October is recognized every year as Cyber Security Awareness Month (CSAM). Starting in 2004, this important awareness month has been a collaboration between The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) to lead a collaborative effort between government and industry to raise cybersecurity awareness nationally and internationally.
In our newest case study, “How a Major U.S. City Rapidly Modernized Its Cybersecurity Defenses,” we share how the City cut its cyber tool footprint in half, gained visibility into advanced foreign adversary attacks, and greatly improved the productivity of its SOC staff.

In a world where bad actors are capable of building sophisticated AI capable of sidestepping traditional cybersecurity platforms, it has become critically important to onboard tools that work in real-time, are deadly accurate, and can predict an incident before it happens.
Are you curious what threats other CISOs are prioritizing right now? Do you know what the most in-demand security talent is right now? Hundreds of Cybersecurity professionals recently responded to MixMode’s nation-wide survey on InfoSec strategies for the end of 2022.
87 percent of organizations use network traffic analysis (NTA) tools for threat detection and response according to ESG, an IT strategy firm. In their 2020 study, 43 percent of organizations surveyed said NTA is a “first line of defense” for detecting and responding to threats.
It’s the open secret no one’s talking about — too many cybersecurity solutions in the marketplace stand no chance of providing comprehensive coverage because they are incapable of handling data arising from all sources. Many available solutions are effectively legacy platforms hiding within fresh marketing packages.
Let’s take a closer look at the false narrative being propagated in the cybersecurity market and explore some more appropriate alternatives. An example of a legacy cyber tool vendor “feature” being touted as an ideal solution to the problem of automatic remediation is reliant on a standard (though rarely used for reasons we will explore in this article) function known as TCP Reset.
Network detection and response, or NDR, has been established as a key tool for companies seeking to improve their threat response. It has become a network security strategy which developed in response to perceived shortcomings in existing network security systems.
The nation’s largest Financial Services providers are a favorite target for nation-state sponsored and coordinated cyber-attacks. Despite significantly more financial and resource investment in cybersecurity than any other industry, critical infrastructure breaches and novel attacks remain a daily occurrence.
Mature cyber security teams understand a harsh reality often ignored by legacy cyber tools vendors: correlation must not be confused with causation.
Cybersecurity tool vendors understand that historically, the determining factors for a successful Security Operations Center (SOC) have been dependent entirely on 2 operational factors rather than the underlying technology.
Zero-trust is at the heart of the MixMode solution through its use of Self-Learning, Unsupervised AI. The AI is driven by a zero-trust generative model that initially takes no historical knowledge to function and is unbiased from human alteration.
Geoffrey Coulehan, Head of Sales for MixMode, pens our latest whitepaper on the misleading “one-click remediation” claims that many cybersecurity tool vendors are using in the marketplace.
When hackers breach a network, focus naturally, and wisely, turns to the first point of intrusion. But a wider view, one that includes an understanding of what happened after the breach can empower your organization to predict — and most important, prevent — the next attack. MixMode is helping organizations across the country do just that, every day.
Of all the challenges facing the modern SOC, two stand out among the most persistent and difficult to overcome: an overwhelming volume of false positive alerts and an alarming escalation in zero-day and novel threats that are often imperceptible by legacy systems.
Well over half of global organizations — 66% — were hit with ransomware attacks in 2021, according to a new independent study. In a sign that we may be seeing a ramp up to even more widespread damage from these sneak attacks, it’s a 78% increase over the prior year.
MixMode, a leading provider of self-learning solutions to detect cyberattacks in real time, announces that Dan “Thor” Thormodsgaard has joined the company as a Strategic Advisor. Thor will apply his 25 years of experience in IT Consulting, of which 19 were in IT Security Consulting, to support MixMode in strategic planning and partnerships.
With the announcement of our Series B fundraising round, 2022 has catapulted us into a hyper-growth period for our company. With new team members joining rapidly and our product expanding exponentially, it was time that we hosted the first ever MixMode Summit!
The number of zero-day exploit discoveries hit record numbers in 2021, according to Google Project Zero. Instances of “in-the-wild 0-days” were up nearly double versus 2020, when only 25 0-day exploits were detected. In 2021, the total was 58.
