Email is the top initial attack vector, with phishing campaigns responsible for many damaging cyber attacks, including ransomware. Being able to search Mimecast email security logs in CrowdStrike Falcon® LogScale (formerly known as Humio), alongside other log sources such as endpoint, network and authentication data helps cybersecurity teams detect and respond to cyber attacks.
This post covers how to ingest data into CrowdStrike Falcon® LogScale from your MacOS platform using Python. This guide is great for setting up a one-node proof of concept (POC) so you can take advantage of LogScale’s free trial. Before you can write your ingest client, you must prepare a good foundation. That means preparing your MacOS instance via the following steps: Ready? Let’s get started.
Here at Graylog, we have recently had an increase in conversations with security teams from leading companies. We want to share our key findings with the Graylog community. The good thing is that cybercriminals use a methodical approach when planning an attack. By understanding their process and knowing your network, you will be better prepared and able to stay one step ahead.
