Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Today Devo announced Devo SciSec, which brings together a talented team of threat research, advanced data science, and machine learning experts under the leadership of CTO Gunter Ollmann to help our customers preemptively detect and mitigate entire classes of threats. See and hear what Gunter has to say about SciSec in this video. Even before their formal introduction, the SciSec team has been busy delivering value-added capabilities to Devo customers.

Fueled by the need to detect new, emerging threats while supplying meaningful feedback upstream to anticipate and prevent future ones, the modern SOC is the engine that protects organizations worldwide. The heart of that engine is common to all SOCs since they debuted more than a decade ago: people.

Following our February announcement that Devo has been designated as FedRAMP “In-Process,” I’m excited to report that our public sector momentum continues in other key areas. Here are some recent highlights: All of this momentum and growth is an affirmation of the excellence of the Devo Platform and the exceptional quality of our success services to support them. And it also demonstrates Devo’s long-term commitment to serving our customers and partners in the public sector.

Artificial intelligence has been (and continues to be) a popular topic of discussion in areas ranging from science fiction to cybersecurity. But as much fun as it might be to discuss my favorite sci-fi AI stories, let’s set aside the works of Asimov, Bradbury and other storytellers to focus on the role of AI in cybersecurity.

Let me tell you a story. Not a bedtime story or the sort of happy-ending story you’d read to your kids. This is a darker, much more serious story. It’s a story about cybersecurity. Specifically, it’s a story about attack stories. You may be asking yourself, what is an attack story? Every cyberattack has a story. And that story consists of a sequence of steps adversaries take to learn, access and control the resources and data of the victims they’re pursuing.

According to the 2021 Devo SOC Performance ReportTM — which is based on the results of a survey of more than 1,000 security practitioners — having an understaffed SOC or constant turnover of security talent can cripple an organization’s security posture. Let’s look at some of the root causes that can lead to these two interconnected problems.
