Combining Monitoring Approaches For Well-Rounded FIM | Tips & Tricks Ep.2

Traditional, agent-based monitoring from Tripwire® Enterprise brings best-in-breed file integrity monitoring (FIM) to your organization’s IT infrastructure. In regular practice, an agent is deployed to a supported operating system to facilitate asset monitoring. But how do you enforce FIM on operating systems that have reached their end-of-life for support, or endpoints that aren’t able to have agents installed?

Dynamic Observability: Troubleshooting Techniques for 2021

A new generation of troubleshooting techniques are making their way into the mainstream. These techniques make observability more dynamic, configurable, and intuitive. In this webinar, we discussed the importance of these new techniques, how they enable you to solve customer issues faster and increase your velocity.

Open Banking Opportunities to Retain and Delight Existing Customers

The banking landscape is changing. The days of walled garden banking where customers can’t see or access information from all their financial institutions in one place are coming to a close. For banks, and the entire financial services industry, open banking isn’t a threat but a customer service opportunity. Instead of putting barriers between customers and their financial information at other institutions, banks can offer value-added insights across accounts and institutions.

Detect unauthorized third parties in your AWS account

Detecting when an unauthorized third party is accessing your AWS account is critical to ensuring your account remains secure. For example, an attacker may have gained access to your environment and created a backdoor to maintain persistence within your environment. Another common (and more frequent) type of unauthorized access can happen when a developer sets up a third-party tool and grants it access to your account to monitor your infrastructure for operations or optimize your bill.

MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Round 3: Carbanak + FIN7 vs. the free and open capabilities in Elastic Security

Whether this is the third time you are looking at the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK® evaluation results or your first, you may be asking yourself: what was unique about this year’s evaluation? Well, let’s first start with: who is MITRE Engenuity? They are a tech foundation that collaborates with the private sector on many initiatives — most notably cybersecurity — and in recent years have become synonymous with cyber threat evaluations.

Introducing AT&T's Managed Endpoint Security with SentinelOne

With 5G, edge solutions, and digital transformation all around us, every enterprise should be taking a closer look at their endpoint security and evaluate options that will be able to keep pace with this dynamic new environment.The newly introduced AT&T Managed Endpoint Security with SentinelOne™ offer brings world class managed services with comprehensive endpoint security.

Agentless Monitoring with Tripwire Enterprise: What You Need to Know

As we know, Tripwire Enterprise (TE) is the de-facto go-to solution for File Integrity Monitoring (FIM). In normal operations, we deploy a TE agent to a system we want to monitor. TE then uses that agent to baseline the system against the appropriate rules, creating a known good state for that system. Moving forward, that system is monitored for change per the rules that were used to create the baseline.

Detect anomalous activity in your environment with new term-based Detection Rules

When it comes to securing your production environment, it’s essential that your security teams are able to detect any suspicious activity before it becomes a more serious threat. While detecting clear-cut attacker techniques is essential, being able to spot unknowns is vital for full security coverage.

Bits of Security, Security Panel

Have a question you’ve been wanting to ask about security at scale, supply chain, or managing great security teams? Join our speakers, industry experts, and Datadog’s very own CISO for an AMA on the “Art of Defense.” We’ll explore all of the topics from the conference speaking sessions and open the door to questions on what we may see from attack and defense in 2021 and beyond.

Bits of Security

The past year introduced a plethora of challenges for security practitioners. While the range of cyber attacks has been vast, these attacks have been confronted with creative defense tactics and techniques. Join Datadog for a practitioner-focused event where we will examine the “Art of Defense,” which will include a range of topics from social problems to engineering challenges around supply chain attacks.

Securing Your Supply Chain with CIS and Tripwire

Where were you when you first heard about the SolarWinds breach? It’s not unusual for information security professionals to learn about a breach. Keeping track of the news is part of the job. The SolarWinds attack, however, was different for two primary reasons. First, it reached the level of mainstream news. The majority of breaches stay mostly in the industry press.

Why You Need to Closely Monitor Your Exchange Servers

Monitoring your on-prem and hybrid cloud infrastructure has always been important. With an ever-growing rise in cyber attacks, zero-day exploits, and insider threats, keeping track of your infrastructure has a renewed level of significance. Microsoft Exchange is one of the most prominent enterprise systems in use today, with both cloud and on-prem iterations.

Bits of Security, Snyk.io: Stranger Danger: Finding Security Vulnerabilities Before They Find You!

Open source modules on the NPM ecosystem are undoubtedly awesome. However, they also represent an undeniable and massive risk, since you’re introducing someone else’s code into your system, often with little or no scrutiny. The wrong package can introduce critical vulnerabilities into your application, exposing your application and your user's data. This talk will use a sample application, Goof, which uses various vulnerable dependencies, which we will exploit as an attacker would. For each issue, we'll explain why it happened, show its impact, and—most importantly—learn how to avoid or fix it.

Bits of Security, PedidosYa: Fraud Detection using Datadog and Sherlock

From day one, most organizations,especially the big ones, are targeted with a broad range of attacks. These range from information exfiltration attempts to fraud. Although a great majority of them can be addressed with the help of a Web Application Firewall, there are some that require more extensive tooling. Join me as I show you how we use Sherlock and Datadog to block 30,000+ fraudulent users per week in seconds. We will also discuss other applications and how you can implement similar solutions.

Datadog acquires Sqreen to strengthen application security

Today, we are thrilled to announce that Sqreen, an application security platform, is joining the Datadog team. Together, these products further integrate the work of security, development, and ops teams—and provide a robust, full-stack security monitoring solution for the cloud age.

What is a ROPA, why you need one, and how to make the process easier.

Working toward GDPR compliance means taking inventory on the data you collect and process. You've mapped your data, have a catalog of impact assessments, but now you need a way to present it in a way that regulators can look over. As far as the general data protection regulation (GDPR) is concerned, every piece of data processing you do needs a record, and those records are stored in a record of processing activities (ROPA). Regulators use a ROPA to get a full picture of your data processing.

How Tripwire Can Help U.S. Federal Agencies Implement the CIS Controls

Digital attackers are increasingly launching sophisticated campaigns in an effort to target U.S. federal agencies and other organizations. Two recent examples demonstrate this reality. These are the SolarWinds supply chain attack and the HAFNIUM Exchange exploit campaign.

Integrity: How It's More than Just Data Security and FIM

Integrity is a word thrown around a lot in the cybersecurity space. That’s not surprising. It is one of the three components that make up the CIA Triad, after all. However, the meaning and use of the word has been relatively limited in many security circles up until now. Let’s take a look at the security industry more broadly. In most conversations dealing with integrity, data security and File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) controls often end up being the primary focal areas.

What's the Most Powerful Tool in Your Security Arsenal?

Trying to work out the best security tool is a little like trying to choose a golf club three shots ahead – you don’t know what will help you get to the green until you’re in the rough. Traditionally, when people think about security tools, firewalls, IAM and permissions, encryption, and certificates come to mind. These tools all have one thing in common – they’re static.
