One of the key predictions is that by 2027, 50% of chief information security officers (CISOs) will adopt human-centric design practices in their cybersecurity programs to minimize operational friction and maximize control adoption. This approach focuses on designing security controls around individuals rather than technology or threats. It recognizes that employees play a crucial role in cybersecurity and aims to reduce the likelihood of risky behavior.

eBook: The Inefficiencies of Legacy Tools – Why SIEMs Alone Are Ineffective At Detecting Advanced Attacks

Alert Reduction, Blog, Data Overload, eBook, False Positives, SIEM / By Joe Ariganello

Relying solely on legacy Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) technology is no longer sufficient to protect enterprise organizations from the rising amount of modern, ai-developed, sophisticated cyberattacks. In our newest eBook, we examine the limitations of SIEMs and emphasize the need for an AI-driven dynamic threat detection and response platform.

In the report, 451 Research explains why security analytics needs to include advanced Third-Wave AI, which autonomously learns normal behavior and adapts to constantly changing network environments, to address the next generation of cyberthreats and increase SOC productivity.

Can Your Cyber Tools Monitor Any Stream of Data?

AI, Blog, Data Overload, Self-Supervised AI, SIEM, Third-Wave AI / By Christian Wiens

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.

Updated for 2022: What is Network Detection and Response (NDR)? A Beginner’s Guide

Blog, Network Detection and Response, NTA, SIEM, XDR / By Christian Wiens

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.

Video: Why a U.S. City Chose MixMode and Decommissioned their UBA Platform

Blog, Case Study, CISO, SIEM, SOC / By Christian Wiens

MixMode’s Head of Sales and Alliances, Geoff Coulehan, shares how MixMode was able to identify critical risk factors coming from inside bad actors that had gone undetected by a large U.S. city’s SIEM and UBA platforms despite their multi-year deployments and their decision to decommission their User Behavior Analytics (UBA) platform.

Cybersecurity Acronyms: Making Sense of the Alphabet Soup

Blog, Cybersecurity News, Extended Detection and Response, Insider Risk Management Systems, IRMS, Network Traffic Analysis, NTA, SIEM, XDR / By Christian Wiens

Trying to decipher Cybersecurity jargon can feel like trying to make sense out of a spoonful of alphabet soup. Is your SIEM equipped with sufficient NTA? What about your XDR? Or wait, was it NDR? What’s IRM, anyway? And whatever happened to UEBA?

Dependence on Log Data | Twenty-first Century Networks Require Twenty-first Century Security Solutions

Blog, Cyber Threats, Log Data, Network Security, SIEM / By Christian Wiens

When Cybersecurity teams assume that log-based platforms are the best available network security solutions, they have made a decision to invest in “bad gas.” These products will cost more and deliver less than systems enhanced by context-aware AI.

Dependence on Log Data | The Limitations, Hidden Costs, and Additive Nature of SIEM

Blog, Data Breach, Log Data, SIEM, Zero Day Attacks / By Christian Wiens

ou may be surprised to learn that log data is proprietary to each security platform vendor. There is no standard format or even a standard labeling mechanism. Your data only has context within the parameters of your SIEM vendor.

What is SIEM and How Has It Evolved?

Blog, SIEM / By Christian Wiens

Security information and event management (SIEM) is a security management approach that combines two core functions: SIM (security information management) and SEM (security event management).

Gaps in the Next-Generation SOC

SIEM, SOC, Uncategorized, Whitepaper / By Christian Wiens

As SIEM evolved, vendors began bolting on NDR (network detection and response) and NTA (network traffic analysis) to their base SIEM offerings. The hope (and promise) was that these tools would add the real-time security solution that was lacking with SIEM technology.

Modern Security Issues Require Modern Solutions

Blog, Network Security, SIEM, SOAR, SOC, Third-Wave AI, Whitepaper / By Christian Wiens

A jumble of ineffective, incomplete, extremely expensive platforms that don’t meet the fundamental challenges faced by enterprise SOC teams in the early 2020s is not sustainable.

It’s evident that while organizations are spending more and more on legacy cybersecurity solutions, these platforms are not holding up their end of the deal and are not able to proactively defend in a modern, non-signature attack threatscape.

Third-wave AI has Proven More Effective than Traditional Cybersecurity Platforms and Methodologies

Blog, Network Security, Self-Supervised AI, SIEM, SOC, Third-Wave AI / By Geoffrey Coulehan

Unfortunately, the majority of cybersecurity solutions available today rely on outdated applications for AI. So-called first- and second-wave AI solutions don’t cut it, but few vendors have the technical capabilities and know-how to apply cutting edge, third-wave AI to their platforms.

SIEM Cannot Detect (and Ignores) Zero-Day Attacks

Adversarial AI, Blog, Data Breach, Network Detection and Response, Network Security, Ransomware, SIEM, Threat Detection, Unsupervised AI, Zero Day Attacks / By Christian Wiens

Organizations are exclusively depending on selective information forwarded to the SIEM. The information that inevitably exists outside the system of record — information relevant for zero-day attacks — is ignored.

Cybersecurity Spend for Data Retention and Analysis is Out of Control and Largely Unnecessary

Blog, Data Storage Cost, Log Data, SIEM / By Geoffrey Coulehan

Managing a relatively small, stable data store is one thing, but dynamic companies face immense challenges when those circumstances change. Data growth can become unwieldy to safeguard when it has to be carefully prepared through a series of time-consuming, manual processes before the security software can evaluate it.

The Aggregation Model is Falling Short
