Ingesting data in the security world is only half of the battle. The second half is fought over insight generation. As security professionals, we understand that every second we spend creating dashboards, alerts, or parsing rules is a potential window of vulnerability, assuming this capability even exists within the organization.

Why do 67% of SOC analysts feel like a new job or even a new career sounds like a good idea right now? The reason: alerts. Or, to be more specific, the fact that the time it takes for SOC analysts to deal with security alerts and tickets exceeds the amount of time they have available.

Prioritizing the security of your Kubernetes environment is of utmost importance. As organizations increasingly rely on containerization for their applications, the need for robust security measures is ever-growing. But security doesn’t work in isolation; it should seamlessly blend into your workflow.

Financial services institutions (FSIs) have become an increasingly common target for malicious actors. According to Boston Consulting Group, FSIs are 300 times more likely to face cyber attacks than other sectors, and the 2022 VansonBourne report noted that 94% of the FSIs it surveyed experienced a cyber attack in the last 12 months.

Netskope has recently released two exciting enhancements to our Advanced UEBA product. The enhancements are: Together, these two new features streamline operationalization of Advanced UEBA by providing operators alerts when it identifies users exhibiting risky behavior and an at-a-glance summary of the risky activity observed for each user.

This doesn’t mean that every EDR alert is a malicious event in progress. Many are “false positives” or malicious behaviour that is actually not a threat.
