Data’s role in business processes continues to evolve. Today, organizations collect, store, process, and transmit more personal data than ever before, and legislative bodies respond by updating privacy laws. In 2016, Turkey passed the first iteration of its Personal Data Protection Law number 6698 (PDPL), which also established the Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurumu (KVKK), the country’s data protection authority.

Due to economic pressures, staffing reductions, and lack of available talent, CISOs today are facing extreme pressure to do more with less. And retaining your best employees during tough times is becoming a major challenge across industries. Research at Devo shows SOC analysts are feeling stressed over too much work and not enough resources. In fact, more than 71% of SOC professionals we surveyed said they’re likely to quit their job because of information overload and lack of tools.

It’s hard to go a day without some headline touting how generative AI is transforming the future of work. And this sentiment certainly rings true in the security industry as security operations centers (SOCs) continue to mature their security posture with automation so that they can protect their enterprise and customer data. But how are leaders and teams feeling about the progress of AI adoption and how the tools are being used?

LimaCharlie offers many of the capabilities of a security information and event management (SIEM) solution, although it is not a SIEM. In this article, we’ll talk about LimaCharlie vs traditional SIEMs—and explain how our platform can be used to reduce or replace SIEM usage and help cybersecurity teams save money.

Migrating to a new security information and event management (SIEM) solution can feel like a daunting task, like moving to a new house. Over the years, a lot gets accumulated and sometimes is forgotten until found in a corner. This blog identifies steps you can take to reduce the pain typically associated with a migration, tools that can help along the way, and questions you should ask during each phase of a migration.

A lot has changed since Sumo Logic last gave our two cents on how to secure Office 365. In the meantime, Office 365 has become Microsoft 365 (M365), and Sumo has continued evolving and expanding its security offering. Today’s threat actor is adept at compromising M365 accounts through various methods. Stealing credentials through phishing email campaigns and brute-force attacks has become commonplace.

As digital transformation expands the threat landscape, compliance mandates adapt to meet new challenges. In 2020, the European Commission announced its decision to accelerate its revision of the Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS2). When carrying out its impact assessment, the Commission realized that it needed to update the NIS Directive in response to new risks.

In computing, an audit log is a record of an event. An event is any significant action that impacts the hardware or software of a computer – anything from a mouse click to a program error. Besides documenting which resources were accessed and what for, an audit file system will also include the source and destination addresses, the timestamp, and the user ID information.

With the rapid expansion in both scale and variety of technologies in modern business systems, there comes a need to further secure those technologies to prevent nefarious actors from causing havoc. The expanding data landscape creates a much larger attack surface for bad actors to exploit, and as a result leaves many organizations at risk from theft, fraud or other undesirable behavior.

Event correlation tools are a fundamental instrument in your toolbox to detect threats from all sources across your organization in real time. A wise use of the right event correlation techniques through log management and analysis is the cornerstone of any reliable security information and event management (SIEM) strategy – a strategy that focuses on prevention rather than reaction.
