Security teams are being prevented from doing their best work. While understaffing and low budgets have always been challenges for any type of team, security teams are uniquely affected by repetitive, manual tasks, which in turn keep them from working on higher-impact projects that contribute to their organization’s overall security posture.
We are a couple of days late with the developer roll up for February but it is only because we are so busy! This is a huge update despite it being for the shortest month of the year, and we are not done yet: expect some even bigger announcements throughout March.
It’s that time of the year again. The annual and dreaded IT and security audit is ramping up. You just received the documentation list and need to pull everything together. You have too much real work to do, but you need to prove your compliance posture to this outsider. Using log management for compliance monitoring and documentation can make audits less stressful and time-consuming.
ITOps, SecOps, and DevOps may sound similar. Indeed, they are similar - to a degree. But they have different areas of focus, different histories, and different operational paradigms.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) apps have become essential to how most of us run our organizations and stay productive — especially over the last two years. On any given day, you’re likely messaging colleagues using Slack or Teams, sharing files with partners from Google Drive or Microsoft SharePoint, or working in Workday or Salesforce to perform an HR- or sales-related business process.
The current wave of digital transformation that has brought more and more businesses online has also introduced an unwelcome side effect: the surface area for attacks has ballooned. As individuals and businesses migrated their sensitive transactions into cloud applications, cloud service providers became responsible for providing high-fidelity data security.

An attacker with compromised credentials too frequently has free reign to move about an organization and carefully plan their attack before they strike. This week Falcon Complete™, CrowdStrike’s leading managed detection and response (MDR) service, announced a new managed service capability that once again sets the standard for MDR.
