor and solutions provider with a strong presence across APAC and international markets. As part of his advisory role, Viraat will work closely with RiskProfiler’s leadership team to: “Many modern threats materialise long before reaching traditional security controls – through impersonation, exposed credentials, and third-party compromise,” said Viraat Bindra, “RiskProfiler’s outside-in approach and focus on operationalising intelligence for security teams and service providers address a clear and growing need in the ANZ market. I’m excited to support the team as they expand their regional presence.” This announcement reflects a broader industry shift as enterprises and managed security service providers look beyond internal controls to understand what attackers see first – their brands, digital identities, suppliers, and internet-facing assets. “External risk has moved from being a security discussion to a business leadership priority,” said Setu Parimi, Co-founder and CTO of RiskProfiler, “As organisations scale digitally across global markets, the ability to continuously monitor and act on external exposure becomes critical to protecting customer trust and brand integrity. Viraat’s regional expertise and ecosystem experience will play an important role as we expand our partnerships and support organisations across ANZ and Asia-Pacific.” RiskProfiler continues to gain momentum globally as enterprises adopt proactive, outside-in cybersecurity strategies that help reduce exposure before threats escalate into incidents. The appointment reinforces the company’s commitment to helping organisations strengthen digital trust and reduce external risk with clarity and confidence. RiskProfiler is a leading global provider of external threat intelligence, helping organisations stay ahead of cyber threats by identifying risks before they escalate into attacks. The company specialises in brand monitoring, dark web intelligence, third-party risk management, and external risk visibility, delivering AI-driven insights and automated response capabilities. By empowering enterprises to proactively manage brand and digital risks, RiskProfiler helps strengthen cyber resilience, protect customer trust, and support secure digital growth. Read More

New capability brings enterprise-grade repository access control to organizations using GitHub Team and Organization plans eScan (MicroWorld Technologies Inc.) announced the successful deployment of GitHub Tenant Control within its Enterprise DLP solution, addressing a critical security gap affecting thousands of organisations that use GitHub Team or Organisation accounts without Enterprise-level access controls. The common thread? Organisations struggle to control how employees access GitHub, particularly when they haven’t invested in expensive Enterprise accounts with built-in authentication controls. When a Mercedes-Benz employee accidentally leaked a GitHub token in June 2024, it granted unrestricted access to the company’s entire GitHub Enterprise server source code. When The New York Times had credentials to their GitHub repositories inadvertently exposed in January 2024, their complete codebase appeared on 4chan months later. And in March 2025, the tj-actions/ changed-files GitHub Action compromise exposed CI/ CD secrets – including AWS keys, GitHub tokens, and private RSA keys – across 23,000 repositories. The GitHub Access Control Problem GitHub’s pricing structure creates a significant security dilemma. While GitHub Enterprise ($21/user/month) includes SAML single sign-on and centralized authentication controls, many organizations use GitHub Team accounts ($4/ user/month) to manage costs – particularly when purchasing seats for dozens or hundreds of developers. Team accounts lack GitHub’s native tenant control features, leaving organizations vulnerable to employees accessing repositories through personal credentials, third-party SSO providers like Google or Microsoft, or Apple ID authentication. “Organizations face an impossible choice,” said Govind Rammurthy, CEO & Managing Director, eScan, “Either spend 5x more for GitHub Enterprise just to get access controls, or accept the risk that employees might access your source code repositories through personal accounts that you can’t monitor or audit. eScan’s GitHub Tenant Control eliminates that dilemma.” How eScan solves it eScan Enterprise DLP’s new GitHub Tenant Control capability works regardless of GitHub account type – Team, Organization, or Enterprise. When an employee attempts to access GitHub using personal credentials or third-party authentication providers (Google, Apple, Microsoft), eScan’s DLP intercepts the authentication attempt and blocks it. Access succeeds only when employees authenticate using their corporate domain credentials, maintaining workflow continuity while ensuring complete visibility and control. “This isn’t about replacing GitHub’s security features for Enterprise customers,” Shweta Thakare, VP of Global Sales, explained, “It’s about extending enterprise-grade access control to organizations using Team or Organization accounts, and providing an additional layer of authentication enforcement even for Enterprise customers who want defense-in-depth.” Why this matters now GitHub reported that 39 million secrets were leaked across its platform in 2024 alone. The recent tj-actions compromise in March 2025 affected over 23,000 repositories, exposing credentials that could enable lateral movement into production environments. With India’s DPDP Act driving unprecedented focus on data sovereignty and access control, source code repositories have become a critical compliance concern. eScan’s GitHub Tenant Control integrates with the company’s broader Workspace Tenant Control feature set, which already manages authentication for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Dropbox, Atlassian, Slack, Webex, ChatGPT, and dozens of other platforms. The unified approach enables organizations to enforce consistent authentication policies across their entire cloud application ecosystem from a single DLP platform. Read More
