The Art of Team Building: Blueprints from the Black Hat NOC

It has been a distinct honor to be a part of the Corelight team that helped defend this year’s Black Hat events. I started the event season in the Network Operations Center (NOC) at Black Hat Asia, and then capped it off at Black Hat in Las Vegas. In this blog I’ll share my experience and learnings from participating in both NOCs.

Black Hat NOC USA 2023: Five takeaways for SOC teams

During this year’s Black Hat in Las Vegas, I learned (or was reminded of) many lessons working alongside my Corelight colleagues and Black Hat Network Operations Center (NOC) teammates from Arista, Cisco, Lumen, NetWitness and Palo Alto Networks. The uniqueness of standing up a full security stack and NOC in such a short time with a team that comes together infrequently really forced me to consider how team processes and communication affect NOC/SOC efficiency and effectiveness.

Enhance your search experience within Splunk by using the Corelight App

The Corelight App for Splunk provides the foundation for organizations to boost SOC effectiveness and productivity by using Corelight data in Splunk. In this blog, I’ll walk through how the Corelight App leverages Splunk’s Common Information Model (CIM) to enhance users' search experience when they are using Corelight data.

The Importance of NDR Detection-in-Depth

Detection engineering has evolved into an art, contributing to the success rates of endpoint and network detection and response tooling capabilities. Used to effectively counter the increasing complexity of today’s cyber threat actors, high-fidelity detections can help an organization discover threats earlier, neutralizing them before further damage can occur.
