Ransomware attacks often target victims with high-value, unstructured data. In this case it was the PGA Championship and Ryder Cup files consisting of marketing materials such as PGA banners, logos, and signage, which are the type of files that organizations frequently don’t back up properly.
Cybercrimes are continually evolving. Stay ahead with Exabeam’s news, insights, innovations, and best practices covering information security and cyber threat detection and response for the security professional.
We cover the latest in cyber security, data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), and next-gen SIEM. Make the Exabeam website and blog a regular source for your information security knowledge.
Until recently, most security operations centers (SOC) were dependent on their analysts’ skill level and relied on manual steps to detect the cyber threats to their organization. This typically required examining known indicators of compromise (IOC)—one painful threat at a time. When a suspicious behavior was discovered, analysts relied on advanced skills such as sophisticated querying to find the threat, then had to stitch together all the relevant events to understand the context and patterns in order to build a timeline of what occurred.
Quickly get up to speed on the emerging field of User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) and how information security organizations are utilizing it: Security teams are increasingly shifting towards tying technologies like UEBA to their conventional SIEMs and other legacy prevention systems.
Modern SIEMs provide out of the box correlation rules and sophisticated models to surface a broad range of abnormal behavior and events. Understand how to customize these resources, while adding your own rules and models for your organization’s unique cybersecurity requirements.
A cybersecurity incident response plan checklist will help your organization respond to security incidents quickly and efficiently. In the event of a security incident, having a comprehensive incidence response plan in place will help to minimize damage to your organization, and mitigate impacts of cyber threats.
Security log management solutions can evaluate the many cybersecurity vendors that process log data. However, a security data lake built on top of an elastic stack (ELK) lowers the total cost of ownership and provides analysts with greater visibility and search capabilities to better detect cyber threats.
Exabeam provides security intelligence and management solutions to help organizations of any size protect their most valuable information.
