OverviewGolden Insurance Brokers Co. is an insurance brokerage focused on building trust as a core part of its brand and customer experience. As the company continues to improve its digital service model to support more customers, services, online interactions, APIs, and partner-connected ecosystems, cybersecurity has become an important enabler of reliable service, compliance, privacy protection, and customer trust. To support this progress, Golden Insurance needed a more modern approach to security one that could reduce risk, strengthen cyber resilience, and protect customer trust in a rapidly evolving threat landscape. Following its official OTC listing on March 30, 2026, Golden Insurance also continued to view cybersecurity as part of ESG governance and long-term business resilience.ChallengeTraditional Layer 3 and Layer 4 firewalls were no longer sufficient to address modern attacks hidden within legitimate traffic and HTTPS-encrypted sessions. The brokerage needed stronger protection for its websites and APIs, better visibility into malicious bot activity, and a more unified security model that could reduce management silos while supporting high-frequency digital transactions.At the same time, the company needed to secure APIs that connected directly to backend systems and sensitive personal data. Frequent updates and growing integration requirements increased the risk of exposure. Like many organizations, Golden Insurance also faced the ongoing challenge of limited cybersecurity talent and needed a scalable way to strengthen protection without overburdening internal teams.SolutionTo address these challenges, Golden Insurance worked with CHT Security to implement a one-stop WAAP (Web Application and API Protection) architecture combined with managed security services. The solution brought together web protection, API security, bot management, DDoS mitigation, and expert monitoring to create a more integrated defense model.The brokerage also adopted Radwares EPIC-AI cloud security platform and SOCXpert to enhance threat detection, incident response, and operational efficiency. According to the source material, the Radware deployment reduced mean time to recovery (MTTR) to 1/20th of its original time, and SOCXpert enabled incidents to be identified and remediated within minutes. Together, the platform and service model helped improve precision, reduce pressure on internal resources, and support a stronger security posture aligned with the companys digital business model.ImplementationDuring deployment, CHT Security used a learning mode to analyze policyholder login behavior and API call frequency before moving into blocking mode. Its consulting team fine-tuned allowlists and security policy settings to reduce the risk of false positives and business disruption. This phased approach helped the brokerage strengthen protection while keeping cybersecurity controls largely invisible to day-to-day business operations. The source content also notes that Radware successfully blocked the high-profile Log4Shell vulnerability on the first day of the outbreak, demonstrating the platforms Day Zero response capability.Business ImpactBy combining platform capabilities with managed services, Golden Insurance established a more coordinated security architecture across its website, APIs, and broader digital operations. The company improved its ability to reduce blind spots, strengthen API protection, and support compliance requirements in a changing regulatory and threat environment. As presented in the source material, this approach also helped reinforce and position the company as the only insurance broker in the industry to simultaneously hold ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and BS 10012 international certifications.The combined approach also helped the brokerage manage the cybersecurity talent gap more effectively by shifting intensive monitoring and policy-tuning activities to a specialized partner. This enabled internal teams to focus more on innovation and digital business priorities while maintaining a stronger foundation of trust for customers and partners.Looking AheadGolden Insurance plans to continue strengthening its ecosystem-based security model with CHT Security. Future priorities include improving visibility into open-source component risks, maintaining security standards for third-party API partners, and exploring additional monitoring capabilities to stay ahead of evolving attack methods while supporting long-term business resilience.Visit Radware Website.

Ting-Wei Hsieh (CHT Security Co)As detection and response toolsets are actively being developed and deployed on common Windows and Linux devices, edge devices remain largely reliant on system configurations and human intervention as their main defence. Nevertheless, nation-state attackers have increasingly been targeting public-facing appliances as initial entry points to gain footholds in victims environments and their tactics have shown great effectiveness.In early 2024, we uncovered an attack that lasted several years against a high-tier local cloud service provider. The techniques and novel samples we found show both the efforts attackers have made to understand commercial edge-device systems and the great lengths attackers are willing to go to reduce the chance of being detected. Although the concept of magic packets is nothing new, we discovered that attackers have been moving from static magic signatures and hard-coded C2 configurations to fully dynamic and more versatile magic packets to evade network-based detections.In this talk, I will share how security appliance mishaps may lead to attacks of such a scale and will focus on the evasion techniques observed in this attack, such as the usage of magic packets with no static signature and utilizing living-off-the-land (LotL) tools to extract sensitive data on compromised edge devices. In addition, the session will present our insights to detect and mitigate persistent installations emerging from this attack and some general recommendations or mitigation methods for both service providers and public-facing appliance suppliers.For details please visit Virus Bulletin Website.

Turning Spam Filters Into Your Greatest Enemy: Intrusions Via RCEs in E-Mail Spam FiltersTing-Wei Hsieh CHT Security Co., Ltd.Kai-Ching Wang CHT Security Co., Ltd.In the last couple of years, APTs targeting critical organizations in Taiwan have exploited multiple 0-day and N-day vulnerabilities in popular local email server software. Advertised as advanced defenses that stop APT attacks, such filters are supposed to check the contents and attachments of all inbound emails and block potential threats. In contrast to the claims, those spam filters became the very entry point of several high-profile intrusions, leading to zero-interaction compromises of high-value targets. From command injection to digital cluster bombs combining automated shellcode injection and a kernel module backdoor, attackers were able to get full control of a target system with just a single crafted email.In this session, I will share cases of real-world APT intrusions via exploiting vulnerabilities in email server software from different vendors, along with sophisticated malware used in the attacks. I will also share our recommendations to mitigate such risks for vendors alike. Our findings suggest that nation-state actors have already gained a comprehensive understanding of the inner workings of popular email server software in target regions, marking the importance of security awareness in the development of such public-facing software.Ting-Wei HsiehTing-Wei is a malware analyst at CHT Security Co., Ltd, working primarily in the incident response team that constantly deals with APT attacks and novel malware. As a self-taught reverse engineer, Ting-Wei is interested in Windows static and dynamic malware analysis, x64 obfuscation, packing and evasion techniques.Kai-Ching WangKai-Ching Wang (Keniver) is a Senior Security Researcher at CHT Security. He specializes in red team assessments and comprehensive security reviews, with a current focus on hacking IoT devices and cloud-native infrastructure.

To preempt malicious threat actors, businesses are proactively retaining professional cybersecurity firms to uncover vulnerabilities and remediate security gaps, triggering substantial growth in demand for penetration testing and red team services.With the widespread adoption of AI technologies and applications across industries, AI governance has become a paramount executive agenda. In response, CHT Security introduced its self-developed governance platform, AI Archway. Operating via browser extensions or endpoint agents combined with an AI security gateway, the system establishes a robust AI governance framework that prevents sensitive data exfiltration.The platform supports data tokenization (anonymization) before sending requests to external public AI services, and seamlessly performs detokenization upon receiving responses to restore original business workflows. Additionally, AI Archway acts as a real-time guardrail by filtering harmful responses generated by external LLMs, enforcing token usage quotas, and preventing prompt injections or jailbreak bypasses. Through an intuitive management dashboard, enterprises can continuously monitor regulatory compliance and evaluate operational risks associated with AI deployment.Jeff Hung, General Manager of CHT Security, stated, AI Archway functions much like an airport security checkpoint system. It encourages people to travel abroad freely, but ensures prohibited items are restricted during departure and agricultural or biosecurity hazards are intercepted upon arrival. Only with such an effective management architecture can enterprises achieve both operational efficiency and robust security. Our objective with AI Archway is to enable safe AI adoption by empowering organizations with four core capabilities: Visibility, Defensibility, Contextual Awareness, and Governability.Via the dashboard, organizations can gain complete insight into corporate AI usage patterns and detect unauthorized Shadow AI risks. The platform supports major AI platforms, ensuring that employees view unmasked original content while external AI models process masked tokens, balancing productivity with data privacy. It also employs customized Data Loss Prevention (DLP) models trained on enterprise-specific confidential data to identify trade secrets, manufacturing processes, proprietary formulas, and legal contractscatering to demanding sectors including finance, healthcare, government, semiconductor, and high-tech industries. By aligning decision-making and auditing workflows with regulatory frameworks such as GDPR and the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), the system automatically generates compliance and risk assessment reports to help enterprises enforce AI governance.Directly addressing the inelastic demand for AI governance, CHT Security expects AI Archway alongside its specialized AI cybersecurity solutions to inject sustained growth momentum into company operations moving forward.
