The Aggregation Model is Falling Short
The following is an excerpt from our recent whitepaper, “Why Traditional Cybersecurity Tools Cannot Defend Against Zero-Day and No Signature Attacks,” in which we dive into how traditional cybersecurity tools work, why this fundamentally limits them from being able to detect zero-day or previously unknown attacks, why the industry standard for breach detection is around […]

Log Data is Not Effective as a Foundation for Prevention, Detection, Remediation or Analytics
In the imperfect, real world, where SOC teams actually live, the SIEM log-based approach is fundamentally flawed. In fact, it tends to add more challenge to the workday for SOC teams, not less.

Incremental Stacking of Correlative Analysis Platforms Will Ultimately Prove Ineffective and Costly
On the surface, an “incremental stacking” approach to correlative analysis platforms like SIEM, XDR and UEBA is logical. Organizations can overcome some of the inherent limitations present in their security solutions by adding a network traffic analysis (NTA), for example. Industry analysts have been touting this approach for some time now as necessary for full coverage enterprise security.

A Modern SOC Should Not Be Entirely Dependent On Human Operators and Their Personal Experience
A modern SOC should not be entirely dependent on human operators and their personal experience. The issue has been a foundational problem with not only the methodologies used by SOCs for the past 15 to 20 years, but it should be questioned whether the problem is actually compounded by the technology itself.

How Self-Supervised AI Tackles Ambiguity in Network Security
Cybersecurity vendors promise the moon when it comes to AI. As the recent TechRepublic article, “Why cybersecurity tools fail when it comes to ambiguity,” makes clear, often, these promises fail short in real world network environments.
