Properly analyzing the massive amounts of data created by network access and the associated security tools has become a very tedious chore. Today’s cybersecurity professionals are seeking ways to better deal with the massive influx of information so that they can make intelligent choices when it comes to the cybersecurity posture of their networks. Selecting the proper tools is an important task which merits investigation.

For cloud-native organizations — those begun in the past decade or so — obtaining critical services from other cloud-native companies makes sense. After all, the whole point of being cloud native is to avoid physical infrastructure wherever possible. You want to focus on your business, not managing the systems and infrastructures that support it. That strategy applies to your logging and security information and event management (SIEM) solution, as well.

A security and information event management (SIEM) tool can be a valuable component of a mature security strategy. Indeed, effective SIEM solutions have been available for well over a decade.

Security operations is now a critical business function tasked with securing digital transformation initiatives, to effectively mitigate evolving attacks and expanding attack surfaces, handle complexity and tool proliferation while teams are continuing to be virtual and distributed.

Active Directory is a popular technology used in many organizations to handle their user management, authentication and authorization. The fact that it’s so dominant and so central to the IT infrastructure makes it a key component for security monitoring. It’s also a popular target for malicious actors, as compromising Active Directory accounts gives them access to many resources.

CCPA, the recent legal privacy innovation in the US, has introduced a lot of requirements for online businesses. We have previously covered the principle of accountability in both CCPA and GDPR, and how an audit log of all data-related activities as well as handling user rights’ requests is important for CCPA compliance. But we sometimes get the question “Is your SIEM going to help us with CCPA compliance?” or even “Is SIEM required for CCPA compliance?”.
