Anyone who’s ever misplaced their wallet knows that horrible moment where their stomach drops, the beads of perspiration begin to form on their forehead, and they start mulling over worst-case scenarios.

In a company’s IT environment, a missing device or shadow IT represents that missing wallet.

“History repeatedly has demonstrated that inferior forces can win when leaders are armed with accurate intelligence.” – Central Intelligence Agency; Intelligence in War In the ever-changing landscape of global cybersecurity, the boundaries between traditional military intelligence and cybersecurity are increasingly blurred. At the heart of this convergence lies the science of intelligence analysis—a process fundamental to both realms.

We’re extremely excited to announce the availability of the EventSentry v5.1, which will detect threats and suspicious behavior more effectively – while also providing users with additional reports and dashboards for CMMC and TISAX compliance.

As cloud applications and services gain prominence amongst organizations, adversaries are evolving their toolset to target these cloud networks. The surge in remote work and teleconferencing presents unprecedented opportunities for nefarious activities. Enter the MITRE ATT&CK Framework, also known as a MITRE ATT&CK Matrix—a treasure trove for defending cloud infrastructure and on-premises infrastructure against the newest adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

Cybersecurity is never boring. In recent months, we’ve seen major cyberattacks on Las Vegas casinos and expanded SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules are top of mind. Is it any wonder we consistently recommend taking a proactive approach to secure your environment with a defense-in-depth strategy and appropriate monitoring? News outlets reported the recent compromise at the Identity and Authentication (IAM) firm, Okta.

On Monday, October 30, President Biden signed the Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence — the longest in history at 117 pages.

This landmark order pulls together a number of priorities that influence not just the AI industry, but also society at large.

SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems play a crucial role in modern cybersecurity frameworks. They collate log and event data from an array of sources within an organization’s network, facilitating real-time analysis and long-term storage of this crucial information to uphold security standards. A core component of SIEM’s effectiveness lies in its correlation rules, which are designed to detect specific patterns or anomalies that might indicate a security issue.

In the realm of cybersecurity, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems are indispensable tools for monitoring and analyzing an organization’s security posture in real-time. However, one of the hurdles that security professionals often encounter is the prevalence of false positives which can overwhelm analysts and obscure genuine threats.

A SOC analyst role is equal parts fulfilling and overwhelming. On one hand, the landscape is dynamic and the work is critical to protecting organizations. On the other, the weight of continual responsibility can lead to stress, anxiety, and cybersecurity burnout. Understanding the importance of your mental health is crucial to maintaining productivity and preventing cybersecurity burnout.

In a significant move to empower organizations in bolstering their security infrastructure, UTMstack has announced the commercialization of its Correlation Engine and Software Development Kit (SDK) under a commercial license. This strategic initiative paves the way for organizations aiming to develop their own Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) or Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions by leveraging the state-of-the-art features embedded in the UTMstack’s platform.
