When I started Resurface, my core thesis was that web and API security brought unique requirements requiring purpose-built data systems. Using Splunk at scale for API monitoring was/is prohibitively expensive. Using Hadoop or Kafka requires a nerd army to run at any scale. Few data platforms include a mature web or API monitoring model, so this has to be custom-overlaid at significant expense.

Decree No. 2009-834 established ANSSI (Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d’information) as the National Cybersecurity Agency of France in 2009. In 2013, Article 22 of the Military Programming Law defined ANSSI’s functions and responsibilities, giving the agency regulatory and enforcement powers. Further, ANSSI is France’s primary point of contact with the larger European Union (EU) Network and Information Systems (NIS) Directive, with Decree No.

As a kid, keeping a secret meant not telling anyone else information that a friend chose to share with you and trusted you to protect. In the digital era, protecting customer and employee sensitive data works similarly. Although establishing privacy controls and maintaining data protection are more difficult when managing complex IT environments, the principles underlying your data protection initiatives remain the same.

When you engage in a security incident investigation, you need to quickly sift through vast quantities of data. In that moment, tracking your attacker, containing the attack, and identifying the root cause are the activities that matter most. However, in an attack’s aftermath, the digital recovery process and post-incident paperwork becomes your new nightmare.

You’ve probably heard the Boy Scout motto, “be prepared.” In his 1908 handbook, Scouting for Boys, the author explained, “it shows you how you must be prepared for what is possible, not only what is probable.” Your cyber incident response plan is how you prepare for a possible, and, also in today’s world, probable security incident or data breach. Unfortunately, since every organization is different, no single plan will work for everyone.

Over twenty years ago, a series of corporate financial scandals set off a chain reaction, culminating in criminal convictions and new legislation. After uncovering accounting fraud across public companies like Enron, WorldCom, and Tyco, the US Congress enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX).

Investigating a security event is the less glamorous version of an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Without the snazzy, high-end, mostly-fictitious technology that television shows you, your actual digital forensics investigation usually involves an arduous process of reviewing technical data and looking for the breadcrumbs a malicious actor left behind.

Despite implementing cybersecurity administrative and technical risk mitigation control, companies still experience cybersecurity incidents and data breaches. Not every security incident ends with data exfiltration. An organization that can contain the attacker early in the kill chain can prevent data loss and reduce the incident’s impact.

David Bowie once sang, “ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange.” While the changes to ISO 27000-series may look strange, they’re primarily a configuration and modernization of the same standard you already know. The standard’s format looks entirely different, but most of your current controls will remain the same.

Welcome to our technical blog, where we’ll be diving into the world of Graylog and how you can secure your Graylog Server with Transport Layer Security (TLS). As an admin or a tech-savvy user, you know the importance of protecting your Graylog Server and the logs it manages from unauthorized access.
