So, here’s the deal with AntiVirus software these days: It’s mostly playing catch-up with super-fast athletes — the malware guys. Traditional AV software is like old-school detectives who need a picture (or, in this case, a ‘signature’) of the bad guys to know who they’re chasing. The trouble is, these malware creators are quite sneaky — constantly changing their look and creating new disguises faster than AntiVirus can keep up with their photos.

We’re extremely excited to announce the availability of the EventSentry v5.1, which will detect threats and suspicious behavior more effectively – while also providing users with additional reports and dashboards for CMMC and TISAX compliance. The usability of EventSentry was also improved across the board, making it easier to use, manage and maintain EventSentry on a day-by-day basis. We also released 60+ training videos to help you get started and take EventSentry to the next level.

In Part 1 of this series, we talked about some challenges with building sufficient coverage for detecting security threats. We also discussed how telemetry sources like logs are invaluable for detecting potential threats to your environment because they provide crucial details about who is accessing service resources, why they are accessing them, and whether any changes have been made.

Security Monitoring is the catch-all name for the process of detecting threats and managing security incidents. It’s generally broken into two phases: In this article, let's take a look at what security monitoring means and how it forms the foundation for your cybersecurity posture.

It’s not news that organizations’ networks are increasing in complexity. The rise of hybrid work, the proliferation of the cloud, and the increased use of IoT devices has pushed networks far outside the server room — and even the four walls of the office — into a digital-first realm. While these changes have increased efficiency, scalability, and how operations work in the modern age, they’ve also created new avenues for cybercriminals to launch an attack.

In today’s ever changing cyber risk landscape, your organization must adopt a vulnerability management framework to control exposure and remediate risks in a timely manner. In an earlier blog, we explained the vulnerability management process. Here, we explore a key part of that process – vulnerability monitoring – in greater depth.
