This three-part blog series will explore threat-based methodology and how it benefits every company with a network. The series leverages the analysis presented by the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Program Management Office (PMO) in conjunction with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
The security operations center (SOC) plays a critical role in any enterprise’s effort to protect its data from rapidly evolving cybersecurity threats. However, for a variety of reasons revealed in the 2021 Devo SOC Performance ReportTM — which is based on the results of a survey of more than 1,000 security practitioners — organizations are frustrated with their SOC’s lack of effectiveness in performing its vital work.
When it comes to maintaining your car’s performance, getting regular wheel alignments can prevent uneven braking, reduced fuel efficiency, and accelerated tire wear. For all four tires to work together, traveling in the same direction, proper alignment is vital. So, too, it is for the modern SOC. Or at least it should be.
I joined Devo in May of 2021 to lead the company’s FedRAMP efforts. After a lot of work from many talented, experienced people, we have reached our first public milestone. Devo is now officially listed as “In-Process” on the FedRAMP Marketplace! First, I want to thank the Small Business Administration (SBA) for being our FedRAMP sponsor. We couldn’t have achieved this initial milestone without their support.
Gary Pelczar, Devo’s vice president of global alliances, has been named a 2022 Channel Chief by CRN. Gary and his team launched Devo Drive, the company’s partner program for resellers, MSSPs and global systems integrators in 2021. In this post Gary shares his thoughts about the growth of Devo Drive, the value Devo delivers to partners, and what lies ahead.
In our increasingly cloud-centric world, security teams are under pressure to perform effective cloud security monitoring to defend against fast-moving threats. That’s why Devo is pleased to announce the availability of approximately 50 cloud security detections for Amazon Web Services (AWS) to our Security Operations application. The new detections enable organizations to monitor their cloud infrastructure, look for areas of risk, or respond to threats as they emerge.
In virtually every industry, as well as in life in general, there is information presented as fact that very often is not based on actual truth or science. Some myths need to be dispelled not just because they are erroneous, but because, in the case of cybersecurity, can pose serious threats to the security of an organization, its people and its data.
At Devo, we take pride in providing our customers with innovations that enable them to derive tremendous value from our Platform and applications as they work to keep their organizations secure. That ongoing commitment is embodied in our newest offering — Devo Exchange.
Organizations cannot wonder if a data breach will happen — they must prepare for when that day comes. Early detection is key to mitigating an attack when it inevitably occurs, but how can CISOs ensure their teams can sift through all the noise they encounter in the SOC to spot malicious activity? Security information and event management (SIEM) technology can play a critical role in empowering your security team to detect potential indicators of compromise faster.
In 2008, Data Privacy Day started as an extension of Europe’s Data Protection Day, which commemorates the signing of Convention 108. This year, the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) established Data Privacy Week to empower individuals and businesses to respect privacy, safeguard data and enable trust. Plus, data privacy is so important that it needs more than just a single day of discussion!
