Companies are expected to spend up to $55 billion dollars on efforts to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which is still working out its final rules after going into effect this month.
At MixMode, we can’t help but imagine the flip side of all that potential. An increasingly connected cyber landscape means an increased number of potential targets for bad actors. New tech is exciting, but it’s often inherently vulnerable to cyberattacks.
Today’s security and IT teams are increasingly relying on wire data to better secure their networks. A recent report conducted by network performance and security monitoring vendor VIAVI revealed that more network teams than ever consider wire data the most important data source when confronting security incidents.
While it’s true that having a SIEM is better than forgoing network monitoring all together, a standalone SIEM solution is simply insufficient in today’s cybersecurity landscape. Hackers and other bad actors have become more sophisticated — many of today’s cybercriminals can easily outsmart a standard SIEM setup.
Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have led to smarter, more robust network security platforms that are quickly replacing legacy security solutions.
The reality is that most companies and entities are entrusted with sensitive data. As regulations tighten and consumer expectations rise, it is more important than ever to protect data, whenever it is gathered, accessed, shared, or stored. Let’s take a look at a few of the newsworthy data breaches that happened in 2019. Often, studying these cases can inform SecOps teams about what not to do.
This year on the MixMode blog, we have covered headline stories, analyzed every pain point within network security, and shared what we believe to be some of the most innovative solutions to help you analyze network traffic, surface threats and anomalies, and stop attacks using autonomous AI.
In this environment, it’s no surprise that U.S. CEOs rated cybersecurity as their top external concern in a survey conducted by the Conference Board. Those worries are unlikely to fade anytime soon, but 2020 also brings fresh opportunities for proactive measures to secure sensitive information. Here’s what you need to know about the trends that are currently emerging in cybersecurity and how you can make a difference in the future of the field:
The new MixMode & RAVENii whitepaper, “The Evolution of ‘Next-Generation’ Manufacturing and the Need for Network Security,” is a comprehensive look at how third-wave AI is improving modern network security across connected manufacturing networks and beyond.
Consider investing in emerging tech tools that can add a deeper layer of data privacy protection. Artificial intelligence technology, in particular, holds a great deal of promise when it comes to complying with the CCPA and improving the way companies handle data in general.
The cybersecurity provider landscape is cluttered with impossible claims, misrepresentations, and a confusing mix of inconsistent terminology. Worse, every minute you delay making a decision is another minute hackers have to gain access and knowledge about your network.
Knowing the difference between Discriminative and Generative Unsupervised Learning can tell you a lot about the effectiveness of a cybersecurity solution’s artificial intelligence, for example, whether or not that security solution can perform actions like identifying and stopping a zero-day attack.
This is the final article in a three-part series on Network Baselining. Read the first two articles in the series here:
1) An Introduction to Baselining Technology
2) How to Create a Baseline for Your Network
We separate the parts that are wavelike and we separate the parts that are stochastic. Then, five minutes later we look again and compare what we’ve seen historically and what the AI has predicted to happen to the current state of the network. If they are different, that’s an anomaly detected.
In October, 2019 a MixMode customer experienced an incident where an external entity attacked a web server located in their DMZ, compromised it, and then pivoted internally through the DMZ to attempt access of a customer database. While the attacker was successful in penetrating the customer’s network, MixMode was able to detect the event before they were successful in penetrating the customer database.
This is the first installment of the three part blog series on creating baselines of network behavior to improve your security stance. Here we will walk you through the basics of baselining technology.
Today we announced a small but exciting update to MixMode’s Network Traffic Analysis platform! We have made performance and usability updates to the indicators page below: The Indicators page has been completely re-architected for a tremendous improvement in speed and performance. I urge you to go and try it for yourself right now – you …
The best way to detect threats across an entire network in the quickest manner is to have complete visibility over every part of that network with a multi-stream platform which can incorporate not only network data, but Cloud Data and SIEM logs as well.
Alert fatigue is a top pain point in cybersecurity right now. Security operations center (SOC) analysts are chasing an overwhelming amount of false positive alerts taking time away from analyzing and remediating actual security threats. According to a recent study…
The most popular form of in house deployment of MixMode is to deploy our OVA virtual appliance on an existing internal VMware ESXi infrastructure.
