Both Veriato and Teramind offer user activity monitoring, user behavior analytics, employee productivity, insider threat detection, and cybersecurity solutions. However, Teramind offers more features, such as advanced endpoint data protection, comprehensive employee monitoring, user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), a wide range of insider threat detection solutions, and business process optimization (BPO).

Confucius once said famously, “A man who does not plan long ahead will find trouble at his door.” No truer words could be spoken about today’s cyberthreat landscape. According to Cybersecurity Magazine, ransomware attacks are predicted to surge from occurring every 11 seconds now, to every two seconds over the next decade. As such, business continuity planning has never been more significant to individuals and organizations.

As Windows organizations migrate toward cloud-based environments, they often lose context of their full stack. In addition to securing their on-premises servers, they now need to deal with virtual servers, managed services, and platform-as-a-service offerings. Cloud-based resources require organizations to relinquish control over physical infrastructure and limit their access to underlying operating systems.

Vendor due diligence questionnaires are a type of security questionnaire for third-party vendors or service providers that are an essential part of any third-party risk management program (TPRM) program. By using a vendor due diligence questionnaire, security teams can evaluate a new vendor’s overall risk hygiene before entering into a business partnership.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) protects an organization’s most critical systems and accounts from unauthorized access, making it important to have a good PAM strategy in place. Some of the best practices to develop a good PAM strategy include implementing least privilege access, monitoring privileged accounts, adopting password security best practices, requiring multi-factor authentication and auditing privileges regularly.

How quickly a year passes. 2023 was Corelight’s first year participating in the Black Hat Network Operations Center (NOC). It was a tremendous opportunity and responsibility in which we collaborated with teams from Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Arista, Lumen, and NetWitness to keep events in Asia, Europe, and the US safe and functional for all attendees. As we speak, our team is gearing up for a repeat for Black Hat Asia 2024 in Singapore.

There were nearly 29,000 vulnerabilities published in 2023, amounting to over 3,800 more common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) being issued last year than in 2022. More troubling than the sheer volume of vulnerabilities in 2023 is that over half of them were given a CVSS score indicating high or critical severity — an increase of 57% YoY.

As the cybersecurity landscape continually evolves, SOCs must quickly identify, evaluate, and counteract cyberattacks. In the heat of a security investigation or incident response, achieving rapid visibility and rich contextual insights about the attack are not merely advantageous, but essential.

Suppose someone left their home, got in their car, and drove to the grocery store. Much like data packets that travel over Internet highways, the car will use various pathways to reach its destination; however, once the car gets to the store, a question remains: what happened between the generating point and the destination? If nothing happened, the driver (our data) traveled safely and without incident.

In today’s interconnected digital world, safeguarding sensitive data and preventing unauthorized access is vital, especially for U.S. government agencies, contractors, and other information-sharing partners that compete for Department of Defense (DoD) contracts. While many organizations that work alongside the U.S.
