Phishing is the fraudulent practice of manipulating people via emails, texts, websites or phone calls into disclosing sensitive information, like credit card numbers or login credentials, that can then be used to access and attack systems. Cybercriminals do this by tricking users into taking specific actions that cause them to inadvertently download malware.

Companies, like most things, rarely grow in a straight line. Plants will take root where they can, and send shoots where they can to get the most sunlight, even if there are obstacles in the way. But vines and branches aren’t known for their efficient pathing, which can make a tangled mess of the whole plant. So get a good sun hat and some pruning shears ready; you’ll need them today! The difference between organic and structured growth is one of purpose and planning.

In my work as a technical evangelist at Cribl, I regularly talk to companies seeing annual data growth of 45%, which is unsustainable given current data practices. How do you cost effectively manage this flood of data while generating business value from critical data assets?

Companies are increasingly adopting managed Kubernetes services, such as Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), to build container-based applications. Leveraging a managed Kubernetes service is a quick and easy way to deploy an enterprise-grade Kubernetes cluster, offload mundane operations such as provisioning new nodes, upgrading the OS/Kubernetes, and scaling resources according to business needs.

We often think of DDoS attacks as volumetric malicious traffic targeted against organizations that effectively take a service offline. Most frequently detected by anomalous behavior found in NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, and BGP data, what may not be well understood is how the DDoS mitigation works and how it’s possible to visualize the effectiveness of the mitigation during and after an attack.

For server administrators tasked with ensuring the reliable operation of their web applications, the thought of a lurking cyberattack can be one to lose sleep over. An attack on your system and the services you provide could render your web applications unresponsive. What’s worse, important information that depends on privacy and the careful storing of data is put at risk.

Today, Cribl is releasing The State of Security Data Management 2022 in collaboration with CITE Research. The report examines the challenges that enterprises are facing as they work to balance evolving business priorities with cyber threats. The report was conducted in September 2022 and surveyed 1,000 senior-level IT and security decision-makers. The survey found that, although most organizations are confident in their data management strategy, few believe it’s actually sustainable.
