Weeding Out Cyber Threats: How to Detect and Stop Common Attacks

When necessary, you water it, monitor it, and weed out what doesn’t belong before it spreads. The same principle applies to cybersecurity. In today’s digital landscape, cyber threats evolve rapidly. From phishing and privilege escalation to rogue access and lateral movement, attacks often take root well before they’re discovered. That’s why detection and response are no longer optional ‒ essential for resilience.

MDR vs. EDR: Which Solution is Right for Your Organization?

If your organization is considering a threat detection solution, chances are good that you are wondering about EDR vs. MDR. The constant evolution of the cybersecurity marketplace can make it difficult for organizations to understand the differences and capabilities between different types of security offerings.

Edge exploits, EDR blind spots, 51-second breakouts

For every advancement in defense, attackers supply the equal and opposite adaptation. In the last few years EDRs have become so effective that adversaries have radically shifted gears. That shift shows up unmistakably in three heavyweight reports—Verizon’s DBIR, Mandiant’s M-Trends, and CrowdStrike’s Global Threat Report. Here’s how I’m stitching their data together.

Cloud your way: Expanding threat visibility to meet the unique needs of your business

Let’s face it: The cloud has become the go-to platform for modern infrastructure—and for good reason. Scalability, flexibility, and speed are hard to beat. But as organizations increasingly rely on the cloud to run their critical operations, the threat landscape is evolving just as fast. And attackers? They’re getting smarter, stealthier, and more cloud-savvy by the day. That’s why monitoring cloud network traffic is no longer optional—it’s essential.

In today’s threat landscape, the question is no longer “Will we be attacked?” but “How fast can we detect and respond when it happens?” The unfortunate reality is that many organizations struggle to detect threats in time—often because their tools operate in silos, their teams are overloaded with false positives, and they lack the necessary context to act swiftly and accurately.

Your Network Evidence, Your SIEM, your way: Corelight's open SIEM strategy empowers SOCs with a unified experience

Security operations centers (SOCs) are under constant pressure to keep their organizations secure, while battling alert fatigue, tool sprawl, and ever-rising demands for speed and precision. Analysts today face an overwhelming landscape where context is thin, telemetry is inconsistent, and critical signals are buried in noise. At Corelight, we’re focused on one simple idea: Your network evidence should work wherever your SOC team does.

Elastic Security Labs provides an under-the-hood look at its detection engineering processes

The 2025 State of Detection Engineering at Elastic explores how we create, maintain, and assess our SIEM and EDR rulesets. Today, Elastic Security Labs is releasing the 2025 State of Detection Engineering at Elastic! This brand new report is the first of its kind — we’re pulling back the curtain on our Detection Engineering practices, going beyond the traditional survey-style State of Detection Engineering report.

Corelight's Vincent Stoffer on Why Enterprises Can't Rely Only on Endpoint Security

The cybersecurity industry's heavy reliance on endpoint detection and response tools has created significant vulnerabilities, particularly around IoT devices and operational technology that cannot be monitored using traditional security tools, according to Vincent Stoffer, field CTO at Corelight. This growing attack surface, combined with sophisticated threat actors who exploit any available entry point, has pushed organizations to reevaluate their security strategies and consider more comprehensive network monitoring approaches.

Why Do You Need an Automated VAPT Tool? (5 Alarming Signs)

Imagine waking up to news that your company’s data has been leaked, your customers' trust is shattered, and your brand’s reputation is in tatters. Cybercriminals don’t wait for you to react—they exploit vulnerabilities the moment they find them. You're already playing a dangerous game if your security measures are outdated or reactive.

How Corelight's anomaly detection enhances network security

Signature-based detections provide fast, effective defense against known attacks. But the threat landscape is rapidly changing: Attackers are utilizing novel, sophisticated techniques that can bypass traditional, signature-based detection methods and also weaponizing legitimate tools and processes to avoid established detection tools, including endpoint detection. In this dynamic environment, organizations must in turn deploy new detection techniques to keep pace.
