Capturing network traffic is usually done either for security reasons or to troubleshoot networking issues. But by the time you initiate a network capture (either manually or automatically) it’s often too late already – the train has already left the station. Point in case: Say your SIEM (obviously EventSentry) detects abnormal or suspicious behavior in a log and a network capture is initiated.

There are rare moments when technology doesn’t just improve — it leaps forward, leaving behind everything we once thought was enough. The launch of CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM was one of those moments. It’s a game-changer that alters the way security teams think, operate and stop breaches.

Google Workspace is a popular productivity suite, and its broad collection of apps (such as Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and Docs) can give attackers a central point of entry for accessing sensitive and valuable data if they compromise an account. Learning how to identify malicious activity in your Workspace environment enables you to stop threats before they become more serious. In this post, we’ll look at a few ways attackers gain access to and take advantage of Google Workspace.

A primary goal for security teams is identifying specific threats to their environment, but they often face the daunting task of reviewing vast amounts of log data and alerts. Even with well-crafted detection rules, sifting through irrelevant data to pinpoint essential details for an investigation can be a significant challenge. This not only prolongs investigation times but also increases the risk of overlooking critical information.

APIs are essential for modern digital business operations, enabling smooth connectivity and data exchange between applications. However, the growing dependence on APIs has unintentionally widened the attack surface, making strong API security a vital concern for organizations. Traditional security measures often prove inadequate in effectively safeguarding this changing landscape.

Organizations have grappled with the cost-benefit tradeoff of log management and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) for decades. Do you capture every log at the risk of overwhelming storage, infrastructure, and license costs, or limit your collection and gamble on what’s truly important? The high costs imposed by traditional vendors have dictated Sophie’s choice, forcing enterprises into a game of compromise that risks the entire organization’s security.

Building a strong SOC doesn’t happen overnight. It requires strategic planning, smart hiring, and a long-term vision. This is especially true when it comes to the bedrock of any successful SOC: its analysts. SOC managers play a crucial role in building, mentoring, and developing analysts to ensure the SOC is resilient and effective. If you’re a SOC manager, here are some strategies for building a strong SOC team.

Cybersecurity frameworks often feel as exciting as tax codes and instruction manuals, useful but not exactly captivating. Yet, the MITRE ATT&CK framework has managed to capture the attention of security professionals worldwide by mapping out adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Many organizations don’t operationalize MITRE ATT&CK’s potential fully, using the framework in predictable ways. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
