A SIEM or Security Information and Event Management is only as good as its logs. People can think of logs as the fuel for the engine. Without logs (log management), the SIEM will never be useful. Selecting the right types of logs to ingest in your SIEM is a complex undertaking.

On August 5, 2015, the British mobile phone retailer, Carphone Warehouse discovered a “sophisticated attack” on its systems, possibly compromising the personal information of 2.5 million customers and the encrypted credit card data of an additional 90,000 customers.

Applying machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to analyze files within a content repository can raise the bar on operating efficiencies and produce smarter solutions that bring “structure” to unstructured data.

"Zero Trust" refers to a network security strategy that calls for all users – internal and external – to be authenticated before gaining access to the network. Zero Trust means organizations never implicitly trust anyone with their sensitive data. Instead of using a blanket network perimeter, Zero Trust networks implement a series of micro-perimeters around data so only users with clearance to access certain data points can get to them.

Insider cyber security threats are much more prevalent than most of us realize.

In the medical community, the patient is paramount. There are countless methods employed to treat people and protect their health. But when it comes to their patients’ safety, most hospitals need a higher dosage of cyber security. Currently, health organizations are allocating less than half of what other industries budget for Information Security.

Businesses understand the importance of cyber security, and most are taking steps to ramp up their protection game. In fact, the International Data Corporation has projected worldwide spend on cyber security software, hardware, and services will reach $101.6 billion by 2020. That’s a 38% increase from the $73.7 spent in 2016. But cyber security is changing more than just budgets in the business world.

With unprecedented growth of data, larger files, and more distributed workforces, businesses are showing a strong reliance on a mix of cloud and on-premises infrastructure

DevOps and traditional security seem to be at odds with one other. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can make security a part of your DevOps process without sacrificing agility or security. First, let’s define what DevOps is. Let’s then look at how it combines with security to create DevSecOps.
