Investigative analysis of disjointed data in Elasticsearch with the Siren Platform

At Siren, we build a platform used for “investigative intelligence” in Law Enforcement, Intelligence, and Financial Fraud. Investigative intelligence is a specialisation of data analytics that serves the needs of those that are typically hunting for bad actors. Such investigations are the primary focus of law enforcement and intelligence, but are also critical to uncovering financial crime activities and for threat hunting in cybersecurity.

Introducing the InfluxDB Template UI: Monitoring Made Simple

At InfluxData, we’re obsessed with time to awesome — how quickly can you start working productively with time series data? What can we do to make things better? InfluxDB Templates are a great example of this mindset. Back in April, we announced Templates as a way to package up everything you need to monitor a particular technology — Telegraf configurations and InfluxDB Dashboards, Tasks, Alerts, and related artifacts — into a single configuration file.

MLTK Smart Workflows

I’m excited to announce the launch of a new series of apps on Splunkbase: MLTK Smart Workflows. These apps are domain-specific workflows, built around specific use cases, that can be used to help you develop a set of machine learning models with your data. In this blog post, I’d like to take you through the process we adopted for developing the workflows.

TL;DR InfluxDB Tech Tips - From Subqueries to Flux!

In this post we translate subqueries, using InfluxQL in InfluxDB version 1.x, into Flux, a data scripting and functional query language in InfluxDB version 1.8 and greater in either OSS or Cloud. The subqueries translated here come from this blog. This blog assumes that you have a basic understanding of Flux. If you’re entirely unfamiliar with Flux, I recommend that you check out the following documentation and blogs.

Webinar: Achieve comprehensive observability with Sensu and Elasticsearch

The Elasticsearch data platform is ideal for analyzing monitoring and observability data. But if your multi-cloud journey has led you to multiple monitoring and observability tools, you may face challenges getting all that data into Elasticsearch. In this webinar, Sensu Developer Advocate Todd Campbell shows you how to get the most out of your Elasticsearch investment — and achieve deeper visibility — with the Sensu observability pipeline.

Detecting DGA Activity in Network Data with Elastic ML - Oct 1, 2020 Elastic Stockholm Meetup

After infecting a target machine, many malicious programs need to communicate with a command & control server ( C & C) that is controlled by the malware author. In order to avoid detection and subvert defensive measures, malware authors employ domain generation algorithms (DGA), which enable the malware to generate hundreds or thousands of new domains, one of which is then registered by the malware author as the location of the C&C server.
