SIEMs play a crucial role in the modern SOC: They allow you to collect, correlate and analyze log data and alerts for security and compliance. Yet, despite their value, SIEMs have struggled to keep up with today’s logging performance and scalability requirements. Given that adversaries are operating faster than ever, organizations must prioritize the capabilities that help them identify and respond to threats quickly.

What a time it is for data and the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), with large language models (LLMs) and artificial intelligence (AI) innovation accelerating at unprecedented speed. How quickly can the MoD take operational advantage of these advancements? Now is the time to unleash the power of data and transform how the MoD approaches cybersecurity to outpace adversaries, gain multi-domain operational efficiency, and of course, attain rapid decision-making superiority.

Personally identifiable information (PII) compliance is an ever-increasing challenge for any organization. Whether you’re in ecommerce, banking, healthcare, or other fields where data is sensitive, PII may inadvertently be captured and stored. Having structured logs enables quick identification, removal, and protection of sensitive data fields easily; but what about unstructured messages? Or perhaps call center transcriptions?

You’ve probably heard the Boy Scout motto, “be prepared.” In his 1908 handbook, Scouting for Boys, the author explained, “it shows you how you must be prepared for what is possible, not only what is probable.” Your cyber incident response plan is how you prepare for a possible, and, also in today’s world, probable security incident or data breach. Unfortunately, since every organization is different, no single plan will work for everyone.

US state and local government agencies continue to contend with a dizzyingly complex IT environment, which includes data silos, tool sprawl, rising cyber threats, and limited availability of cybersecurity experts. In response, many state CISOs are exploring a “whole-of-state” cybersecurity strategy, which aims to bolster their state’s security through centralization and collaboration.

The financial outlook for the rest of 2023 and 2024 is far from cheery, and economic uncertainty is affecting everyone and everything, including the cybersecurity sector. Security budget cuts or freezes are the course many organizations are tempted to take in this financially precarious situation. Conservative spending is a natural response to the present economic downturn and a possible recession knocking on our doors, implying fewer clients, lower profits, and higher costs.

The rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity is witnessing the genesis of new paradigms, redefining the ways we perceive threat detection and response. Traditional approaches to cybersecurity are proving less effective against the sophistication of modern cyber threats. Among the many possible solutions, the integration of Threat Intelligence (TI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands as an impressive contender, aiming to set a new standard in the industry.

Over twenty years ago, a series of corporate financial scandals set off a chain reaction, culminating in criminal convictions and new legislation. After uncovering accounting fraud across public companies like Enron, WorldCom, and Tyco, the US Congress enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX).

The Business Intelligence Group announced the winners of the Fortress Award 2023 on May 31. We are thrilled to share that ManageEngine AD360 stood out amongst the competition, earning recognition in the Authentication and Identity category. The Fortress Award is a prestigious accolade in the cybersecurity space, and it recognizes outstanding achievements and innovations in the fight against cyberthreats.

Given the increasing frequency, tempo, and sophistication of cyber attacks, it's more important than ever that organizations take a proactive approach to protecting their sensitive data and assets. One of the most critical elements of effective cybersecurity is openness. An open approach to cybersecurity means being transparent, sharing knowledge, and collaborating to build more robust defenses against threats.
