Recently, Gartner® refreshed one of its foundational cybersecurity research, “The 6 Principles of Successful Network Segmentation Strategies.”1 The principles covered in the research are tried and true.

TLDR – watch our presentation on the Tech Field Day YouTube Channel.

Comprehensive visibility into network protocols is a hallmark of Zeek (and therefore Corelight) data. That's why we are very happy to announce that with our v27.2 release we are supporting a new analyzer for the LDAP protocol. You likely know LDAP as a workhorse for carrying directory information across the network. While it's an open standard, it's most often seen as part of several server implementations, especially Microsoft's Active Directory, OpenLDAP, and others.
