Even though the shift to the cloud has slowed recently as many businesses are moving certain workloads back on-premise, Microsoft Exchange remains one cloud-based service that most organizations continue to embrace – despite its frequent outages. This doesn’t come as a surprise, as Microsoft has successfully devolved on-prem Exchange Server – the only viable alternative – into an unfriendly dragon that even experienced sysadmins won’t touch with a 10 ft pole.

Capturing network traffic is usually done either for security reasons or to troubleshoot networking issues. But by the time you initiate a network capture (either manually or automatically) it’s often too late already – the train has already left the station. Point in case: Say your SIEM (obviously EventSentry) detects abnormal or suspicious behavior in a log and a network capture is initiated.

The faulty Rapid Response Content CrowdStrike update that disabled millions of Windows machines across the globe on 7/19/2024 was any IT professional’s nightmare. Having to manually visit and restore each affected machine (further complicated by BitLocker) severely limited the recovery speed, especially for businesses with remote locations, TVs, kiosks, etc.

Everybody wants to have a more secure network – and everybody has various tools at their disposal to at least improve the security of their network. But which tool is the best for the job, and where do you start? The answer to this question is somewhat easier (and more structured) for organizations that have to adhere to compliance frameworks (ISO, CMMC, PCI, SOC, …), but a little harder for business that have no such requirements.

It was almost exactly 10 years ago in December 2013 that we wrote our first blog post about detecting CryptoLocker, which was the first sophisticated Ransomware attack of its kind back then. BTW, 2013 was the year of the Boston Marathon bombing, Edward Snowden leaking secret NSA information, Syrians fleeing their home country and Nelson Mandela passing away.

Anybody who monitors logs of any kinds, knows that the extracting useful information from the gigabytes of data being collected remains one of the biggest challenges. One of the more important metrics to keep an eye on are all sorts of logons that occur in your network – especially if they originate on the Internet – such as VPN logins.

So, here’s the deal with AntiVirus software these days: It’s mostly playing catch-up with super-fast athletes — the malware guys. Traditional AV software is like old-school detectives who need a picture (or, in this case, a ‘signature’) of the bad guys to know who they’re chasing. The trouble is, these malware creators are quite sneaky — constantly changing their look and creating new disguises faster than AntiVirus can keep up with their photos.

The System Administrator! AKA the Sysadmin. The keeper of the network, computers – well basically all things technology. The one who is hated for imposing complex passwords and other restrictions, but taken for granted when everything works well. They are the first to be called when “facebuuk.com” reports: “domain does not exist”.
