Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

In this episode, we run through our beginner's guide to security tools, emphasizing the importance of people, processes, and technology. We chat about the NIST framework as a foundational resource for building security programs, highlighting key steps such as identifying and managing risks. We also discuss basic tools like password managers and multifactor authentication as essential for enhancing security, particularly against threats like phishing. Finally, we explore the integration of AI in security and its potential to improve efficiency while maintaining human oversight.

In this episode, we discuss the critical intersection of security and observability within organizations. We highlight the often contentious relationship between security analysts and SREs, emphasizing the importance of fostering a collaborative culture to effectively address incidents. All teams should focus on solutions rather than blame, as user experience is affected by both security and infrastructure issues. We explore how to break down silos, especially in the context of AI security, and encourage cross-disciplinary learning to enhance overall security practices.

Security teams are overwhelmed by alerts, but which ones really matter? In this episode of Logs & Lattes, host Palmer Wallace talks with Rich Murphy, Senior Product Manager at Graylog, about how smarter security operations help teams cut through the noise and focus on what truly reduces risk. From alert fatigue to risk-first response, they unpack practical ways to prioritize real threats, automate with context, and make incident response faster and more effective. Learn how modern SOCs are evolving beyond alert overload to focus on meaningful, risk-based action.
