Ransomware payouts are trending back up. According to Chainalysis, a cryptocurrency tracing firm, 2021 was a record year for ransomware payments, totaling almost $1 billion. In 2022, there was a drop, but in 2023, ransomware payouts returned to that same torrid pace with an estimated $900 million in payments. This rise in ransomware activity can be attributed to the ramping up of ransomware group operations and a surge in extortion efforts. To avoid becoming a victim and defend against ransomware threats, you need a strong backup plan that takes into account the many ways that attackers can infiltrate your network.

The syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) appliance, built on syslog-ng Premium Edition (PE), offers a user-friendly graphical interface while retaining most of syslog-ng PE’s robust features. A key application of SSB and syslog-ng PE is enhancing the logging infrastructure for SIEM/log analysis. Notably, SSB has recently added support for log analytics destinations like Splunk HEC (HTTP Event Collector) and Microsoft Sentinel.
Data breaches have become increasingly common today. Notably, the most newsworthy breaches are often malicious, involving either ransomware gangs or disgruntled employees seeking revenge.
Recently, a new backdoor (CVE-2024-3094) was uncovered within the build system of the widely utilized xz-utils ‘liblzma’ data compression library. This backdoor is purportedly aimed at the OpenSSH server but has the capability to affect any application that interacts with ‘systemd’, utilizes ‘OpenSSL’, and is accessible over the network. The complete extent and consequences of the backdoor remain unclear pending a thorough analysis of the injected malicious binary code.
Operational Technology (OT) and manufacturing businesses are prime targets for cybercriminals. Why? Because OT security is lacking behind the IT sector, such as banking and retail.
Phishing remains and will remain one of the foremost methods used by cyber attackers today.
Business intelligence (BI) is all about making sense of huge amounts of data to extract meaningful and actionable insights out of it. Log management tools such as Graylog, instead, are the perfect solution to streamline data collection and analysis, so it’s easy to understand how these two technologies can make sense when they’re coupled together.
Data replication has moved from “nice to have” to “mainstream” for use cases such as High Availability and Disaster Recovery. At the same time, companies are discovering the need to replicate or move data for other reasons, including performance and translating transactional data into events.
Getting data into Splunk can be challenging, especially when dealing with syslog, one of the most crucial data sources. Syslog can present several hard-to-solve problems, such as high volume, non-compliant messages, and the use of the unreliable UDP network protocol. One Identity’s syslog-ng Premium Edition (PE) and syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) can help manage these challenges effectively.
