Due to rising trends and policy changes, organizations are opting for solutions that ensure a proactive measure of cybersecurity. Companies are being held to much higher standards on how they collect, store, and protect individuals’ data. So they are searching for solutions that are both cost-effective and accurate. SIEM software provides threat management along with a detailed and centralized view of enterprise security.

This three-part blog series will explore threat-based methodology and how it benefits every company with a network. The series leverages the analysis presented by the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Program Management Office (PMO) in conjunction with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Machine learning (ML) detections are a powerful tool for detecting emerging threats when we don’t yet know what we’re looking for. The power of anomaly detection is the ability to detect and provide early warning on new threat activity for which rules, indicators, or signatures are not yet available.

Since our inception, Sumo Logic has been laser-focused on delivering real-time machine data analytics to accelerate digital transformation, while helping businesses effectively build, run, and secure their modern applications and infrastructure—in the cloud or in hybrid environments.

SIEM-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Managed SIEM services have gained popularity among companies aiming to meet security compliance standards in a cost-effective manner. Let’s see why a SIEM service can transform your small or mid-sized business’s cybersecurity.

Elastic Security discovered PHOREAL malware, which is targeting Southeast Asia financial organizations, particularly those in the Vietnamese financial sector. Given the continuous pace of malware development, it's no surprise that adversarial groups will leverage successful campaigns as the basis of developing future attacks, and the recently discovered backdoor campaign targeting Vietnamese financial services is no exception.

The idea behind the SIEM (and now XDR!) technologies was to provide a single engine at the heart of the SOC, aggregating data, enabling analytics and powering workflow automation. The SIEM would act as one place to train analysts and integrate a range of complementary technologies and processes. Given the efficiency that comes from centralization, I was surprised to hear that a growing number of defenders are actually using two SIEMs. Why is that?
