Using Analytics to Proactively Deter Insider Threats

The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.
If your organization entrusts employees, partners, or contractors with access to sensitive data and resources, then you face the risk of insider threats. They occur much more frequently today – and on a grander scale than ever before. But most organizations are failing to head off threats because they are handling them in an ad-hoc, reactive manner. As explored in this paper, companies need a combination of best-of-breed data integration and a hybrid analytical approach to uncover hidden, suspicious behaviors and activities and see the bigger picture. It’s the key to circumventing a potential terrorist plot, thwarting an espionage mission, reducing fraud transactions, and addressing insider threats.

Internet of Things (IoT) Security in Smart Home Devices

The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to devices that can send or receive data automatically, without being prompted by human interaction. Examples are cars that notify drivers of low tire pressure, a security system notifying the home owner, or smart thermostats maintaining optimum home temperature based on outside weather.

These devices have very low security protocols. While attackers or hackers have not found a way to profit from taking control of devices yet, it is only a matter of time. The most common access points are through the cloud or the home Wi-Fi Ethernet network. Device owners can protect themselves by:

  • Ensuring strong security protocols and encryption on the home network
  • Changing default passwords
  • Disabling unneeded features or features not in use
  • Avoid secondhand (and therefore potentially compromised) devices
  • Install updates as they become available.

The Lack of Real-Time Visibility Into Mainframe Events and Security

The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.

You must know everything that happens—what’s coming in from outside and what’s happening from within—at all times. But there is a lack of real-time visibility to what is happening on today’s mainframes. Because most of the IT world still holds the notion that mainframes are rubber stamped as secure, it’s uncommon for an organization to monitor its mainframes with the same vigilance as the rest of the infrastructure, not to mention that most mainframe events are also monitored separately from the open system technology.

In this paper, we will discuss the role that real-time monitoring can play in an effective plan to secure your entire IT infrastructure, why having a reactive versus proactive event monitoring plan can make or break your potential for creating a truly secure mainframe, and what you can do to better protect your mainframes at all times.

Threat Lifecycle Framework | Prevent Major Data Breaches by Reducing Time to Detect and Respond to Threats

The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.
A new approach is required. Traditionally, prevention-centric strategies have been employed to block attacks. However, many of today’s advanced, motivated threat actors are circumventing these defenses.

This paper introduces the concept of Threat Lifecycle Management (TLM)—a fundamental end-to-end detection and response workflow for Security Operations Centers (SOCs).

TLM is a series of aligned SecOps capabilities and processes that begins with the ability to see broadly and deeply across your entire IT environment and ends with the ability to quickly mitigate and recover from a security incident.

In this paper, you’ll learn a new approach to defending against cyber threats, including:
  • The five phases of the cyber-attack lifecycle
  • How to prevent high-impact cyber incidents through optimized threat lifecycle management
  • The phases of threat lifecycle management
  • 10 ways LogRhythm expedites the delivery of threat lifecycle management
