Adoption of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications means navigating the Shared Responsibility Model. Under the Shared Responsibility Model, the cloud services provider takes care of the infrastructure’s security, but you need to secure what happens within that environment. According to the State of Cloud Native Security Report, 50% of companies surveyed reported that maintaining comprehensive security remained a challenge.

As available software on the market increases, so do vulnerabilities. When a company's system is weak due to vulnerabilities in the software it uses, attackers take advantage of the situation to: This, in turn, causes the company to lose customers, reputation and money. To reduce threats, network personnel and system administrators are always on the front line, constantly patching the organization's software and operating systems. But to what end?

The Russian cyberattacks against the U.S. are ramping up in scope and volume. Last month, a hacking group claimed credit for cyberattacks hitting more than a dozen U.S. airports’ websites, temporarily rendering parts of the sites inaccessible to the public. State-sponsored actives in non-war conditions expend exorbitant efforts to disguise themselves to prevent attribution. They also purposefully limit the scope of their attacks.

Earlier this year, Splunk sponsored the report, "SOC 2025: The Future of Security Operations Centers" from Securosis, which is based on previously published blogs by analyst and president Mike Rothman (now with Techstrong Research).

Homomorphic encryption brings a whole new paradigm to encrypting data. In this article, I’ll explain homomorphic encryption, including.

Whether you are planning to use Graylog for security and threat hunting, IT Operations analysis and reporting, or any other use case, getting your logs into Graylog is essential. The process of log collection is sometimes a daunting task, especially if you are planning to collect massive amounts of data. But if you take a minute to answer some key questions before you begin, you can transform the log collection task from daunting to smooth sailing. Here we go with the questions…

For this how-to guide, we’ll walk through how to use the CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale Log Collector to collect and send log events to your CrowdStrike Falcon® LogScale repository. Although the log shipper supports several types of log sources (see the list here), we’ll cover the use case of collecting log events from journald.

CrowdStrike Falcon® LogScale, formerly known as Humio, provides a full range of dashboarding and live query capabilities out of the box. Sometimes, however, you’ll work in an environment where there are other solutions alongside LogScale. For example, let’s say your operations team takes an observability approach that includes metrics scraped by Prometheus, tracing with Jaeger, and dashboard visualizations with Grafana.

CrowdStrike Falcon Insight XDR™ and CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale™ were hot topics at Fal.Con 2022. We weren’t surprised — both are transformational technologies. They’re also complementary, which spurred some questions about how they work together to solve the toughest IT and security challenges. Here, we dig into the details and clear up some common questions about what these tools do, when they should be used and the value they provide.
