Threat hunting is proactively identifying and thwarting unusual network activity that could indicate an attempted security breach. It’s a historically manual activity, making it time-intensive and arduous. It’s no wonder, then, why most organizations don’t have the time, budget, or resources to undertake it effectively…if at all. That’s why many organizations rely on “reactive” threat response solutions, including firewalls, intrusion detection, and SIEM to alert analysts to an event after it occurs. Without the resources to commit to proactive threat hunting, reactive solutions are the next best option.

Getting data to Splunk can be challenging. Syslog is still the most important data source, and it can provide you with hard-to-solve problems (for example, like high volume, non-compliant messages, unreliable network protocol (UDP), and more). The syslog-ng Premium Edition (PE) and syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) by One Identity can make these challenges manageable.

What is Needed to Move Large Files?

Big files need big solutions, or rather solutions capable of reliably and securely moving files in and out of an organization. Instead of relying on free or open-sourced solutions that “might” move a big file, consider your organization’s needs around file sizes, security, encryption, compliance requirements for auditing and reporting file transfer activity, reliability, and automation. Yes, file size does matter, but it’s just one piece of the data movement puzzle for most organizations.

Helsinki, Finland – September 7, 2023 – SSH Communications Security extends SSH Zero Trust Suite to a modern, real-time, secure, and audited (who did what when?) human-to-human communications platform. It consists of multiple modules helping people to share private and sensitive data in semi-interactive (email) mode and in real-time (calls, video calls, and instant messaging) and on-demand (sharing data) inside and across organizational and country borders.  

Data is one of the most valuable assets that an organization owns. In today’s world, data increasing value comes the need for greater responsibility for data privacy and security. Data breaches, legal and financial penalties, and reputational damage are disastrous consequences for improper handling of sensitive data. Meanwhile government agencies and industry segments are stipulating the proper handling of data such as Singapore PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act 2012) and Banking Act.

Back in the early days of corporate networking, IT departments typically deployed firewalls to keep employees from accessing non-work related content, like social media sites. While content filtering remains part of a firewall’s job, it’s no longer the primary reason for using one. In today’s connected world, firewalls are fundamental to network security. Further, today’s firewall solutions have evolved to respond to companies’ changing needs, enabling organizations to micro-segment networks and protect web-applications.

This is the eleventh part of my syslog-ng tutorial. Last time, we learned about message parsing using syslog-ng. Today, we learn about enriching log messages.

Cloud migration challenges — capacity, throughput, performance and above all security — confront everyone in organizations from leaders and managers to users.

You did it. Many months ago, you sent your employees home armed with their laptops, a few passwords, and a couple of Zoom invites. Now, hunkered down in their stretchy, comfy clothes, thankful for not having to commute, they’re carrying on the day-to-day business responsibilities for your organization.

Helsinki, Finland – June 15, 2023 – SSH Communications Security launches SSH Zero Trust Suite, combining SSH’s proven-in-use communications security products into a modern passwordless, keyless, and borderless ecosystem solution and further fortifying solution with quantum-safe capabilities. Borderless means that today cybersecurity threat is equal in internet, extranet, and intranet environments.
