As digitalization becomes a norm, businesses are transitioning to cloud services for increased scalability, cost-effectiveness, and operational efficiency. But this transformation comes with a new challenge — securing the cloud.

Security information and event management (SIEM) solutions like Microsoft Sentinel SIEM are at the heart of most security operations teams. But like any SIEM, while Microsoft Sentinel can be an incredible tool for centralising security data, it also risks being expensive and ineffective. In a recent webinar I discuss these problems and how SenseOn can help supercharge Azure Sentinel. You can now watch this webinar anytime online.

What are the key differences between SIEM, SOAR, XDR & Logsign Unified SO Platform? SIEM, SOAR, XDR and Logsign USO Platform are all cybersecurity technologies that help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats. However, they differ in their scope, capabilities, and focus. Here are the key differences between them.

Cybersecurity is a constant journey, always full of fresh challenges. New threats keep popping up. Endpoint-only solutions are ineffective. And the cybersecurity skills shortage makes it difficult to recruit and retain top talent — especially with the increasing salaries required to be competitive. You may consider a security operations center (SOC), until you find out that operating one in-house is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming.

SIEM and UEBA are complementary solutions that can work together to provide a comprehensive view of network activity and enhance the threat detection and response capabilities of cybersecurity teams. By integrating SIEM and UEBA, organizations can benefit from.

In an era where data is often referred to as the “new oil,” the importance of data security can't be overstated. Breaches can lead to financial losses, reputational damage, and lost trust among customers and stakeholders. One primary step toward mitigating security risks is choosing a data store that has been designed with a robust security framework.

For years, security leaders have debated the advantages of building in-house security operations centers or outsourcing the SOC function to a third party. Both options have their pros and cons. The best choice for each organization depends on a few factors: the type of threats it encounters, the resources it has at its disposal, the complexity and breadth of their attack surface, and the commitment it wants to make to advanced threat hunting.

Investigating a security event is the less glamorous version of an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Without the snazzy, high-end, mostly-fictitious technology that television shows you, your actual digital forensics investigation usually involves an arduous process of reviewing technical data and looking for the breadcrumbs a malicious actor left behind.

Despite implementing cybersecurity administrative and technical risk mitigation control, companies still experience cybersecurity incidents and data breaches. Not every security incident ends with data exfiltration. An organization that can contain the attacker early in the kill chain can prevent data loss and reduce the incident’s impact.

Elastic is pleased to announce that we have recently achieved the AWS Security Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Competency Partner status with specialization in Threat and Detection Response (SIEM, SOAR, and XDR). This recognition highlights our commitment to providing you, our customers, with advanced security capabilities that can help you protect your sensitive data and applications in the cloud.
