The SIEM market is in flux. Mergers, acquisitions, and vendors leaving the space are creating uncertainty for organizations that rely on SIEMs as the cornerstone of their security operations. If your organization is feeling the ripple effects of this consolidation, it’s time for a SIEM checkup. This means critically examining your current SIEM stack and vendor relationship to ensure they’re still serving your evolving security needs.

Cyberattacks by hacking groups using ransomware and other tactics dominate the headlines, but the risks posed by individuals within an organization can be just as, if not more, damaging. CISA defines an insider threat as the possibility that authorized personnel will use their access, either intentionally or unintentionally, to harm an organization’s mission, resources, information, systems, or other assets.

Our world is more digitally connected than ever, including the critical infrastructure systems we rely on: power grids, water treatment plants, transportation networks, communication systems, emergency services, and hospitals. A successful attack on critical infrastructure can have dire consequences, ranging from widespread power outages and contaminated water supplies to economic downturns and societal disruption. Some of those consequences have come to fruition in recent years.
