Network troubleshooting was always a crucial but intimidating element of guaranteeing error-free connection and operational proficiency. Packet Captures (PCAPs) are the go-to standard solution for diagnosing connectivity problems, locating network impediments, and uncovering ultimate causes of failure. As strong as PCAPs are, however, traditional manual methods for deciphering them are limited to built-in faults.

Hey folks, let's be real. Change in the tech world can be a real pain. Especially when it's not on your terms. We've all heard the news about Skybox closing its doors, and if you're like a lot of us, you're probably feeling a mix of frustration and "what now?" It's tough when a private equity decision, like the one impacting Skybox, shakes up your network security strategy. You've invested time and resources in your Skybox implementation, and now you're looking at a forced switch.

Today, when online threats are always changing, it's more important than ever to keep your network safe. Keep your computer safe with a stateful firewall. It keeps an eye on all open links and sorts data smartly based on security rules, state, and context. In real time, stateful firewalls can decide how to protect your network because they keep track of all live sessions. Without a state, filters look at each file separately, which is not the same thing.

Zeek is a powerful open-source network analysis tool that allows users to monitor traffic and detect malicious activities. Users can write packages to detect cybersecurity events, like this GitHub repo that detects C2 from AgentTesla (a well-known malware family). Automating summarization and documentation using AI is often helpful when analyzing Zeek packages.

Many organizations have a vulnerability management (VM) problem without knowing it. Vulnerability management is a crucial component of any organization’s cybersecurity program and is required by most major compliance standards because of its sink-or-swim impact on network security. One of the biggest issues in VM is that organizations aren’t testing the entirety of their networks. Could yours be among them?

Ever feel like some tools are designed by people who’ve never had to use them? Like those public restroom hand dryers that leave your hands wetter than before, or CAPTCHAs that make you question if you even know what a bicycle looks like—it’s like a bad joke at our expense. In the 2022 Devo SOC Performance Report, questions were raised about the biggest challenges faced by security operations center (SOC) teams.

DDI Central has officially launched its latest version, 5.1 (Service Pack 5001), bringing a powerhouse of automation, real-time insights, security, and efficiency to DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (DDI) management. Packed with features and enhancements such as advanced REST APIs, WebSocket-based real-time collaboration, enhanced analytics, and intuitive tools, this update is designed to streamline network operations, enhance visibility, and drive network performance like never before.

In today’s hyperconnected industrial landscape, IoT and OT devices have become integral to modern operations, yet their security posture often remains inadequately monitored. Cato CTRL is revealing a new and innovative approach to IoT/OT threat detection by leveraging advanced behavioral analysis of IoT/OT devices to generate high-confidence Indicators of Compromise (IoCs).
