Cyber threats are relentless, sophisticated, and growing. To stay ahead, you can no longer treat threat intelligence as an optional tool—it’s the backbone of a proactive, defense-ready strategy. Threat intelligence feeds bring crucial insights to security teams, from high-level trends to detailed indicators of compromise (IoCs). But no single feed can capture every potential threat. Threat landscapes evolve rapidly and adversaries employ diverse techniques and targets.

As small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) across Asia adopt cloud technologies to accelerate growth, securing your cloud infrastructure becomes a significant challenge. The complexities of managing cloud environments, regulatory compliance, and ensuring real-time threat detection require robust solutions that are both scalable and cost-effective.

It wasn’t too many years ago that only large-scale organizations and enterprises were compelled to worry about cybersecurity. They were the primary targets for malicious actors, and so they seemed to be the only ones thinking about defense. But just like most things, that has completely changed. Small and medium-sized businesses are just as vulnerable to cyberattacks. Without the size and resources to bring security in-house, most turn to managed security service providers (MSSPs) for help.

Palo Alto Networks acquired IBM QRadar SaaS assets, leaving several organizations in limbo and uncertain about the future of their security information and event management (SIEM). Security teams grapple with a complex and potentially disruptive transition as Palo Alto Networks pushes and even mandates migration to its relatively new XSIAM platform.

As budget cycles increasingly force teams to tighten their belts, proving the value of vital technology is key. It’s not enough to showcase how the security operations center (SOC) is improving security posture and defending against threats, you also need to highlight how this boosts ROI. As highlighted in an IDC webinar and white paper, organizations using Sumo Logic have experienced an exceptional return on investment and a rapid payback period.

You wouldn’t drive a car that hasn’t been serviced in a decade. So why are you still trusting a legacy SIEM solution? The world of cybersecurity is in a constant state of flux, and your security information and event management (SIEM) needs to keep up. If you’re not regularly reassessing it, you might as well roll out the red carpet for hackers. Let’s discuss when and why you should seriously consider giving your SIEM a much-needed check-up.

When workloads moved to the cloud, a huge burden was lifted from the enterprise in infrastructure and operational overhead. This transition also brought with it the “shared responsibility” model, where cloud providers took on much of the responsibility previously relegated to expensive engineering teams.

Opinions regarding artificial intelligence (AI) range from fears of Skynet taking over to hope regarding medical advancements enabled by AI models. Regardless of where you sit on this spectrum of anxiety and hype, it is evident that the AI epoch is upon us.

We’ve seen the movies where the character needs to get out of a jam or needs to get somewhere in a hurry, so they mash the big button of Nitrous Oxide and boom they are off! Fast and the Furious and Boss Level are the two movies that come to mind. So, how does this relate to a SIEM or SIEM rules? Sit down, buckle up, and let’s go for a ride.

How many times can we say, “It’s been a busy week for the security industry,” before it becomes cliche? We recently discussed changes in the SIEM market, with mergers and acquisitions disrupting the traditional SIEM vendor landscape and XDR vendors introducing new SIEM solutions. This week, we continue to see a range of mixed messages from the market around the future of XDR and SIEM.
