The cybersecurity of industrial systems is becoming a hot topic in today’s headlines. Since connectivity to external networks is being increased significantly, security is becoming the priority in industrial IT and Operational Technology (OT). Many organizations don’t have a reliable cyber defense against their OT assets.

Installation: At this stage, SOC analysts are advised to deploy a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Host-Based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) to detect attacks. To deny an attack, Cyber Kill Chain recommends using Two-Factor authentication, strong password, and privilege separation as well as disrupting attack using data execution prevention.

If you have been using a SIEM tool for quite a time, you will know that it can turn out to be a powerful security tool, if appropriately deployed. In your organization’s network, network devices such as IDS/IPS, firewalls, and routers generate a plethora of log data. Like these devices, there are many sources of data for a SIEM solution. The first barrier a SIEM encounters is normalizing the log data before it can detect and alert your team.

Dashboards are an integral component of any effective SIEM solution. After log data is aggregated from different sources, a SIEM solution prepares the data for analysis after normalization. The outcomes of this analysis are presented in the form of actionable insights through dashboards. Many SIEM solutions come with pre-configured dashboards to simplify the onboarding process for your team. Besides, an ideal solution should also allow an organization to customize dashboards as per its requirements.

In the last article, we discussed various types of reports a SIEM solution offers. We also threw light on how reports are arranged block-wise on Logsign SIEM along with other features. In this article, we explore how you can customize an existing report to suit your requirements. To start with, go to the Reports and Analysis section and select any report that you wish to customize.

A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution collects log data from numerous sources within your technical infrastructure. This acquisition and normalization of data at one single point facilitate centralized log management. It allows businesses to generate reports containing security information about their entire IT infrastructure. Reporting, out of many benefits of a SIEM solution, also helps businesses in fulfilling their documentation and compliance requirements.

The world is being digitalized more and more. The technological advancements both in terms of hardware and software are grabbing the attention of cyber criminals towards enterprises of each size (e.g., small, medium, and large). The attackers use a complete chain or number of stages to launch a cyber-attack. A Cyber Kill Chain defines all these potential stages and the SOC team can use them to identify, detect, prevent, and contain attack before it causes real damage to the organization.

Physical or cyber, security is one of the most essential concerns for chemical industry. In this article, we will take a closer look at the cybersecurity requirements. Keep reading to learn more! With the advancements in the technology and Internet of Things, most processes related to the production, shipment and storage of chemicals heavily rely on the automation and cyber solutions.

Data breaches and data loss have been the worst nightmares of the organizations. That is why being able to act proactively and ensure the security of your data has utmost importance. In this article, we will discuss which DLP method you should employ.
