Log4j is the latest example of a zero-day exploit to be discovered and put a big part of the industry into chaos. Given its wide adoption by developers, the impact of the log4j exploit is quite broad and will take a tremendous amount of time to resolve.

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.

Dependence on Log Data | An Increasing Vulnerability to Threat Actors

Blog, Log Data, Whitepaper, Zero Day Attacks / By Christian Wiens

How sure are you that log files represent the best source of information to base your entire Cybersecurity program upon? Log data is the cornerstone of every traditional cybersecurity platform including SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), UEBA (User and Entity Behavior Analytics), and xDR (Detection and Response).

10 Eye-Opening Data Breach Statistics (and How You Can Better Protect Your Network)

Blog, Data Breach, Data Privacy, Ransomware, Zero Day Attacks / By Christian Wiens

While we’re seeing more data breaches than in years past, being proactive can make an enormous difference. Head-in-sand is not the optimal position for any modern organization with a network-based infrastructure. Education about the nature of modern data breaches is a great place to start.

DarkReading: Superhero Loki Lurks Like a Zero-Day Threat

Blog, Cybersecurity News, MixMode News, Zero Day Attacks / By Matt Shea

Just like the SOC analyst, the TVA has to find these threats and remove them as quickly as possible. Let’s say you are tasked with being this TVA agent and are told you need to search all the timelines (an almost infinite number of them) and find all the Loki variants to have them removed.
