If you follow me on Medium or Twitter, you may already be aware. Still, if you don’t (I assure you that you’re missing out), I have been researching several technologies in preparation for an OPSEC/Anti-OSINT tool that I am crafting. I am using this tool as a means to push myself harder to learn something new that I can apply professionally. I am also doing this to be able to make a positive difference in the world.
As a result of this ever-increasing volume and sophistication, SOC’s and SIEM’s using traditional, reactive measures are overwhelmed. More and more organizations are turning to detection and response solutions which combine threat intelligence and cyber expertise, to uncover and remediate threats as early as possible, and also to mitigate risk of future attacks.

For the majority of the time, I’m working with legacy environments where some old technologies might be phasing out and newer ones joining the mix of solutions.
The life sciences industry is undergoing major transitions. Pharma, biotech, and medical device companies generate more data than ever and require higher processing power for clinical trials, gene sequencing and more. Many life sciences organizations are transitioning legacy technology stacks to the cloud, which promises the ability to accelerate processes, mobile collaboration, and strong security. To further complicate matters, there is increasing pressure to maintain regulatory compliance.
The New York Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security Act (SHIELD Act) or Senate Bill 5575, was enacted on July 25, 2019 as an amendment to the New York State Information Security Breach and Notification Act.

Today’s banks and financial institutions closely cooperate with various third-party vendors. While such cooperation brings a lot of benefits, it also raises some significant concerns regarding the security of the data and resources these vendors have access to.
