Many modern enterprises—like the airlines, cruise ship, and retail industries—produce massive amounts of data on a daily basis. Given this threat landscape, it’s important for businesses to ingest all their security logs in near real-time, process it, and make it available for intelligent cyber threat analysis. Exabeam’s Data Lake is designed for exponential log data growth and the complexity of cybersecurity analysis.

There aren’t many fields where the majority say they’re happy with their profession. In fact, 70 percent of workers say they don’t feel satisfied with their career choices. By contrast, in the cybersecurity industry, the majority report high levels of job satisfaction, according to Exabeam’s 2018 Cybersecurity Salary and Job Report. However, a career in cybersecurity has its challenges.

That was then—next-gen SIEM is now. Modern SIEMs can now apply new solutions to your security domain that weren’t available with legacy SIEMs. But many SIEMs claim to be “next-generation,” and yet don’t have what’s needed to solve the problems most security teams face today. What features are needed to be a next-gen SIEM?

What happens when a major company is faced with a massive data breach? After the data breach has been discovered, investigators often find out that the hackers have been occupying their network for days, if not months, and sometimes years. This is known as dwell time. In a SANS survey, 20 percent reported dwell times of a month or longer.

A security incident is often a high-pressure situation. Having pre-planned incident response steps helps for an immediate and more organized response and can spare many unnecessary business impacts and associated reputational harm.

At Exabeam Spotlight 2018 whether speaking with a security leader, analyst, or insider threat program manager, the overarching theme is that change is a cybersecurity constant. And to be a cybersecurity expert in today’s environment requires leadership, agility, and knowledge.

Are IoT devices like security cameras, printers, and thermostats creating cybersecurity risks? If your organization is like most, many of these IoT systems aren’t even on your radar, often because there isn’t the necessary monitoring solution for such internet connected devices.

The cybersecurity challenge of securing IoT is complex and extensive due to the fact that IoT devices are deployed over a wide attack surface and contain numerous threat vectors such as authentication and authorization, software, device threats, network threats, and OS level vulnerabilities.

Stopping Malware from Compromised Insiders: Many of the most devastating data breaches are caused by attackers using stolen credentials to gain access to organizations’ network assets.

Exabeam Threat Intelligence Services (TIS) with SIEM: While SIEMs are central for SOC cybersecurity, SIEMs are often not enough. With the growing sophistication of organized, modern cyber attackers and their highly-targeted techniques, organizations can be left with serious vulnerabilities using SIEM alone.

Every cybersecurity leader senses the urgent need to prepare for a cyberattack. If you haven’t already, most likely you’ll want to deploy an effective incident response policy soon, before an attack results in a breach or other serious consequences. Creating an effective incident response policy helps ensure a timely, effective, and orderly response to a security event.
