If you’re involved in IT risk or security, you’ve probably encountered BitSight. It is one of a wave of promised solutions to a growing problem: how to manage the risks posed by your IT vendors in the cloud. The legacy approach to solving this problem is a combination of spreadsheet-based vendor assessments, sporadic penetration tests and vulnerability scans. If you combine this with subjective measurement and scoring of risk, you are probably taking on a lot more risk than you should.
If you haven’t done so recently, visit the Egnyte App Store. We’ve spruced up the user interface just in time for Spring (Northern Hemisphere). Now that there are hundreds of apps working with Egnyte, we offer new tools to help you find what you’re looking for faster.
There’s much talk about the General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) taking effect on May 25 and its impact on US companies with European operations. As more and more information has been collected electronically over the years, it’s become necessary to mandate that companies better protect this information from being breached.

When I was growing up, my father enrolled me in martial arts at an early age. I liked everything about it. I liked the friends I made, I liked the sense of achievement getting the next belt, I liked breaking boards ,but more than anything, I liked to fight. Furthermore, I liked to win.

Prior to 2005, there used to be quite a debate over Security Information Management (SIM) and Security Event Management (SEM). This debate was ended for once and all by Amrit Williams and Mark Nicollet of Gartner when they defined SIEM – Security Information Event Management in 2005.
A while back I wrote up a post on the quick install of Forseti Security. I had a chance to mess around with the 2.0 version and wanted to note a few things down here and talk about how I’m trying out the idea of Security Policy as Code.
Modern log aggregation stacks including ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana), Google’s Stackdriver, or AWS Cloudwatch are great tools, but their browser-based interfaces are not for everybody. At Egnyte, we rely heavily on logs to monitor our systems and solve customer issues. Therefore, many of our engineers depend on Kibana, the ELK browser-based query tool.
