The cybersecurity industry is more well-informed than most, but even so, misconceptions arise and spread, helped along by the fact that the rise in cybersecurity incidents has led to substantial “pop culture” intrigue with all things cybersecurity. One of the more harmful of these misconceptions is the conflation of “hacker” and “attacker,” terms which are treated as interchangeable. They’re not.
CloudFabrix is enhancing its AIOps platform with native Observability and AI at the edge capabilities to bridge the gap between Observability and AIOps solutions.

How many APIs does your organization rely on? A 2020 study by Slashdata found that 89% of developers use APIs, and the vast majority are using third-party APIs. These numbers aren’t unique to specific markets either. Regardless whether you are a software-first company, or offering a more tangible service, APIs are a vital part of modern infrastructures. Relying on APIs saves time, resources, and allows businesses to experiment in ways that otherwise would be hard to justify.
If a project or initiative is going to be successful, it needs a plan spelling out what to do and how to do it. But that’s not enough. Somebody, or a group of somebodies, has to be in charge of getting it done. They have to own it.

As Denmark’s largest power, utility and telecommunications company servicing 1.5 million customers, Norlys understands the need for fast response to security alerts. When the company first started, the Norlys security team built their own log analytics and incident response capabilities from the ground up.

Organization’s today host a wide range of information that, due to its external value to competitors, nation-states, or cybercriminals, needs to be properly protected.

Even though SecTor had to be entirely online this year due to our unusual international circumstances, there have been plenty of excellent talks from many experienced cybersecurity professionals. The talks took place over the course of two days, October 21st and 22nd. Last time I covered the talks I attended on day one. Interestingly enough, the talks all had to do with threat detection and analysis. Maybe that’s just what I’m fixated on these days.
