Retailers are facing a more challenging cybersecurity environment than ever, according to a new study, Cybersecurity solutions for a riskier world. With physical and digital worlds colliding, greater levels of regulation, and more savvy cybercriminals, executives agree that we have entered a new era of cyber risk. In fact, 30% of retailers say they are not prepared for the threats ahead. In response to these changes, the role of the retail CISO is expanding.

Cyber attacks on corporate networks were up 50% in 2021, and it’s expected that 2022 will see more of the same. Elastic Endpoint Security includes a variety of protection layers to ensure maximum coverage against different types of malware. There have been a few examples recently of the need for fast, accurate updates of user environments in order to protect against the latest malware.

Cyber resiliency is the new norm in cybersecurity. Nothing can be 100% secure, and you’re looking for a cost-effective solution to enhance your security posture. At the same time, the rapidly expanding cybersecurity technology market makes it hard to find something that best fits your needs. Most people looking at Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms want a tool that gives them high fidelity alerts to prevent their security analysts from drowning in false positives.

Using the NIST framework, ThoughtLab recently concluded a cybersecurity benchmark study that spanned across industries, including telecommunications. There is an urgent call to action for organizations to think and implement cybersecurity processes and technologies more strategically. The study shed some positive light for telecom companies as compared to peer industries.

Let’s admit it — switching to a new SIEM can be tough. And expensive. But even when it isn’t tough or expensive, it’s always scary.

One of the universal truths in technology is that security always lags behind innovation. Companies must move quickly as they seek to innovate, increase efficiencies and be disruptive in ever-crowded markets. Living on the bleeding edge means you will get a few cuts, but the risk of not adopting new technologies is greater than those of a few system failures or breaches. One challenge is that it is often not apparent what new risks exist until boundaries are pushed.

Today Devo announced Devo SciSec, which brings together a talented team of threat research, advanced data science, and machine learning experts under the leadership of CTO Gunter Ollmann to help our customers preemptively detect and mitigate entire classes of threats. See and hear what Gunter has to say about SciSec in this video. Even before their formal introduction, the SciSec team has been busy delivering value-added capabilities to Devo customers.

With more and more organizations moving from traditional on-premises infrastructure to the cloud, it remains critical for organizations to have robust security monitoring, regardless of their cloud platform of choice. Sumo Logic Threat Labs has expanded our log parsing, mapping and detection rules for Microsoft Azure. While our Cloud SIEM has broad coverage for AWS and GCP platforms, we wanted to close the gap for Azure coverage, which previously addressed: Azure - Event Hub Deleted Signal Firing.
