Threat hunting is emerging as a must-have addition to cybersecurity strategies. By enabling organizations to find and mitigate threats before they ever touch their networks or systems, threat hunting provides the basis for a more proactive security posture – and one that delivers higher ROI on security tools and processes. How can businesses actually add threat hunting to their security arsenals? That’s where solutions like Sumo Logic's Cloud SIEM come in.

The Sumo Logic team is pleased to introduce the general availability of Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM powered by AWS. This joint solution will empower CIOs, CISOs, security and IT leaders to solve modern and legacy security operations use cases for Enterprises of all sizes and maturity with deep and contextualized insights to reduce the time to detect and respond to threats.

I’m pleased to announce that Sumo Logic has finalized its acquisition of DFLabs S.p.A., a provider of security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) software.

Anybody who’s looked for answers on the Internet has likely stumbled across a “TOP X LISTS”: The “10 things famous people do every day”, “Top 10 stocks to by”, the “20 books you have to read” are just some examples of the myriad of lists that are out there offering answers. You may have even stumbled upon a few “Top 10 (or 12) Events To Monitor” articles too.

Properly analyzing the massive amounts of data created by network access and the associated security tools has become a very tedious chore. Today’s cybersecurity professionals are seeking ways to better deal with the massive influx of information so that they can make intelligent choices when it comes to the cybersecurity posture of their networks. Selecting the proper tools is an important task which merits investigation.

We created our Logz.io Cloud SIEM with a clear goal: providing a rapidly deploying, flexible, and cost-effect security management tool that can serve broad datasets and withstand the occasional bursts of events without a sweat. However, our users were coming back to us with requests for more. After all, it’s great to proactively detect proliferating security threats, but what’s the next step beyond just identifying the threat?

Some great new research coming out of the survey data published by 451 Research on Enterprise spending for Information Security. There have been more advanced ways of trying to implement security controls and avoid security issues by integrating security into the development or continuous integration and release pipelines. Despite that, there is still strong interest in using log and event data to manage the security posture of an organization in a SIEM solution.

Security operations is now a critical business function tasked with securing digital transformation initiatives, to effectively mitigate evolving attacks and expanding attack surfaces, handle complexity and tool proliferation while teams are continuing to be virtual and distributed.
