The threat landscape is constantly evolving and expanding, making it more difficult than ever for organizations to keep up and defend against the latest threats. Today’s SecOps teams need cutting-edge security tools and threat intelligence-driven detection content to proactively defend against the latest tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) that organizations face today.

Disaster Recovery Planning: Getting Started

As organizations face the imminent threat of an IT service outage or cyberattack, they often fail to step back and understand how well they've planned to deal with the crisis. According to recent research, we know that: Perhaps the most regrettable part of it all? Almost half (45%) of these organizations already acknowledge the inadequacy of their disaster recovery capabilities.

What is Privilege Escalation? An Introduction

In the realm of cybersecurity, understanding how unauthorized access can compromise sensitive systems is critical—this is where the concept of privilege escalation comes into play. In this article, we will look at what privilege escalation is, how it exploits vulnerabilities and best practices for protecting your organization against privilege escalation.

Federated Analytics: Analyze Data Wherever It Resides for Rapid and Holistic Security Visibility

Data is everywhere, sprawling across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. As security practitioners, we need fast access to this data to analyze it, draw insights, and uncover potential threats. However, the sheer volume of data and complexity of threats makes it difficult to maintain visibility, detect stealthy attacks, and respond quickly to security incidents.

Unify and Automate TDIR Workflows with Splunk SOAR 6.3 and Splunk Enterprise Security 8.0

Security teams are juggling 25+ different security tools that perform different actions across detection, investigation and response. Look up an IP here, send malware to a sandbox there, block an executable over there. What’s worse is that the vast majority of those actions are being performed manually. This approach is simply too slow against fast-moving attackers and malware, and it certainly isn’t sustainable.
