Beyond Traditional Defenses: Integrating IDS and NDR for Improved Detection Capabilities

AI-powered Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions have become a staple for identifying the subtle indicators of unknown threats, a crucial element in the constant battle against cyberattacks. While NDR excels in unveiling the shadows of the unfamiliar, it is the traditional signature-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) enabling security teams to maximize protection and facilitate targeted responses, particularly when confronting well-known malware.

4 Reasons Why Your Business Needs Network Detection and Response Solutions

Endpoint protection has long been fundamental to cybersecurity. But in today’s evolving and expanding digital landscape, with endpoints spanning a wide variety of devices, is traditional endpoint security enough? The ongoing frequency of successful cyberattacks suggests not. Cloud proliferation, remote work and expanding system access add to the challenge. Can you truly trust users to keep their devices secure amidst this shifting landscape?

Progress Flowmon Monitoring for Kubernetes Applications

From the perspective of network administrator and operator, the fundamental requirements for network applications are the same regardless of the environment they are running in. They need to have their network communication fast, reliable and secure. To meet these requirements, we need to have relevant data about the application traffic.

Streamline Incident Analysis in QRadar by Using the Progress Flowmon QRadar Application

Flowmon QRadar integration provides a single pane of glass to detect and respond to Flowmon ADS events directly in IBM QRadar. The integration packages were updated to support the latest version of Flowmon products and the IBM QRadar platform. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems are considered foundational elements in a company's security toolkit.

Detecting Cryptojacking with Progress Flowmon

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats, cryptojacking has emerged as a stealthy and financially motivated attack method. In attacks of this type, cybercriminals hijack servers (or endpoint devices) to use the computing resources to “mine” cryptocurrencies. They get a financial benefit from this activity when they sell the newly minted currencies.

Gartner Lays out Three Use Cases of Network Detection and Response (NDR) Adoption

The Gartner recent report, “Emerging Tech: Top Use Cases for Network Detection and Response”, lays out three primary use case drives, which include: Before we dive deeper into Gartner findings, let’s talk about NDR from a high level.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Digital Transformation

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, it's not enough for companies to merely adapt to change; they must lead the way in embracing transformative technologies because it’s the only way to grow and stay competitive. In this blog, we'll explore how the fusion of digital transformation and AI transformation is shaping business environments around us.

After a Ransomware Infection - Enhancing Security for Your Infrastructure Against Further Intrusion

In a previous blog, we outlined the essential steps that organizations should take within the first two days after the detection of a ransomware attack. In this follow-up post, we’ll discuss what an organization should do after the initial response to reduce the risks of future attacks. We’ll also highlight how Progress Flowmon can support ongoing network monitoring, early detection of attacks and reduction of further damage. Webinar: The First 48 Hours of Ransomware Incident Response.

The First 48 Hours of Ransomware Incident Response

The initial response to a ransomware attack is crucial for determining the damage in terms of downtime, costs, data loss and company reputation. The sooner you detect the activity associated with ransomware, the sooner you can slow its spread. From there, you can take remedial actions to significantly reduce the effects of the attack.

The Cybersecurity Threat Landscape in 2024

Over the last few years, the number and severity of cyberattacks against organizations have significantly increased. These attacks come in various forms, including ransomware, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), data breaches, insider threats and many more. Despite the best efforts of many cybersecurity professionals to minimize these threats, it appears there will be no decrease in the threat level in 2024.
