The CISO role has evolved in recent years. CISO’s don’t come just from technical and security backgrounds anymore. Each organization has their own distinct vision for how to solve their security needs whether they are customer, regulatory, or industry driven. I started out my career as an external auditor, with the goal of becoming a CFO.

Welcome to our technical blog, where we’ll be diving into the world of Graylog and how you can secure your Graylog Server with Transport Layer Security (TLS). As an admin or a tech-savvy user, you know the importance of protecting your Graylog Server and the logs it manages from unauthorized access.

Kubernetes, and containerization in general, has a wealth of benefits for many teams operating cloud-native applications. From a threat detection standpoint, however, it is often difficult for newcomers to this space to gain the relevant hands-on experience without trampling over production environments. The Sumo Logic team has previously authored articles on Kubernetes DevSecOps vulnerabilities and best practices as well as Kubernetes logging and monitoring.

In life, you get a lot of different alerts. Your bank may send emails or texts about normal account activities, like privacy notices, product updates, or account statements. It also sends alerts when someone fraudulently makes a purchase with your credit card. You can ignore most of the normal messages, but you need to pay attention to the fraud alerts. Security is the same way.

Over the past twenty years, security information and event management (SIEM) platforms have been one of the key solutions for cybersecurity management, as they help security teams centralize attack and threat detection activities. The cybersecurity industry is now shifting towards a new type of solution known as extended detection and response (XDR). As the two technologies are similar and have overlapping capabilities, many people still don’t know how they differ.

Security information and event management (SIEM) systems are crucial to cyber security, providing a solution for collecting and analyzing alerts from all manner of security tools, network infrastructure, and applications. But simply having a SIEM is not enough because to be truly effective, it must be properly configured, managed, and monitored 24x7.
