The importance of event correlation techniques in SIEM

Event correlation tools are a fundamental instrument in your toolbox to detect threats from all sources across your organization in real time. A wise use of the right event correlation techniques through log management and analysis is the cornerstone of any reliable security information and event management (SIEM) strategy – a strategy that focuses on prevention rather than reaction.

The Dark Net's One-Stop-Shop for Cybercrime: Ransomware

In this video, I'll be taking you on a chilling journey through the inner workings of the dark net's cybercrime underworld. I'll show you how easy it is to buy a compromised server, purchase ransomware-as-a-service components, and install an Xbox kit to deploy the attack with friends. But the real eye-opener is the endgame: turning the stolen Bitcoin into cash. I'll reveal how Tumblr services on the dark net are used to launder money, and how traditional criminals use Doctrine to convert it into physical cash. Join me as I guide you step-by-step through this one-stop-shop for cybercrime, and expose the alarming ease with which it can all be accomplished. - Oliver Rochford

A Breach Makes You Stronger

There are two kinds of CISOs: pre-breach and post-breach. Pre-breach CISOs are overly focused on tools and thinking about investing in prevention technologies.

Navigating the security challenges of multi-tenancy in a cloud environment

Multi-tenancy can maximize the number of resources that are utilized in a cluster by sharing these resources between different groups, teams, or customers. However, boundaries must be placed to avoid problems associated with resource-sharing. On top of that, in a multi-tenant cluster, the number of security policies might gradually grow to the point where a slight misconfiguration could cause major security problems, performance issues, and service disruptions.
