After covering the importance of unique usernames in yesterday's blog, we would be remiss not to take a look at the second half of most login credentials: passwords. These are important because, despite increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity technologies and methodologies, 86% of breaches still involve stolen credentials.

Organizations face a monumental challenge managing cyber risk and vulnerabilities across expanding digital environments. Research indicates that security teams can remediate merely 10% of detected vulnerabilities due to resource limitations, emphasizing the urgent need for optimized prioritization methods. Risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) addresses this challenge by focusing remediation efforts on vulnerabilities posing genuine risk to specific organizational assets and infrastructure.

It’s well-trodden ground by now, but generative AI is really one of the business world’s most important technologies. Like it or not, it will soon become integral to everyday business operations.

Security issues or challenges can happen for several reasons, which can be prevented, but can also occur due to insider threats or a lack of employee cybersecurity knowledge.

Sequenced event templates are pretty cool, but they were developed around the time that Risk-based Alerting (RBA) was developed in Splunk Enterprise Security. Additionally, they don’t have all the great context we can generate with the holistic picture provided by risk, so I want to provide guidance on how we would implement its equivalent in the RBA context as they are now deprecated in Splunk Enterprise Security 8.0. There are two approaches we can utilize that do slightly different things.

Container security has experienced significant transformation over the past decade. From the emergence of foundational tools like Docker to the maturation of orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes, the container security landscape looks different than it did even a few years ago. With Gartner predicting 95% of organizations will be running containerized applications in production by 2028, it’s clear that container security is going to be a key priority for most organizations moving forward.

Are you looking to validate if your cloud services are resilient and adequately secured? Consider the following five cloud security benchmarks to assess your organization’s cloud deployments. CISOs know that their security programs should be data-driven and that metrics are integral to communicating the status of security capabilities to organizational stakeholders, including the executive leadership team and the board of directors.
