Security and IT teams may be loathe to admit it, but security has historically been mostly a reactive affair. Security engineers monitored for threats and responded when they detected one. They may have also taken steps to harden their systems against breaches, but they didn’t proactively fight the threats themselves. That is changing as more and more teams add threat hunting as one pillar of their cybersecurity strategies.

SREs, developers and DevOps staff for mission-critical modern apps know being notified in real-time when or before critical conditions occur can make a massive difference in end-user digital experiences and in meeting a 99.99% availability objective.

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.

Companies generate data at an exponential rate, and the task of analyzing data to produce relevant security insights can be overwhelming. With evolving market dynamics and threat landscapes, security teams have a greater need for integrated and scalable monitoring that provides real-time and meaningful insights into the state of organizational security posture.

Organizations that want to do business with the Department of Defense are required to achieve CMMC compliance by the end of this year. Sumo Logic can serve as a tool to assist your organization in achieving CMMC compliance.

In the beginning, there was the Log – or to be a bit more precise, there were application logs. At least that's how it was in the early days of application development, when raw log data itself was more often than not the point where troubleshooting began. Now, of course, the starting point for troubleshooting with cloud-based applications is much more likely to be an automatically-generated alert, or an indication on a monitoring dashboard that something isn't quite right.

Over the past decade, the way we build and deploy applications has changed dramatically. The explosion of public cloud providers enables us to deploy software without engaging in a drawn-out process to procure and set up infrastructure. Agile, DevOps, Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, and other changes to how we work have dramatically accelerated the speed with which we can get new applications and updates in front of our users.
