In today's digital era, the importance of securing databases cannot be overstated. As more and more global businesses and organizations rely on DBMS systems to store tons of sensitive information, the risk of targeted attacks and data breaches continues to increase. Therefore, the importance of monitoring and uncovering new actors along with their - often unique - attack techniques and methods is crucial.

Last month, Corelight had the distinct privilege of joining Cisco, NetWitness, Palo Alto Networks, Arista, and our internet service provider, MyRepublic, to provide availability and network security overwatch to the Black Hat Asia network in Singapore. This marked our first appearance in the Black Hat Network Operations Center (NOC).

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, malicious actors constantly adapt their strategies to infiltrate our systems. Traditional endpoint detection mechanisms are no longer sufficient to protect our applications and workloads against advanced threats. To effectively address this concern, it has become imperative to embrace a broader approach to threat detection. This entails a paradigm shift towards incorporating both agent-based and agentless detection methods.

Discover how Sysdig Secure’s new Process Tree feature improves threat investigation. Imagine you’re investigating a security related detection, the investigation was triggered by the execution of stat/etc/shadow in one of your containers. Is this a sign of a legitimate activity, such as a developer debugging an app, or a sign that your container has been compromised? It depends on the context.

Is your organization grappling with the relentless pace of ever-changing threats in the cloud? Are you spending hours investigating security events without identifying the root cause of the problem?

As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, you know there’s a growing need to ensure applications and software are protected from malicious actors. A holistic and intelligent approach to threat and vulnerability management is essential for ensuring security against modern cyber risk. By leveraging AI-powered tools, especially for tasks like remediating security flaws, you can manage and reduce risk quickly and effectively.
