NIST is to the US government what The Watcher is to the Marvel universe. In theory, it should simply observe the world around it, but in reality, it responds to evolving threats through interference. Despite the buzz around the update to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), you might find it hard to say that any compliance falls under the category of “hot.”

While grandma’s stuffing might be the best part of your holiday turkey dinner, credential stuffing attacks can be the worst part of being the person responsible for your company’s security monitoring.

The ability for your SIEM to ingest data at scale is critical, especially in a world where threats target a vast array of attack surfaces. Ensuring full visibility of all log data is paramount, and you need a SIEM that can ingest any event, in any format, to effectively hunt for threats. Remember, you can’t secure what you can’t see. Whether you’re taking a close look at your current solution or evaluating new potential vendors, here’s what to consider around SIEM data ingestion.

We’ve been talking about digital transformation for years (or even decades?), but the pace of evolution is now being catapulted forward by AI. This rapid change and innovation creates and relies upon exponential data sets. And while technology is rapidly evolving to manage and maintain these massive data sets, legacy pricing models based on data ingest volume are lagging behind, making it economically unsustainable.

With authentication, you can face serious consequences if you follow the old motto, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” From applications to APIs, authentication tells you whether the person or technology accessing a resource is legitimate. In 2017, the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP), identified broken authentication as #2 on its list of Top 10 application security threats.
