The healthcare industry is transforming with the integration of ground-breaking technologies capable of storing patient records electronically. The shift to the digitization of systems makes a variety of healthcare solutions possible that never could have been imagined — but it also puts healthcare data at risk to hackers and cyber attacks. In answer to this problem, blockchain technologies are emerging as a viable option for the storage and updating of electronic health records (EHRs).

There’s no doubt that the adoption of public cloud deployments has accelerated for most organizations recently. In fact, according to metrics released by Oracle recently, nearly half (49%) of all respondents to the Oracle and KPMG Cloud Threat Report expect to store most of their data in a public cloud by the end of 2020. Effectively managing the security and compliance of public cloud deployments can be tricky for many organizations.

The heart of any detection and response solution is the ability to collect events from the environment, perform corrective response actions, and integrate with customer workflows. Today, we’re proud to announce the launch of a complete redesign of the user interface for these third party integrations.

The way we shop for groceries has changed because of the unusual circumstances the world is in today. Instead of spending as much time physically in the store selecting our own items, we now have the option to order online and arrange for a time to pick them up, or better yet, have them delivered. Of course, there may be a few items you’d prefer to go in and see in person, like fresh produce.

5G is here and changing the way business is done. With this comes an increase of devices to take advantage of low latency and high bandwidth that will allow businesses to truly transform. Because of those devices, the attack surface is also rapidly expanding and will increase opportunities for bad actors. This new wave of endpoints presents both a business opportunity and a business risk. The need for proper endpoint protection is more important today than ever before!

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions have been the foundation of enterprises’ security operations and threat detection & response. Even though USM Anywhere has many key SIEM features, it is much more than a SIEM. Why? To perform threat detection, SIEMs and purpose-built threat consoles collect data from security devices. These include network firewalls, endpoint devices, & vulnerability managers to directly from the cloud.

Cybersecurity risk management is the practice of prioritizing cybersecurity defensive measures based on the potential adverse impact of the threats they're designed to address. Establishing a risk management approach to cybersecurity investment acknowledges that no organization can completely eliminate every system vulnerability or block every cyber-attack.

The cybersecurity industry is increasingly producing enormous amounts of raw threat data. The sheer volume of information threat researchers must sift through makes it difficult to collect, analyze, and research that data in a timely manner. This in turn limits their ability to understand what data is valid and useful and whether threat artifacts will result in legitimate threat indicators.

One of the requests we often get is how to securely forward logs to the USM sensor. To forward logs securely, the one component that is required is an SSL certificate. By default, USM has a self-signed certificate that will allow sending secure logs over port 6514. Some platforms, such as Palo Alto Networks, require publicly signed certificates by default. In this blog, we will walk through the process of generating a publicly signed certificate for use with USM.
