Our 2018 Update to “How to Plan, Design, Operate and Evolve a SOC” Publishes

As Augusto already announced awhile ago, we have updated our “how to SOC” paper for 2018. His post even includes our main guidance visual (!), made that much more awesome by our new co-author, Anna. The paper is still titled “How to P… Continue reading Our 2018 Update to “How to Plan, Design, Operate and Evolve a SOC” Publishes

Object Detection, With TensorFlow

Getting computers to recognize objects has been a historically difficult problem in computer science, but with the rise of machine learning it is becoming easier to solve. One of the tools that can be put to work in object recognition is an open source library called TensorFlow, which [Evan] aka [Edje Electronics] has put to work for exactly this purpose.

His object recognition software runs on a Raspberry Pi equipped with a webcam, and also makes use of Open CV. [Evan] notes that this opens up a lot of creative low-cost detection applications for the Pi, such as setting up …read more

Watch the (Privileged) Watcher

How do you help your SOC deal with internal attacks? Leveraging a big data-driven, user and entity behavior analytics solution (UEBA), security analysts can reduce mean-time-to-detection (MTTD) and extend its detection outreach to identify even the ste… Continue reading Watch the (Privileged) Watcher

I see this happening allot: developers need to test stuff, have a self-signed certificate that causes an error, and they just switch verification off globally (like in this example). The hack gets forgotten and then the code … Continue reading Is there an easy way to detect clients that ignore certificate validation errors (in production)?
