Register for the Webinar Large-scale cyber breaches continue to dominate headlines, amplifying the damaging ramifications of failing to secure your organization. Even with a substantial investment in your SOC, outcomes continue to fall short of promises. Breaches lead to massive data leaks, steep financial losses, and tarnished reputations, underscoring the urgent need for effective SIEM technology.

Splunk’s latest User Behavior Analytics (UBA) product update, version 5.4.0, brings enhancements and new features designed to streamline operations and improve threat detection accuracy. Let’s see what’s new!

As a kid, treasure hunts were fun. Someone gave you clues and a map so you could hunt down whatever hidden item they left for you. However, as a security analyst, your incident investigations often have clues but lack a map. An alert fires. You search through your vast collection of log data. You hope to find the next clue while trying to figure out the attacker’s next steps.

I’m thrilled to share some incredibly exciting news – Graylog’s v6.0 is officially here! It’s been quite the journey getting to this point, filled with late nights, endless cups of coffee, and an unwavering commitment from our amazing team. As we unveil this latest version, I can’t help but reflect on how far SIEM technology has come over the past two decades. Gone are the days when Intellitactics and NetForensics reigned supreme.

In cybersecurity, it’s a big challenge to handle diverse data formats across various platforms. The Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) aims to address this by standardizing data security formats and simplifying the process of threat hunting. Major players like IBM, AWS and others are working together to standardize data with this open-source project, emphasizing its importance.

Security logging and auditing in a Windows environment refers to the process of systematically recording events and activities that occur within the operating system. These audit records are stored in the security log, a component of the Windows Event Viewer. Manage auditing and security log setting grants specific users or groups the authority to configure auditing policies and manage security logs.

Change in the cybersecurity industry is inevitable, and 2024 brings upheaval in the form of geopolitical tensions, rigorous compliance requirements, and of course, the rapid acceleration of generative AI.

In our previous installation, we discussed the history of security information and event management (SIEM) solutions — from collection to organizational detections and finally to response and orchestration. Now, we are firmly in the SIEM 3.0 revolution and focused on applying generative AI to every applicable process in the security operations center with tremendous success.

As your business evolves to serve more users, your applications and infrastructure will generate an increasing volume of logs, which may contain sensitive data such as credit card numbers, IP addresses, and tokens. When you collect sensitive data, you may be subject to laws such as GDPR—which restricts the transfer of personal data across borders, and you may face legal consequences if this data is exposed outside your infrastructure.
