Security teams are faced with relentless cyberattacks, and they cannot engineer defenses fast enough. SOC teams face limited visibility, insufficient context, and the inability to identify the threats that matter. Analysts are even more burned out, switching from tool to tool, frantically trying to make sense of what they are seeing.

Last time we looked at The US National Security Strategy Pillar 1: Defend Critical Infrastructure.

Preventing the attacks in Pillar 1 would not be necessary if the attackers were taken off the board.

Detecting and remediating security threats is a constantly evolving concern for modern DevSecOps and security operations center (SOC) teams. Moreover, manually investigating and responding to vulnerabilities and threats is time-consuming, laborious, and knowledge-intensive.

This is the first post in a series on the pillars outlined in the new US National Cybersecurity Strategy. I review each pillar in turn, and then discuss how services such as Devo can help address the challenges outlined in that pillar.

When ChatGPT debuted in November 2022, it ushered in new points of view and sentiments around AI adoption. Workers from nearly every industry started to reimagine how they could accomplish daily tasks and execute their work — and the cybersecurity industry was no exception. Like shadow IT, new rogue AI tools — meaning AI tools that employees are adopting unbeknownst to the organization they work for — can pose security risks to your organization.
