In the age of the digital world, owning a Security Operations Center (SOC) is vital for the cybersecurity of every organization. However, it is not necessarily true that every SOC is effective against cyber threats and attacks. The main reason behind this fact is a lack of standardized SOC frameworks. SOC framework requires a document to be designed to provide guidelines, requirements, and specifications in order to support cybersecurity operations effectively.
The amount of APTs, ransomware and phishing attacks have been growing steadily for the last few years. As a result, cyber security professionals have been looking for better methods to protect organizations. In this article, we will discuss one of those newly popularized methods: cyber security ontology.
The need for a mature cybersecurity process in today’s corporate environment is becoming ever more critical. As hackers are becoming more and more sophisticated, so our management and defense systems should also be strengthened accordingly. While there are many components that make up a solid security program within an organization, today, we will shed a light on one essential of these components, which is a vulnerability management maturity model.
Integration is one of the most critical features that every security product should have. But, unfortunately, this is not a case when it comes to too many traditional security tools. The organizations that were using SIEM with having integration capability remained secure to a large extent. For example, an effective SIEM can inject Threat Intelligence Feeds (TIF) from multiple different sources.
NERC is a non-profit organization that sets industry standards, educates and trains industry personnel and provides guidelines for grids. You can find the details on NERC and NERC reliability standards in our article. What is NERC? NERC refers to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. It is a non-profit organization whose main aim is to provide necessary regulations that reduce the risks regarding reliability and security.
Real time cyber attack maps offer us an insight on the attacks going on around the globe. They sure are eye candies, but do they have any use? Read our article to learn more. Although their extent, kind and intent changes, one thing about cyber attacks remain the same: They never stop. At any given moment, there are hundreds of cyber attacks happening.
Like the previous years, 2019 also witnessed the surge in data breaches and cyber-attacks. However, organizations having SIEM or/and SOAR system in place were better than those using traditional security tools. The cyber-attacks in 2019 were mostly related to financial crimes, supply chain attacks, phishing exploits, state-sponsored attacks, Grid attacks, health sector attacks, and attacks on IoT devices. Cybersecurity skills shortage was also one of the major concerns in 2019.
Data visualization techniques provide organizations with strong allies in their fight against cyber threats. In this article, we took a closer look at the importance and techniques of cyber data visualization. Cybersecurity has been gaining more and more importance due to the increasing number of cyber attacks and hackers threatening organizations of every size. As a result, new methods and approaches regarding cybersecurity are being discussed.
Today’s cyber threat landscape is diverse – new threats are emerging every day and cyber criminals are being sophisticated in terms of their covert nature and ability to launch attacks in massive frequency with minimal chances of detection.
As the nature and scope of cyber attacks change and evolve in time, organizations need new and improved methods like real time forensic analysis to keep their systems and networks safe. Read our article to learn more.
