If you are involved in the cyber security processes, you must have heard of the term threat hunting. In this article, we discussed this rather popular concept in detail. Being one of the buzzing concepts of cyber security, threat hunting has been increasingly popular, but what does it refer to? Do you need it? Should you be doing it? We will answer all these questions in detail.
SIEM deployment process can be rather involved and overwhelming since SIEM can offer a wide array of solutions for different needs of your organization. In this blog post, we discussed the deployment process of SIEM and added a brief checklist. SIEM tools have been one of the most topical tools in the industry for a while now. They offer a wide range of solutions to organizations from various backgrounds and sectors.
Indicator of compromise or IOC is a forensic term that refers to the evidence on a device that points out to a security breach. In this article, we discussed how IOC can be useful for your cyber security team.
It is crucial to invest in cyber security due to state of cybersecurity today. Before making any decisions concerning the security posture of your business, you must consider the Return on Security Investment. In this article, we took a closer look at what ROSI is and how it is calculated.
Cyber defence intelligence has been one of the most popular topics of discussion within the IT circles. What is it? Why is it important? Should you invest in it? We sought answers to all these questions in our article. What is Cyber Defence Intelligence?
What is CSIRT? CSIRT (pronounced see-sirt) refers to the computer security incident response team. The main responsibility of the CSIRT is to expose and avert cyber attacks targeting an organization. As the number of cyber threats grow each and every day, the importance of having a security team that is solely focused on incident response (IR) is fundamental.
Data is regarded as the most valuable asset in today’s business world. The examples of critical data include e-commerce data, e-banking data, and Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Therefore, data security is, and data breaches have become an international concern for individuals as well as organizations. The role of the Cybersecurity Risk Management Framework (RMF) in data security is indispensable.
Nowadays, most of the IT systems use file-based architectures to store and process information. In addition, the critical applications such as operating systems, application binaries, configuration data of systems and applications, organization’s sensitive data, logs, and data which is pertinent to security events are stored in files. If any of these files is compromised, the financial and reputational damage occur to organizations.
If you are involved with cyber security, you must have heard log auditing. In this article we discuss the importance and benefits of log auditing and how it can help improving the security posture of your networks. The definition of audit log (also known as audit trail) is quite straightforward. When the system is applied a change, it leads to a parallel one in the behaviour of the system. This change in the behaviour must be recorded in an audit log.
Logs are the cornerstone in today’s cybersecurity monitoring, investigation, and forensics. According to a Fortune 500 report, an organization’s IT infrastructure can generate up to 10 Terabytes of log data per month. In this post, we will learn about log aggregation and monitoring; then analyze how they can help businesses to strength their cybersecurity posture.
