The decision to buy a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) product or outsource to a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service depends on a number of factors, including the size of your organization, the complexity of your IT infrastructure, and your overall security needs.
When strategizing a security approach for the coming year, many solutions will cross a CISO’s desk, all useful in covering some part of the network. Organizations must scrutinize every layer and each solution to make sure their security stack runs efficiently while still boasting a Defense-in-Depth approach. There cannot be an overload of alerts, the learning curve must be worth the cost, and all solutions must integrate with each other.
An Operating System (OS) is the software that acts as a bridge between the computer hardware and the applications being run on the computer. It is responsible for managing and controlling the computer’s resources such as memory, processors, and input/output devices. The OS provides a user-friendly interface for users to interact with the computer, making it easier for users to perform tasks like file management, launching applications, and configuring system settings.
As governments and organizations standardize and harmonize their responses to better mitigate the increasing number of cyber-attacks, so do cybercriminals. In Europe, security decision-makers and businesses face similar attack techniques as their global counterparts. While the methodologies employed are identical because they all rely on the same digital technologies exploiting similar vulnerabilities, the motivations vary.

Starting with January 2023, Netskope Threat Labs will publish a monthly summary blog post of the top threats we are tracking on the Netskope Security Cloud platform. The purpose of this post is to provide strategic, actionable intelligence on active threats against enterprise users worldwide.
Many security professionals feel like broken records at this point when we say, “the threat landscape is constantly evolving”, and especially when we talk about how security operations centers (SOCs) are always trying to do more with less. But over the last couple of years, what we think of as standard security issues have evolved into several new, daunting challenges.
