Having a list of software that is allowed to be installed on a host is a strategy to prevent and fix security gaps and maintain compliance with operational guidelines. This zero-trust methodology ensures that only explicitly permitted applications are allowed to be present on a host unlike package block-listing which enumerates an explicit list of software that is not allowed to be present. In fact, with a software allow-list, you are essentially block-listing everything except the software you allow.

Seeing your website flagged as deceptive by Google or other search engines is enough to spoil anyone's day. You've spent long hours creating a site, only for users to be informed that it is a cybersecurity risk. But what can you do? Should you scrap the whole thing and start again? Today we'll explore why your website has been flagged as deceptive. We'll also look at what you can do to overcome the issue.

In this live stream, CDW’s Brenden Morgenthaler and I discuss a foundational issue with many security programs — having the right data to detect issues and make fast decisions. Data drives every facet of security, so bad or incomplete data weakens your overall program. Watch the video or continue reading below to learn about these issues and the strategies we use to solve security’s data problem.

The shortcoming of traditional SIEM implementations can be traced back to big data analytics challenges. Fast analysis requires centralizing huge amounts of security event data in one place. As a result, many strained SIEM deployments can feel heavy, require hours of configuration, and return slow queries. Logz.io Cloud SIEM was designed as a scalable, low-maintenance, and reliable alternative. As a result, getting started isn’t particularly hard.
