Networks are the data highways upon which you build your digital transformation infrastructure. Like interstate highways transmit goods, networks transmit data. Every connected user and device is a network digital on-ramp. When malicious actors gain unauthorized access to networks, organizations must detect and contain them as quickly as possible, requiring security analysts to embark on a digital high-speed chase.

When I started Resurface, my core thesis was that web and API security brought unique requirements requiring purpose-built data systems. Using Splunk at scale for API monitoring was/is prohibitively expensive. Using Hadoop or Kafka requires a nerd army to run at any scale. Few data platforms include a mature web or API monitoring model, so this has to be custom-overlaid at significant expense.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform our industry. At Splunk, we see it as a catalyst for driving digital resilience — a way to accelerate human decision making in service of incident detection, investigation and response.

Hi there, As organizations strive to enhance the cyber resilience of their operations, the scope of SOC teams is expanding beyond traditional enterprise IT.

As SOCs continue to grow and mature, it's vital that they establish effective and repeatable programs in proactive defense. This also means that threat hunting needs to become a critical function. Numerous advanced and sophisticated threats are able to get past more traditional cybersecurity defenses and SOCs need skilled Threat Hunters who are able to search, log, monitor, and remediate threats before they create a serious problem.

In today's data-driven world, businesses must navigate the complexities of data management while ensuring compliance with an ever-growing array of laws and regulations. Two concepts that often arise in this context are data sovereignty vs data residency. While related, these terms refer to distinct aspects of data management. Understanding their differences is crucial for businesses to make informed decisions on where to store their data and how to remain compliant with data protection regulations.

Like many concepts at the intersection of software engineering and cybersecurity, threat detection has emerged as a recent candidate to adopt the ‘as-code’ discipline to detection. This is driven by two key factors: Detection as Code is a new paradigm that brings a structured, systematic and flexible methodology for threat detection inspired by the as-code best practice of software engineering, commonly adopted in DevOps and Agile software development frameworks.

Baselines are an essential part of effective cybersecurity. They provide a snapshot of normal activity within your network, which enables you to easily identify abnormal or suspicious behavior. Baseline hunting is a proactive approach to threat detection that involves setting up a baseline of normal activity, monitoring that baseline for deviations, and investigating any suspicious activity.

Risks are everywhere. Online, in real life. Digital transformation and the rapid integration of cloud-based technologies has been met with an unprecedented increase in cybersecurity risks. In most cases, standard cybersecurity best practices and a strong mechanism for Identity and Access Management will take care of most exploits, vulnerabilities and human errors that lead to a data leak.
