On July 19, 2024, CrowdStrike released configuration updates for its Windows sensor, aiming to enhance security and performance. Unfortunately, this update inadvertently led to widespread downtime, manifesting as Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) on millions of machines worldwide. The BSOD, a critical system error screen, halts all operations, rendering affected systems inoperable until resolved.

When it comes to cybersecurity, ransomware is probably one of the first threats you think of. It seems like it’s everywhere — and it is. Ransomware is one of the most notorious cyber threats affecting individuals, businesses, and organizations globally. The frequency and impact of these attacks have surged in recent years, making it crucial to understand their nature and how to protect against them.

In 2016, a house in Middle, Ohio, went up in flames. The owner of the home, Ross Compton, claimed he was asleep when the fire broke out, waking just in time to hastily pack a suitcase, smash his bedroom window, and make an escape. However, the very technology keeping Compton alive unraveled his alibi and led to his arrest. Compton had a pacemaker, and the police, suspicious of his account, secured a warrant to access its data.

As outlined in a previous post, OpenTelemetry and Splunk Observability Cloud can provide great visibility when security teams investigate activity in modern environments. In this post, we look at another aspect of this visibility: how you can use traces to see directly into the workings of an application to find a potential threat. Let’s imagine we’re the security analyst, and a message comes across from the Security Operations Center (SOC).

SOC analysts are overwhelmed sifting through a sea of notable events. They are unable to prioritize events and act fast. With Auto Refresh in the Incident Review interface, users will not have to re-run the Incident Response search or refresh the page. Furthermore, an interactive timeline for notable events within the Incident Response interface enables the SOC to quickly prioritize critical incidents.

With the enhanced risk analysis dashboard in Splunk Enterprise Security, security analysts can now monitor user entity risk events from detections across risk-based alerting and behavioral analytics, which provides a deeper, and more holistic, layer of visibility across all detection events.

A SOC analyst's day-to-day tasks involve investigating notable events to gather information about security incidents. Recent enhancements within the Incident Review and Risk Analysis dashboards in Splunk Enterprise Security allows analysts to streamline their investigation process and reduce the number of manual tasks they perform daily. Multiple drill-down searches on correlation rules, updates to "dispositions" in the Incident Review dashboard, and hyperlinks in Correlation Search “Next Steps” allow for faster, more efficient investigations.

Do you have a plan for cybersecurity? Digital technology is touching every aspect of our lives, which is giving bad actors unlimited runway to create new threats daily. It's this atmosphere that makes it imperative that organizations are prepared, informed and actively hunting for adversaries.

Cyberattacks are top of mind for organizations across the globe. In fact, 62 percent of firms are being attacked at least weekly and 45 percent are experiencing a rise in the number of security threats. But do organizations have the processes in place to investigate and effectively respond to these incidents? IDC recently surveyed security decision makers at 600 organizations to understand the state of security operations today.

A security information event management (SIEM) solution is like a radar system that pilots and air traffic controllers use. Without one, enterprise IT is flying blind. Although security appliances and system software are good at catching and logging isolated attacks and anomalous behavior, today's most serious threats are distributed, acting in concert across multiple systems and using advanced evasion techniques to avoid detection.

Security incidents can happen without warning and they often go undetected for long periods of time. Organizations struggle to identify incidents because they often work in silos or because the amount of alerts is overwhelming and hard to determine the signals among the noise.

All data is security relevant and defending against threats involves every department in a company. With cyberthreats and bad actors constantly evolving, it is imperative for everyone in an organization to come together to identify and protect critical data.

Recent cyberattacks have made it clear that organizations of all sizes need to focus on a holistic and cohesive security strategy. Security operations centers (SOCs) have become a focal point in this effort, consolidating the right people, processes and technology to mitigate and remediate attacks.

Current IT security tools and mindsets are no longer adequate to meet the scope and complexity of today's threats. Internet security has evolved over the last ten years but advanced persistent threats and the sophistication of the malware have fundamentally changed the way security teams must think about these new threats and the tools used for detective controls.
