Struggling with the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape often means feeling one step behind cybercriminals. Interconnected cloud ecosystems expand your digital footprint, increasing the attack surface. More users, data, and devices connected to your networks mean more monitoring for cyber attacks. Detecting suspicious activity before or during the forensic investigation is how centralized log management supports cybersecurity.

As stated in our previous threat advisory STRT-TA02 in regards to destructive software, past historical data suggests that for malicious actors to succeed in long-standing campaigns they must improve and add new ways of making their payloads stealthier, resistant, and damaging. HermeticWiper introduces some unique features, applying destructive actions on compromised hosts.

With the exponential rise in cybercrimes in the last decade, cybersecurity for businesses is no longer an option — it’s a necessity. Fuelled by the forced shift to remote working due to the pandemic, US businesses saw an alarming 50% rise in reported cyber attacks per week from 2020 to 2021.

As you’re settling in with your Monday morning coffee, your email pings. The subject line reads, “Documentation Request.” With the internal sigh that only happens on a Monday morning when compliance is about to change your entire to-do list, you remember it’s that time of the year again. You need to pull together the documentation for your external auditor as part of your annual ISO 27000 and ISO 27001 audit.

The complexity of keeping organizations, customers, and employees safe from cyber threats increases every day. Security teams are often overwhelmed with the need to manage multiple workflows across a myriad of tools. The combination of Humio and Tines helps customers build a clear picture of what's really going on within their environment and automate effective responses at speed and scale.

It’s that time of the year again. The annual and dreaded IT and security audit is ramping up. You just received the documentation list and need to pull everything together. You have too much real work to do, but you need to prove your compliance posture to this outsider. Using log management for compliance monitoring and documentation can make audits less stressful and time-consuming.

I joined Devo in May of 2021 to lead the company’s FedRAMP efforts. After a lot of work from many talented, experienced people, we have reached our first public milestone.

We couldn’t have achieved this initial milestone without their support.
