What is a SOC in cyber security? Definition & Meaning

You may have heard people talking about SOC recently, especially now with the increase in the use of digital assets and remote applications. In these cases, SOC enables organisations to bolster their security posture and be more proactive in detecting and preventing threats. But what is SOC in cyber security?

Apache Superset - Database Data Retrieval Through Improper Error Handling

Anastasios Stasinopoulos from OBRELA LABS Team discovered a security flaw that affects Apache Superset (before 3.0.4, from 3.1.0 before 3.1.1), an open-source modern data exploration and visualization platform.

Comparing the tools used in MDR

Cyberthreats are advancing, and so must your security tools. Threats such as malware and denial-of-service attacks have been around since the earliest days of the internet, and the cybersecurity industry has created generations of threat detection and response tools to identify and remediate them. As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve and advance, the tools to identify and stop them need to evolve as well. The latest trend is to consolidate security tools onto a framework that incorporates AI to share information and speed threat identification.

MDR utilizes advanced security tools to extend defenses

Making the right choice on how best to detect, respond to and manage security threats is more important-and more complicated-than ever. To meet the demands of digital transformation and remote work, which have expanded the attack surface available to threat actors, organizations are scouring the market for new solutions that go beyond basic managed detection and response (MDR). They require a more versatile and flexible service that incorporates leading-edge tools such as XDR, MXDR, SIEM and SOAR.
