Sequenced event templates are pretty cool, but they were developed around the time that Risk-based Alerting (RBA) was developed in Splunk Enterprise Security. Additionally, they don’t have all the great context we can generate with the holistic picture provided by risk, so I want to provide guidance on how we would implement its equivalent in the RBA context as they are now deprecated in Splunk Enterprise Security 8.0. There are two approaches we can utilize that do slightly different things.

Cybersecurity threats are evolving at a record pace, creating significant gaps and challenges for organizations handling sensitive data. To strengthen security across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), the Department of Defense (DoD) introduced the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program.

In today’s competitive IT landscape, certifications serve as valuable credentials that validate technical expertise and enhance career prospects. Whether you’re entering the field or looking to advance, earning the right certification can set you apart from the competition and open doors to better jobs and opportunities. Among the most sought-after IT certifications are CompTIA Security+ and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA).

Strong security policies are the foundation of any successful security program. Before jumping into tools like Vanta to manage and automate your policies, it’s crucial to get the basics right—starting with how those policies are created, adopted, and aligned with compliance controls. ‍

Discover how agentic AI is revolutionizing processes with autonomous, intelligent workflows and real-world agentic AI applications, including for IT and cybersecurity.

The MDR came into full effect in 2021, but many devices are still certified under MDD and will need to transition. As a result, Europe is facing a period of regulatory limbo. The MDR outlines what manufacturers must achieve but not how to do it, creating a gap between regulatory intent and practical implementation. To help bridge this gap, manufacturers rely on.

AI agents work together to complete tasks. For instance, imagine a kitchen. In a home kitchen, we do everything ourselves, come up with the menu, get the ingredients, peel, chop, sauté, and plate — but in restaurants, everyone has different jobs. Agentic AI brings that restaurant-level skill to organize and optimize to you in your kitchen. In the case of cybersecurity, agents can provide the necessary backup for what you can’t get to in a day in the SOC.
