According to Gartner, “By 2026, organizations prioritizing their security investments based on a continuous exposure management program will be three times less likely to suffer from a breach.” But what exactly is CTEM?

This week, I’m excited to announce Cloud Enrichment for AWS, GCP, and Azure. These enhancements are designed to accelerate incident response and unlock threat hunting capabilities by automatically combining the insights of your cloud network with the native control plane data from your cloud service provider.

The cybersecurity landscape is rapidly evolving, and nowhere is this more evident than in the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) market. This period of transformation, marked by strategic mergers and high-stakes buyouts, signals not only a race for market dominance, but also the potential for profound changes in how cybersecurity solutions will operate in the future.

Back in 2013, Gartner’s Anton Chuvakin set out to name a new set of security solutions to detect suspicious activity on endpoints. After what he called, “a long agonizing process that involved plenty of conversations with vendors, enterprises, and other analysts,” Chuvakin came up with this phrase: endpoint threat detection and response.

The digital economy runs on APIs, the building blocks of the modern internet. From effortless mobile payments to convenient food deliveries, APIs work silently behind the scenes to power the applications we use every day. While APIs aren't new, their usage has exploded in recent years. Cloud computing, agile development practices, and the pandemic-driven surge in digital services have fueled this rapid growth.

The cybersecurity landscape is evolving, and Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions are becoming indispensable for consistent visibility across an increasing attack surface.

In the constantly evolving world of cybersecurity, staying ahead of emerging threats requires continuous vigilance and adaptation. Fortunately for those of us in the industry, we’ve been able to count on highly respected digital forensics and incident response specialists like Mandiant to publish annual research on the latest security trends seen first-hand by their global teams.

Today, the Splunk Threat Research Team is thrilled to introduce ShellSweepPlus, an advancement in our ongoing mission to combat the persistent threat of web shells. Building upon the solid foundation of its predecessor ShellSweep, ShellSweepPlus is an enhanced version that takes web shell detection to new heights, incorporating cutting-edge techniques and a multifaceted approach to safeguard your web environments.

The Black Hat network is unlike an enterprise network. The network operations center (NOC), which Corelight helps to operate, sees traffic that would never be permissible on most enterprise networks. Still, in many ways the Black Hat network is a microcosm of many real-world environments, with similar challenges that require similar solutions.
