Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

2020 was a challenging year for modern enterprises. In under a year, we experienced a decade's worth of transformation while a global pandemic raged on. And while the worst of COVID-19 will hopefully soon be behind us, the need to continuously transform our digital environment is unequivocally here to stay. We've already seen an example of this, thanks to a significant increase in data generated from across the business.

Since we’ve accumulated a lot of resources around EventSentry that are updated frequently, we’ve decided to launch a GitHub page where anyone can access and download scripts, configuration templates, screen backgrounds and our brand-new PowerShell module that is still under development.

What is the best SIEM for a Managed SOC? Security information and event management (SIEM) software, is software that grants security professionals in enterprises insight, as well as a track record of the activities taking place in their IT environment.

There’s an old expression: When you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Therefore, is it right for a security company such as Devo to consider all data security data? Let’s examine that concept. Recently I participated in a panel discussion at the GDS Security Insight Summit Europe with my colleague Dean Robertson who heads solution engineering for Devo in EMEA.

Threat hunting is emerging as a must-have addition to cybersecurity strategies. By enabling organizations to find and mitigate threats before they ever touch their networks or systems, threat hunting provides the basis for a more proactive security posture – and one that delivers higher ROI on security tools and processes. How can businesses actually add threat hunting to their security arsenals? That’s where solutions like Sumo Logic's Cloud SIEM come in.

Devo recently published a new research report Beyond Cloud Adoption: How to Embrace the Cloud for Security and Business Benefits, based on a survey conducted by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). ESG surveyed 500 IT and security professionals working in the security operations center (SOC) chain of command at organizations with more than 1,000 employees in North America and Western Europe. The survey took place in the first quarter of 2021. This is the first in a series of posts about the report.

SIEMs have been around for decades, designed to replace manual log correlation to identify suspicious network activity by normalizing alerts across multiple technology vendors. SIEMs correlate massive amounts of data from the sensor grid (your internal security solutions, mission-critical applications and IT infrastructure). As organizations are looking at ways to mine through SIEM data to find threats and breaches, they are bringing in threat intelligence feeds to help.

A cyberattack is expected to occur every 11 seconds in 2021 — nearly double the frequency just a year earlier. These incidents often involve breaches of sensitive proprietary information and cost the organizations involved millions of dollars. Despite all the resources being devoted to improving cybersecurity, new threats continue to arise faster than defense capabilities.
