CIS Control 13: Network Monitoring and Defense
Cybersecurity today seems like an arms race: Enterprises implement more and more security tools to try defend their networks against increasingly frequent and sophisticated attacks. But simply increasing the number of tools in your arsenal is not an effective cybersecurity strategy.
Corelight for the everywhere cloud
Editor's note: This is the first in five-part series authored by Ed Amoroso, founder and CEO of TAG Cyber, which will focuses on how the Corelight platform reduces network security risks to the so-called Everywhere Cloud (EC). Such security protection addresses threats to devices and assets on any type of network, including both perimeter and zero-trust based.
Visibility Helps Global Energy Company AES Assess Risk and Secure its OT Networks
With 70 international plants spanning 15 different countries, the AES Corporation is a next-generation energy company helping lead the way to a carbon-neutral future. Like many organizations, AES wanted to improve the security posture within their OT networks with technology spanning multiple vendors. Recently I sat down with Kyle Oetken, Director of Cyber Defense, and Andrew Plunket, Sr. Cybersecurity Engineer (OT), at AES to discuss the challenges and lessons learned for securing OT environments.
Wi-Fi routers and access points are the most vulnerable IT devices
Today, the number and diversity of connected devices continue to grow in enterprises, no matter which sector they operate in. This has created a new challenge for organizations as they need to understand and manage the risks they are exposed to. We keep saying that the attack surface is expanding, and that's because it now spans IT, IoT, and OT for most enterprises, with the addition of IoMT in healthcare.
Is Network Evidence Really Needed for Security Operations?
Networks are the transport fabric for all IT however in the modern world they have become harder to access and monitor. Attackers inevitably leave traces on the network, and for this reason defenders understand the value of high-quality network evidence. But given the rise of encryption, digital transformation, Zero Trust architectures, and SASE… is it even feasible to collect network evidence anymore? Maybe we should throw in the towel and do without it?

Load Balancing Kubernetes Application Traffic for Best Results
In the same way that conventional software relies on application load balancers for dependability, accessibility, and efficiency, a cloud-based setup necessitates a cloud load balancer to distribute workloads across a company's cloud resources. It's crucial to balance the traffic of Kubernetes applications for optimal user experience. A cloud load balancer spreads network traffic across multiple clouds and load balancing traffic for Kubernetes applications, allowing for the distribution of demand evenly across the Kubernetes pods that constitute the service.
