How to Get Started with a Security Data Lake

Modern SecOps teams use Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) software to aggregate security logs, detect anomalies, hunt for threats, and enable rapid incident response. While SIEMs enable accurate, near real-time detection of threats, today's SIEM solutions were never designed to handle the volume of security data organizations generate daily. As daily log ingestion grows, so do the costs of data management.

Top tips: Notorious session sniffing attacks and tips for avoiding them

In the area of monitoring and observability tools alone, 50% of companies reported having between 11 and 40 tools.

Taming Vault Sprawl with Modern Secrets Management

In this cloud, DevOps and AI era, security teams grapple with the growing challenge of shadow secrets and vault sprawl. As organizations scale, secrets management increasingly fragments. For example, Microsoft recommends using one Azure Key Vault, per application, per environment per region. Without centralized visibility, security policies and rotation control, vault sprawl leads to heightened security risk and compliance challenges.

Voices from Validate: The Role of Breach & Attack Simulation in Cybersecurity Testing

Security teams have a wide range of tools in their arsenal to combat cybersecurity threats, but the expanding attack surface and the sheer number of tools can make their jobs more difficult to manage. As we enter this new era of cybersecurity, security and risk management, leaders are focused on validating the efficacy of their security investments, improving ROI, and taking a more programmatic approach in order to enhance their efficiency.

Supply Chain Attack Fundamentals

Overview: Picture this: Your website included a 3rdparty component (such as a WordPress plug-in), and hackers used that as a backdoor to infiltrate your systems, which were secure on their own. This is a supply chain attack. Pollyfillio attack is a recent example of this where 100,000 websites were impacted last month. In this webinar, Vivekanand Gopalan (VP of Products - Indusface) and Phani Deepak Akella (VP of Marketing - Indusface) discuss strategy and tactics to protect your applications from supply chain attacks.
