Five Key Trends on SOC Modernization

For SOCs looking to improve their ability to detect and respond to threats efficiently and effectively, Extended Detection and Response (XDR) has generated increasing amounts of excitement and discourse in the industry. XDR was one of the hottest topics at RSA 2022, but like with many “hot new trends,” perspectives on what XDR actually is, […]

IBM to Acquire Randori, Transforming How Clients Manage Risk with Attack Surface Management

Organizations today are faced with defending a complex technology landscape — with cyberattacks targeted at constantly changing cloud, distributed, and on-premises environments. Often escaping security scans and periodic assessments, these changes represent windows of opportunities for attackers looking to bypass defenses. While there always have — and always will be — unknown risks, having a […]

Why EDR is not sufficient to protect your organization

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools are a cornerstone of most cybersecurity defenses today. But while the technology has an important role to play in investigating threats, too many organizations have made the mistake of relying on EDR as their… Continue reading Why EDR is not sufficient to protect your organization

Democratizing security with Open XDR

There is no denying the notion of strength in unity. Similarly, inclusiveness and the broad participation of many is another idea that is widely cherished. These are both principles that are essential for achieving success in security in these challeng… Continue reading Democratizing security with Open XDR

Overcoming key business and operational challenges with XDR

Improving detection of advanced cyberthreats is a high priority in any security operation. However, a lack of visibility in an ever-expanding attack surface coupled with too many siloed security tools can overwhelm security teams with alerts and false positives. In addition, investigating broader malicious operations requires a complex workflow and staffing with domain expertise, a new report says. According to security experts at Cybereason, extended detection and response (XDR) provides security analysts with better visibility into the attack surface and the ability to act quickly across multiple security layers. They recently released a guide to help practitioners better understand AI-driven XDR platforms and those capabilities that help organizations to predict, understand and defend against attacks. The guide outlines in detail how to: Reduce false positives Improve threat hunting and intelligence management Boost productivity from unified investigations Increase automated response capabilities Read more in the Definitive Guide to Achieving 10X the Security […]
