Like every industry, the manufacturing sector has embraced digital transformation to improve operations. Digital manufacturing uses technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) devices, data analytics, and cloud computing to improve production processes and gain efficiencies. With businesses increasingly embracing digital transformation, they face the challenge of securing interconnected systems.

Estee’s work on channel strategy helped land Devo in the CRN Partner Program Guide and inclusions in the CRN Cloud 100 and Security 100 lists for 2025.

Attackers thrive in the shadows, using MITRE ATT&CK T1564 - Hide Artifacts to cloak their presence with hidden files, concealed processes, and manipulated registry keys. These stealth tactics allow adversaries to evade detection, persist undetected, and escalate their access — all while quietly exfiltrating data or disrupting operations. Imagine files, processes, and even user accounts disappearing in your environment without a trace.

In cybersecurity, the adage “what’s old is new” continues to hold true as attackers resurface longstanding techniques or repurpose them with new twists and adaptations. The popularization of Living Off the Land Binaries (LOLBins) — legitimate, Windows-native tools commonly abused for malicious uses — is a great example of this.

According to the Exabeam State of Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response Report, global cybersecurity spending is projected to grow from $92 billion in 2022 to over $170 billion by 2027, pushing security teams to invest in solutions that enhance threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR). Many organizations have relied on on-premises security information and event management (SIEM) solutions for threat monitoring, incident response, and compliance.

Supply chain attacks, particularly those targeting continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, are on the rise. It’s easy to think of these attacks as something that only happens to others, but the reality is that your organization is part of the supply chain too. Whether your company develops software for internal use, offers it as part of a service to your customers, or sells it as a product, you’re exposed.

Industrial facilities increasingly rely on interconnected systems to improve operations. As they implement these technologies into their legacy environments, they create new cybersecurity risks within previously isolated Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) by connecting them to public internet-facing applications.

Now more than ever, insider threats and compromised devices pose a significant challenge to organizations. Whether it’s a malicious insider exfiltrating sensitive data or an endpoint infected with advanced malware, these threats are often difficult to detect using conventional security tools. According to the 2023 Cost of Insider Risks Report by Ponemon Institute, insider threats cost organizations an average of $15.4 million per incident, and incidents take an average of 85 days to contain.

In the shadowy depths of your network, whispers grow louder — something isn’t right. Adversaries are on the prowl, targeting the very keys to your kingdom: your credentials. T1003 - OS Credential Dumping is their weapon of choice to steal password hashes and sensitive authentication materials. They quietly harvest secrets to impersonate users, escalate privileges, and move laterally through your environment.

Automate your security and observability workflows with Tines Workflow Automation, now available directly from Elastic Elastic and Tines are unveiling an integrated product offering to transform the crucial work of security and observability teams. We’re excited to introduce Tines Workflow Automation, available directly through Elastic.

SOC teams across businesses, industries, and geographies share the same goal: Stop cyberattacks before damage is done. But for those with legacy SIEMs, this is nearly impossible to achieve. Legacy SIEMs demand an overwhelming investment of time, resources, and expertise to set up and maintain.

Not all network traffic is what it seems. Some flows conceal secrets, quietly exfiltrating sensitive data beyond your defenses. MITRE ATT&CK T1048 - Exfiltration Over Alternative Protocol is a stealth technique adversaries use to smuggle data out of your environment by bypassing traditional security controls.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) are rapidly transforming the public sector, moving beyond theoretical possibilities to real-world applications. Proper data preparedness, stewardship, and governance will play critical roles in successful GenAI implementations. We recently hosted a webinar, Public sector data stewardship for the AI era, with industry experts Max Klaps, research director at IDC, and Dave Erickson, distinguished architect at Elastic.

How public sector agencies can solve Zero Trust challenges and break down silos with a unified data layer In the evolving and complex cyber landscape, the Zero Trust approach is instrumental in addressing both internal and external threats. It's a comprehensive strategy rather than a single solution, demanding the orchestration of multiple components to be genuinely effective.

In a recent and sophisticated cyberattack, the Akira ransomware group leveraged an unsecured Linux-based webcam to infiltrate a corporate network. By exploiting this overlooked IoT device, the attackers successfully bypassed traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions, ultimately encrypting network shares and causing widespread damage.

Any company that processes payments knows the pain of an audit under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Although the original PCI DSS had gone through various updates, the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) took feedback from the global payments industry to address evolving security needs.

Security analysts need clear visibility into potential threats to proactively defend against cyberattacks. Defining these threats can be challenging, but many security teams rely on the MITRE ATT&CK framework as a foundational resource for strengthening their defenses. While security platforms tag detections with MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques, analysts often struggle to assess their overall coverage across different attack surfaces.

For Star Trek fans, space may be the final frontier, but in security, discovering Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) could be the technology equivalent. In the iconic episode “The Trouble with Tribbles,” the legendary starship Enterprise discovers a space station that becomes overwhelmed by little fluffy, purring, rapidly reproducing creatures called “tribbles.” In a modern IT department, APIs can be viewed as the digital tribble overwhelming security teams.

How US federal agencies can better meet advanced event logging requirements For the past four years or so, US federal agencies have been working to comply with the requirements set out in OMB M-21-31. Released in 2021, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s M-21-31 memorandum provided guidance and requirements for federal agencies in order to improve centralized visibility into logging data before, during, and after cybersecurity incidents.
