Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a cybersecurity service offered by a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) that combines human security expertise with modern security tools to deliver managed threat detection, security monitoring, and incident response capabilities for both SMBs and enterprise clients. MDR services are especially valuable for organizations that need robust security monitoring and response capabilities, but may not have the resources or expertise to manage an in-house Security Operations Center (SOC).

Security logging is a critical part of modern cybersecurity, providing the foundation for detecting, analyzing, and responding to potential threats. As highlighted by OWASP, security logging and monitoring failures can lead to undetected security breaches. With the average cost of a data breach adding up to $4.45 million, most organizations can't afford to miss a security incident.

Content delivery networks (CDNs) such as Amazon CloudFront generate a flood of log files. In today's world where your customers are all around the globe, it's important to make sure that your websites' application assets are as close to the users as possible.

When it comes to managing AWS cloud security, a growing concern for security operations (SecOps teams) is the increasing sophistication of digital threats. While conventional cyber threats deploy widely known tools and techniques in crude, all-or-nothing attempts to breach enterprise security controls, sophisticated attacks known as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) employ more advanced technologies and methods to gain and maintain access to secure systems for long periods of time.

Cloud computing shapes the ability of enterprises to transform themselves and effectively compete. By renting elastic cloud resources, enterprises can support new customer platforms, distributed workforces, and back-office operations. The cross-functional discipline of CloudOps helps enterprises manage cloud resources by optimizing applications and infrastructure. But, none of this can be done without the right strategies and techniques to analyze your application telemetry data - primarily logs and events.

Amazon CloudWatch is a great tool for DevOps engineers, developers, SREs, and other IT personnel who require basic Amazon Web Services (AWS) log processing and analytics for cloud services and applications deployed on AWS. However, most developer teams will ultimately need more logging functionality than a basic AWS log analyzer like Amazon Cloudwatch can provide. For example: That's why, although CloudWatch may be one tool in your log analytics strategy, it probably should not be the only one.

Cyber threats against AI systems are on the rise, and today's AI developers need a robust approach to securing AI applications that address the unique vulnerabilities and attack patterns associated with AI systems and ML models deployed in production environments. In this blog, we're taking a closer look at two specific tools that AI developers can use to help detect cyber threats against AI systems.

Enterprise data and analytics is a fast-evolving field in enterprise IT, where new technologies and solutions are creating revolutionary ways to extract insights from data. To keep pace with these changes and drive value creation through data analytics initiatives, organizations must be willing to adopt innovative solutions, embrace new and emerging best practices, and move beyond obsolete or outdated methods that are no longer effective. Our blog post this week is all about transforming your enterprise data architecture to elevate your data management and analytics capabilities.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services play a critical role in cybersecurity. These technologies remotely monitor, detect, and respond to threats, blending threat intelligence with human expertise to hunt down and neutralize potential risks. However, one of the biggest challenges MDRs face is managing the sheer volume and variety of threat intelligence data they receive. This data comes from internal resources and the numerous security technologies their customers use, making it difficult to create a cohesive picture of the threat landscape.
