Announcing Context Engine: Focus on the alerts that matter
Today, I’m delighted to announce the release of Jit’s Context Engine, which uses the runtime context of vulnerabilities to automatically prioritize the top security risks in our customers’ cloud applications. One of the defining challenges of product security is the overwhelming volume of alerts generated by code and cloud security scanners, which is especially painful when the majority of “issues” don’t pose any real security risk.
The Crucial Role of Fall Detection in Modern Medical Alert Systems
As the global population ages, ensuring the safety and well-being of older adults becomes increasingly important. Falls are a major health risk for the elderly, often leading to severe injuries, reduced mobility, and a loss of independence. Fall detection technology, integrated into modern medical alert systems, plays a crucial role in mitigating these risks. This article explores the significance of fall detection, the technology behind it, and its impact on the health and safety of seniors.
Overcoming cyber security alert fatigue
Relying on technology alone, however advanced, can be a critical error. While top end security technologies can provide part of the answer, the sheer number of alerts generated demands constant attention. Without the right resources to analyse and manage these outputs, critical alerts may end up being ignored – a constant thorn in the side of many organisations.
How To Get Real-Time Notifications for Denied Traffic With Prometheus and AlertManager
Network policies are essential for securing your Kubernetes clusters. They allow you to control which pods can communicate with each other, and to what extent. However, it can be difficult to keep track of all of your network policies and to ensure that they are configured correctly. This is especially true if you have a large and complex cluster with more than 100 nodes. One way to address this challenge is to leverage Prometheus and AlertManager embedded in Calico Enterprise/Cloud.
Empowering Your Defense: Synergy between Data Loss Prevention Controls and Automated Alert Remediation
In today's digital world, the stakes of data loss are high, and the cost of cybercrime continues to escalate. In fact, IBM recently estimated that the average cost of a data breach was $4.45 million in 2023, a 15% increase over the previous three years.
How to Save Your SOC Analysts From Alert Fatigue
SecOps teams face an unyielding barrage of security signals raised by various systems and tools. It’s estimated that 56% of large companies receive 1,000 or more alerts per day. SOC analysts are expected to wade through these alerts and determine which ones are important, which are low priority, and which are imperative. According to IDC, 83% of cybersecurity employees say they’re struggling to cope with the overwhelming alert volume.
Beyond CVSS: Mitigating Alert Fatigue, Accurately
CVSS score is valuable for assessing open vulnerability risk. However, despite the obvious difference in risk, CVSS scores overlook the distinction between vulnerabilities in staging versus production. This issue compounds with factors such as the number and types of applications, vulnerability types, and zero-day threats. Ultimately, leading to Alert Fatigue that helps no one as security teams need to triage 100s of vulnerabilities.
Smart thresholds: The answer to your security alert fatigue
SIEM solutions operate based on thresholds. These thresholds serve as predefined benchmarks that generate alerts when the alert criteria is met. While effective to some extent, this approach falls short on multiple fronts, particularly in the context of sophisticated attacks and dynamic environments. Static thresholds falling short One of the fundamental flaws of static thresholds lies in their rigidity.
Managed Detection and Response: A Cure for Cyber Alert Fatigue and Scalability Challenges
Alert fatigue is a long-standing problem in cybersecurity that only increases in severity as a company grows. In that sense, alert fatigue is inextricably tied to another challenge: the need for scalability in cybersecurity. Quite often, the remedy for both is to get help, such as with a managed detection and response (MDR) service that can triage, investigate, and respond to alerts. Market numbers help illustrate the scope of the issue.
