The Cisco Umbrella DNS Denylisting playbook is an input playbook that accepts a domain or list of domains as an input and then allows you to block the given domain(s) in Cisco Umbrella.
In cybersecurity as in sports, teamwork makes the dream work. In a world where security analysts can feel constantly bombarded by threat actors, banding together to share information and strategies is increasingly important. Over the last few years, security operations center (SOC) analysts started sharing open source Sigma rules to create and share detections that help them level the playing field.
Site reliability engineers (SREs) and security analysts — despite having very different roles — share a lot of the same goals. They both employ proactive monitoring and incident response strategies to identify and address potential issues before they become service impacting. They also both prioritize organizational stability and resilience, aiming to minimize downtime and disruptions.
If IT security is top-of-mind for you and your organization, asset and application discovery is critical — you need to know all of the assets you have in order to identify any areas of vulnerability.
As the cybersecurity landscape continually evolves, SOCs must quickly identify, evaluate, and counteract cyberattacks. In the heat of a security investigation or incident response, achieving rapid visibility and rich contextual insights about the attack are not merely advantageous, but essential.
Establishing a proactive security posture involves a data-driven approach to threat detection, investigation, and response. In the past, this was challenging because there wasn’t a centralized way to collect and analyze security data across sources, but with Amazon Security Lake it is much simpler.
When evaluating a SIEM, two key factors stand out: flexibility in data handling and open architecture. These two elements significantly enhance a platform’s efficiency and adaptability in managing cybersecurity threats. Whether you’re evaluating your current SIEM or looking for a more modern solution, here are five questions to ask to gauge its flexibility.
As the digital landscape continues to evolve, new cyber threats continue to emerge. It’s imperative to have safeguards in place early on in the product development process. That’s where Secure by Design comes in.
SOC analysts are overwhelmed sifting through a sea of notable events. They are unable to prioritize events and act fast. With Auto Refresh in the Incident Review interface, users will not have to re-run the Incident Response search or refresh the page. Furthermore, an interactive timeline for notable events within the Incident Response interface enables the SOC to quickly prioritize critical incidents.
With the enhanced risk analysis dashboard in Splunk Enterprise Security, security analysts can now monitor user entity risk events from detections across risk-based alerting and behavioral analytics, which provides a deeper, and more holistic, layer of visibility across all detection events.
