Your antivirus protects your workstation from malware, but how do you protect your business from Advanced Persistent Threats?

As small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) across Asia adopt cloud technologies to accelerate growth, securing your cloud infrastructure becomes a significant challenge. The complexities of managing cloud environments, regulatory compliance, and ensuring real-time threat detection require robust solutions that are both scalable and cost-effective.

Windows event logs are a key source of important information about your Windows environments, including detailed records of user activities, system performance, and potential security issues. However, with the sheer volume of logs modern environments generate, it can be overwhelming for security teams to efficiently detect, triage, and respond to threats in real time.

CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM enhances security operations by integrating data, AI, workflow automation and threat intelligence into a single platform with a unified console and a lightweight endpoint agent. We continue to innovate in next-gen SIEM to power SOC operations, most recently with a series of product updates announced at Fal.Con 2024. But we’re not stopping there.

It’s no coincidence that Graylog 6.1 is making its debut right before Halloween. This release is a true behemoth, designed to tackle some of the longest-standing and most challenging issues in Security Event and Information Management (SIEM). Packed with innovations, Graylog 6.1 is here to change the game.

It wasn’t too many years ago that only large-scale organizations and enterprises were compelled to worry about cybersecurity. They were the primary targets for malicious actors, and so they seemed to be the only ones thinking about defense. But just like most things, that has completely changed. Small and medium-sized businesses are just as vulnerable to cyberattacks. Without the size and resources to bring security in-house, most turn to managed security service providers (MSSPs) for help.

In today’s increasingly complex and evolving threat landscape, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) have become the nerve center for protecting critical national and local government assets. Building and maintaining an in-house SOC is often beyond the reach of many government agencies due to budget constraints, the need for skilled personnel, and the rapid growth of cyber threats.

Mitigating risk based on the threat landscape is a complicated yet essential part of being a CISO, which is why threat reports like the 2024 Elastic Global Threat Report are a huge help for me. In addition to providing an in-depth understanding of what’s happening, threat reports also offer a quick overview of what needs to be explained or communicated to the rest of the organization.

One of the most powerful weapons at an attacker’s disposal is the use of specialized tools designed to compromise network security. Mimikatz, BloodHound, and winPEAS are just a few examples of tools that can wreak havoc in your environment if left undetected. In this article, we’ll explore how malicious actors can exploit specialized tools to launch sophisticated attacks.
