Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) have the potential to be used as tools for cybersecurity attacks, but they are not necessarily a new cybersecurity threat in themselves. Let’s have a look at the hype vs. the reality. The use of generative AI and LLMs in cybersecurity attacks is not new. Malicious actors have long used technology to create convincing scams and attacks.

The Security Operations Center (SOC) is the central unit that manages the overall security posture of any organization. Knowing how your SOC is performing is crucial, so security teams can measure the strength of their operations. This article describes SOC metrics, including their importance, common SOC metrics, and the steps SOC teams can take to improve them.

The world is increasingly embracing cloud technology. The fact that cloud requires minimal infrastructure and operational costs is attracting enterprises to shift to cloud. Remote and hybrid work modes following the pandemic has added to the continued rise of cloud.

For years, efficient Case Management has been one of the single most challenging tasks for security operations professionals. It involves ensuring all threats are proactively identified and prioritized based on risk criticality, and then rapidly investigated and appropriately elevated across all organizational cybersecurity platforms and tools. Optimally, it sets up a near-bulletproof incident response posture that makes the most of an organization’s cybersecurity ecosystem.

In life, you get a lot of different alerts. Your bank may send emails or texts about normal account activities, like privacy notices, product updates, or account statements. It also sends alerts when someone fraudulently makes a purchase with your credit card. You can ignore most of the normal messages, but you need to pay attention to the fraud alerts. Security is the same way.

Security information and event management (SIEM) systems are crucial to cyber security, providing a solution for collecting and analyzing alerts from all manner of security tools, network infrastructure, and applications. But simply having a SIEM is not enough because to be truly effective, it must be properly configured, managed, and monitored 24x7.

When you say, “SOAR is Dead,” you’ll get some attention, and that’s exactly what happened at RSAC 2023. But it wasn’t just a statement that created the buzz.

Threat hunting is the process of proactively searching for hidden threats in an organization’s environment – a critical modern cybersecurity activity. However, relying on manual threat hunting alone can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.

When we talk about emerging technologies and digitization, we often forget that while innovators work to bring the best solutions to market, cybersecurity gurus are concurrently working to identify loopholes and vulnerabilities in these new systems. Gone are the days when cyber attacks were monthly news; instead, they happen almost daily.

Today, Torq transformed security automation forever with the debut of the world’s first enterprise-grade security hyperautomation platform. Why does that matter? I’ll let Gartner explain. It says “Hyperautomation is a business-driven, disciplined approach that organizations use to rapidly identify, vet, and automate as many business and IT processes as possible.” Simply put, it’s the future of security automation, and we’re delivering on its promise, today.
