The cybersecurity industry is more well-informed than most, but even so, misconceptions arise and spread, helped along by the fact that the rise in cybersecurity incidents has led to substantial “pop culture” intrigue with all things cybersecurity. One of the more harmful of these misconceptions is the conflation of “hacker” and “attacker,” terms which are treated as interchangeable. They’re not.

CloudFabrix is enhancing its AIOps platform with native Observability and AI at the edge capabilities to bridge the gap between Observability and AIOps solutions. Enterprises are struggling with unifying multitude of expensive monitoring deployments as well as gaps in observability, specifically for modern application architectures that include usage of microservices, containers and Kubernetes.

Pan Chaudhury created Perry Health in 2017 to streamline healthcare delivery. He and his co-founders envisioned a digital health tool to assist healthcare providers in managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension by coordinating care and communication. Perry Health supports better healthcare outcomes by monitoring and engaging with patients when they’re not in the doctor’s office.

How many APIs does your organization rely on? A 2020 study by Slashdata found that 89% of developers use APIs, and the vast majority are using third-party APIs. These numbers aren’t unique to specific markets either. Regardless whether you are a software-first company, or offering a more tangible service, APIs are a vital part of modern infrastructures. Relying on APIs saves time, resources, and allows businesses to experiment in ways that otherwise would be hard to justify.

If a project or initiative is going to be successful, it needs a plan spelling out what to do and how to do it. But that’s not enough. Somebody, or a group of somebodies, has to be in charge of getting it done. They have to own it. That’s the case with software security initiatives (SSIs), which are the focus of the Building Security In Maturity Model (BSIMM), the annual report by Synopsys.

As Denmark’s largest power, utility and telecommunications company servicing 1.5 million customers, Norlys understands the need for fast response to security alerts. When the company first started, the Norlys security team built their own log analytics and incident response capabilities from the ground up. This homegrown approach presented challenges, including manual workflows, too many repetitive tasks and difficult-to-maintain processes.

ManageEngine’s Log360 was recently honored with the CybersecAsia Award for the Best User and Entity Behavior Analytics software application. The award certifies the important role, and the innovative technology brought to the table by Log360 over the past two years. Elevated cybersecurity risks currently experienced by organizations have driven the sudden adoption of the cloud and increased workforce mobility.

Organization’s today host a wide range of information that, due to its external value to competitors, nation-states, or cybercriminals, needs to be properly protected. The role of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is to establish and maintain the organizational strategy and execution to protect its sensitive and valuable information assets and surrounding technologies.

Even though SecTor had to be entirely online this year due to our unusual international circumstances, there have been plenty of excellent talks from many experienced cybersecurity professionals. The talks took place over the course of two days, October 21st and 22nd. Last time I covered the talks I attended on day one. Interestingly enough, the talks all had to do with threat detection and analysis. Maybe that’s just what I’m fixated on these days.

Policy compliance within the information security space can be an exhausting concept to wrap our heads around. Writing a policy document, publishing it to staff and then staying hands-on to ensure it is followed in perpetuity is easily seen as an arduous, if not an impossible, task. Policies set the basis for every successful information security initiative.
