Not investing in Security Incident and Event Management solutions means you’re missing out on significant business benefits. SIEM detects and responds to security incidents in real time, which reduces the risk of noncompliance. It also helps realize greater value across all underlying security technology and systems. Reporting with SIEM is more comprehensive and less time-intensive, helping to reduce capital and operational costs through consolidation.

Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication model designed to let users access different applications, services, and resources using a single set of credentials. Instead of having multiple user accounts for different applications, users are assigned a single centralized account that is used to authenticate with each application. This makes it more convenient for users to authenticate, while also making it easier for IT administrators to manage multiple accounts.

Even though the public cloud has become a commonplace concept in today’s tech world, many companies in a variety of industries remain slow to leverage its advantages. One commonly cited reason for this is that even for experienced IT experts, the transition to and adoption of cloud technologies can be daunting.

The principles of data protection are the same whether your data sits in a traditional on-prem data center or in a cloud environment. The way you apply those principles, however, are quite different when it comes to cloud security vs. traditional security. Moving data to the cloud introduces new attack-surfaces, threats, and challenges, so you need to approach security in a new way.

In April of 2018, security researcher Kevin Beaumont discovered an interesting case of web defacement on the NHS Insights website. He’d expected to find data related to patient surveys about their experiences with the National Health Service. Instead, he found a very different kind of message. A review of the page’s cache suggested that this eerie music and imposing image had been in place for at least the previous five days.

This is a guest post written by Appranix. Now that Red Hat OpenShift 4 has officially been released, it’s time to start thinking about migration from Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3 to OpenShift Container Platform 4. You can check out the details about the differences between OpenShift 3 and 4 here. One of the biggest differences between OpenShift 3 and 4 is how OpenShift 4 clusters operate using immutable and automated infrastructure enabled by RHEL CoreOS and automation.

So far in this blog series, we’ve seen how Log360 is simple to get up and running, allows you to receive a central view of multiple environments, provides deep auditing capabilities across these environments, and comes with advanced security features to deal with all manner of security incidents. In the concluding post of this blog series, we’ll look at another highly essential component of SIEM solutions: integrated compliance management.

The recently discovered BlueKeep RDP vulnerability reminds us yet again (as if needed to be reminded) that monitoring RDP is not a luxury but an absolute necessity. Many organizations still expose RDP ports to the Internet, making it a prime target for attacks. But even when RDP is only available internally it can still pose a threat – especially for large networks.
