Elastic Security 8.7 helps security practitioners eliminate alert fatigue, reduce MTTR, and better secure cloud environments through integrated SIEM, cloud security, and endpoint security. This release includes the following new features that bring efficacy and efficiency to the modern security operations center (SOC): Security operations centers use SIEM, EDR, and cloud security solutions to detect malicious activity by analyzing their security-related events and information. . .

In cybersecurity as in sports, teamwork makes the dream work. In a world where security analysts can feel constantly bombarded by threat actors, banding together to share information and strategies is increasingly important. Over the last few years, security operations center (SOC) analysts started sharing open source Sigma rules to create and share detections that help them level the playing field.

Cloud environments, in all their dynamic complexity, demand careful monitoring by DevOps and security teams. But the sheer abundance of telemetry data associated with the thousands of resources, users, and roles that comprise these environments can make monitoring a formidable task, causing security risks and other issues to be all too easily overlooked.

Data’s role in business processes continues to evolve. Today, organizations collect, store, process, and transmit more personal data than ever before, and legislative bodies respond by updating privacy laws. In 2016, Turkey passed the first iteration of its Personal Data Protection Law number 6698 (PDPL), which also established the Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurumu (KVKK), the country’s data protection authority.

Due to economic pressures, staffing reductions, and lack of available talent, CISOs today are facing extreme pressure to do more with less. And retaining your best employees during tough times is becoming a major challenge across industries. Research at Devo shows SOC analysts are feeling stressed over too much work and not enough resources. In fact, more than 71% of SOC professionals we surveyed said they’re likely to quit their job because of information overload and lack of tools.

It’s hard to go a day without some headline touting how generative AI is transforming the future of work. And this sentiment certainly rings true in the security industry as security operations centers (SOCs) continue to mature their security posture with automation so that they can protect their enterprise and customer data. But how are leaders and teams feeling about the progress of AI adoption and how the tools are being used?

LimaCharlie offers many of the capabilities of a security information and event management (SIEM) solution, although it is not a SIEM. In this article, we’ll talk about LimaCharlie vs traditional SIEMs—and explain how our platform can be used to reduce or replace SIEM usage and help cybersecurity teams save money.

Migrating to a new security information and event management (SIEM) solution can feel like a daunting task, like moving to a new house. Over the years, a lot gets accumulated and sometimes is forgotten until found in a corner. This blog identifies steps you can take to reduce the pain typically associated with a migration, tools that can help along the way, and questions you should ask during each phase of a migration.

A lot has changed since Sumo Logic last gave our two cents on how to secure Office 365. In the meantime, Office 365 has become Microsoft 365 (M365), and Sumo has continued evolving and expanding its security offering. Today’s threat actor is adept at compromising M365 accounts through various methods. Stealing credentials through phishing email campaigns and brute-force attacks has become commonplace.
