Alerting

Alerts on Policy Breaches Now Available via API

All Surface Monitoring users can configure Attack Surface Policies directly from the new Domains page, enabling various combinations of characteristics that were previously unavailable. Users are now alerted when policy breaches occur directly through their integrated tools, such as Slack and Jira.

Reduce False Alerts - Automatically!

Analysts rely on User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) tools to track anomalies, investigate incidents, and respond to cybersecurity threats. However, the varying nature of user and entity behaviors across different organizations means that predetermined thresholds often fail to account for unique baselines. Even within the same environment, temporal variations can cause significant differences in monitoring signals.

Considerations for Risk Rating Security Alerts

Security incidents and data breaches are the cybersecurity version of the definition of squares and rectangles in geometry. While all data breaches are security incidents, not all security incidents are data breaches. Before investigating an incident, many security teams know whether the alert will relate to a minor incident or a large-scale breach.

Announcing Context Engine: Focus on the alerts that matter

Today, I’m delighted to announce the release of Jit’s Context Engine, which uses the runtime context of vulnerabilities to automatically prioritize the top security risks in our customers’ cloud applications. One of the defining challenges of product security is the overwhelming volume of alerts generated by code and cloud security scanners, which is especially painful when the majority of “issues” don’t pose any real security risk.

The Crucial Role of Fall Detection in Modern Medical Alert Systems

As the global population ages, ensuring the safety and well-being of older adults becomes increasingly important. Falls are a major health risk for the elderly, often leading to severe injuries, reduced mobility, and a loss of independence. Fall detection technology, integrated into modern medical alert systems, plays a crucial role in mitigating these risks. This article explores the significance of fall detection, the technology behind it, and its impact on the health and safety of seniors.

Overcoming cyber security alert fatigue

Relying on technology alone, however advanced, can be a critical error. While top end security technologies can provide part of the answer, the sheer number of alerts generated demands constant attention. Without the right resources to analyse and manage these outputs, critical alerts may end up being ignored – a constant thorn in the side of many organisations.

How To Get Real-Time Notifications for Denied Traffic With Prometheus and AlertManager

Network policies are essential for securing your Kubernetes clusters. They allow you to control which pods can communicate with each other, and to what extent. However, it can be difficult to keep track of all of your network policies and to ensure that they are configured correctly. This is especially true if you have a large and complex cluster with more than 100 nodes. One way to address this challenge is to leverage Prometheus and AlertManager embedded in Calico Enterprise/Cloud.

Empowering Your Defense: Synergy between Data Loss Prevention Controls and Automated Alert Remediation

In today's digital world, the stakes of data loss are high, and the cost of cybercrime continues to escalate. In fact, IBM recently estimated that the average cost of a data breach was $4.45 million in 2023, a 15% increase over the previous three years.

How to Save Your SOC Analysts From Alert Fatigue

SecOps teams face an unyielding barrage of security signals raised by various systems and tools. It’s estimated that 56% of large companies receive 1,000 or more alerts per day. SOC analysts are expected to wade through these alerts and determine which ones are important, which are low priority, and which are imperative. According to IDC, 83% of cybersecurity employees say they’re struggling to cope with the overwhelming alert volume.
