Some security experts have prophesied the demise of traditional Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS) for almost 20 years, but this cornerstone of network security continues to soldier on. While next-generation firewalls have added IDPS functionality, they are driven more by policies than true threat...
In 2018, the Cybereason Research team identified a series of attacks targeting telecommunications companies. These attacks shared the same TTPs and consisted of a webshell execution followed by the deployment of Poison Ivy, a well-known RAT attributed to Chinese APT groups.
Security operations (SecOps) and network teams (NetOps) have traditionally acted separately, but increasing IT complexity and scale means that aligning these two groups is a critical step towards delivering a fast and secure user experience.
A recent global SANS Institute survey found that only 30 percent of SecOps...

Even after implementing SOAR, SIEM, IDPS and other technologies to improve security insights, companies still spend thousands of hours triaging alerts that are mostly false positives. Given the ever-increasing volume of alerts, SOC teams are forced into a "do what you can do" strategy that focuses on high-value, high...
Popular business applications are increasingly delivered through the cloud using a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, and cybersecurity applications are no exception. This is good news for small to midsize enterprises (SMEs) that don't have the budgets for in-house security technologies like a SIEM, and lack security...
Many of today's companies are hesitant to adopt new security technologies - particularly AI. The truth is AI is successfully disrupting many areas of security operations and shifting us away from the traditional SOC and man-led threat intelligence.
In this webinar, Chris Calvert will introduce the concept of...

When you have limited resources and a large attack surface to protect, smart prioritization is crucial. Frameworks like the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Top 20 Critical Security Controls are designed to help you make those difficult decisions, but a framework is only useful if you've got the resources to follow...
Encryption is skyrocketing both inside corporate networks and on the public internet - and studies show that more and more attackers are using this trend to hide their activities from your SOC:
70% of malware binaries sampled in the 2018 Annual Cybersecurity Report from Cisco took advantage of encrypted network...
You've heard the AI evangelists, but how can you ensure the AI solution you invest in is an intelligent, cognitive solution that can make your job easier?
The no-hype answer centers around making sure it can learn and can be proactive. It should automate your repeatable tasks to mitigate fatigue and solve what...

The 2018 Annual Threat Report provides...
If you're dealing with the high cost and complexities of delivering reliable wide area connectivity over traditional carrier-based networks, you're probably considering some form of software-defined wide area networking
(SD-WAN).
With the variety of constraints that Network Security teams are faced with, selecting...
Will the newly introduced Data Care Act prove to be a viable U.S. equivalent to the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, or is it destined to fail? An analysis leads this edition of the ISMG Security Report, which also features reports on robotic process automation and Mastercard's "fusion center."
