In organizational risk management, Risk Tolerance and Risk Appetite are two fundamental concepts. These concepts are applied in areas such as business investing, decision making, cybersecurity risk management, and overall finance. While these concepts complement each other, they do have different meanings. A simple distinction is this: And there’s a bit more to it.

Known as RegEx (or gibberish for the uninitiated), Regular Expressions is a compact language that allows security analysts to define a pattern in text. When working with ASCII data and trying to find something buried in a log, regex is invaluable. But writing regular expressions can be hard. There are lots of resources to assist you: “But stop,” you say, “Splunk uses fields! Why should I spend time learning Regular Expressions?”

In today's digital landscape, organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats that can compromise sensitive data, disrupt operations, and tarnish their reputation. To mitigate these risks, regulatory frameworks have been developed to ensure robust cybersecurity practices.

Cybersecurity is a team sport, as malicious actors and advanced persistent threats are constantly evolving their tactics. In this ever-changing landscape, it is crucial for organizations to collaborate and learn from one another’s experiences. At Devo, we recognize the importance of teamwork in combating these threats. We are committed to enhancing our product capabilities and content to empower every customer to participate in this collective defense.

What you’re doing isn’t working. Despite best efforts, the scale of cybersecurity data is outpacing the ability of security information and event management (SIEM) solutions to identify and stay ahead of digital threats. Incremental improvements can’t keep pace with the scale of data contained in cloud solutions and the scope of data created by new tools, like generative AI. The result?

As the internet continues to evolve, cybersecurity threats—particularly Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks—are an increasingly significant concern for organizations. In this post, we’ll look at how you can use Datadog to collect Google Cloud Armor (GCA) logs and detect and respond to potential DDoS attacks in real-time. But first, we’ll briefly cover what DDoS attacks are and how they work.

Change is constant in any career, and the world of cybersecurity is no exception. Hackers and cybercriminals devise new tactics regularly, and cybersecurity professionals must stay current with emerging threats and new technology. While keeping pace with these shifts is essential, it’s also important to balance your commitment to the field with your personal career goals.

The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred a significant increase in the adoption of remote access, resulting in a substantial portion of the workforce transitioning to remote work. This requires employees to heavily rely on their employer’s virtual private network (VPN) to connect to their company's IT systems. This shift to working from home (WFH) is expected to continue well into the foreseeable future.

Anyone who’s ever misplaced their wallet knows that horrible moment where their stomach drops, the beads of perspiration begin to form on their forehead, and they start mulling over worst-case scenarios. In that worst case scenario, someone used the cash and cards in the wallet to go on a personal spending spree. In a company’s IT environment, a missing device or shadow IT represents that missing wallet.
