Can You Use the ELK Stack as a SIEM? A Fresh Take

A SIEM system (Security Information and Event Management) is often used by security operations centers (SOCs) for real-time detection of suspicious activity and security events. While some teams choose to adopt a purpose-built SIEM, others rely on the same DevOps tools they are already using for tasks like troubleshooting and operational log data analysis.

PAM and Cloud Security: The Case for Zero Standing Privileges

The cloud has introduced entirely new environments, roles and circumstances that require us to reimagine the definition of privileged access management (PAM) and how to apply those principles to secure identities. PAM was built on the notion that identities must be secured, not just managed, to protect an organization’s most valuable assets. The well-recognized values of PAM remain highly desirable – least privilege, role-based access control and auditability of high-risk sessions.

The Role of AI in Email Security and How Real-Time Threat Intelligence Can Supercharge Your SOC Team

In response to improved email security measures, cybercriminals have pivoted to more advanced attack methods, namely artificial intelligence (AI), that bypass existing protections. But security defenders are also using AI in remarkable new ways to fortify their networks. Join Erich Kron, Security Awareness Advocate for KnowBe4, and Michael Sampson, Principal Analyst at Osterman Research, as they dig into the findings of our latest joint report on The Role of AI in Email Security. They’ll share tips on how your SOC team can identify and use AI to supercharge your anti-phishing defense.
