Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

One of the biggest SIEM management problems SOC teams face is that they are often overwhelmed by false positives, leading to analyst fatigue and visibility gaps. In addition to that, one of the toughest challenges in security is detecting when SaaS access tokens are compromised without adding to the false positive problem. At Elastic, the InfoSec team tackles both of these issues by automating SIEM alert investigations with tools like Tines.

Everybody wants to have a more secure network – and everybody has various tools at their disposal to at least improve the security of their network. But which tool is the best for the job, and where do you start? The answer to this question is somewhat easier (and more structured) for organizations that have to adhere to compliance frameworks (ISO, CMMC, PCI, SOC, …), but a little harder for business that have no such requirements.

Real-world malware 100% protection with zero false positives Elastic Security has achieved remarkable results in the recent AV-Comparatives Malware Protection Test, with a protection rate of 100% and no false positives against real-world malware samples. This independent assessment underscores our commitment to providing world-class malware protection, with zero false positives and zero user impact.

If you are a cybersecurity professional, it’s hard to ignore the recent shift in the SIEM landscape unless you’ve been living under a rock… or more likely, under the crushing weight of terabytes worth of disconnected SIEM logs. Let’s catch everyone up to speed anyway.

Many of us in the information security sphere have sat in front of a console and furiously executed various queries while either mumbling internally or externally, with varying levels of stress and frustration: what is going on? When investigating a particular system, an odd event, or a declared incident, we are all attempting to answer this question in one way or another. Detections, documented threat hunts and security operations procedures do not manifest out of thin air.

Being a security analyst tracking down threats can feel like being the Wile E. Coyote to an attacker’s Road Runner. You’re fast, but they’re faster. You set up alerts, but they still manage to get past your defenses. You’re monitoring systems, but they’re still able to hide their criminal activities.

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) allow your applications to talk to one another, like an application-to-application iMessage or Signal. If you’ve ever texted a message to the wrong group chat, you’ve created a situation that mimics what broken function level authentication does between users and applications.

The stakes are higher than ever for CISOs. Just one breach can be catastrophic for an organization, and new rules and regulations add even more pressure. We surveyed 200 CISOs on the current landscape, and asked a handful of them for advice on how to overcome today’s challenges. Here are some of the key recommendations for CISOs who are navigating today’s cyber landscape.

CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM transcends the limitations of legacy SIEMs so you can detect and stop breaches faster than ever. It accomplishes this feat in part by upleveling every member of your SOC. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM helps security engineers streamline deployment by providing a growing set of data connectors and the key data they need already in the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. Security analysts, empowered with generative AI and automation, can navigate complex investigations.
