What is User Entity and Behavioral Analytics (UEBA)?User Entity and Behavioral Analytics In 2015, Gartner defined the User Entity and Behavioral Analytics (UEBA) category of security technologies. UEBA has gone on to become a critical element of the modern security tech stack, providing organizations with the ability to detect unknown threats and insider attacks. Before UEBA, security teams used User Behavior Analytics […]

What is Trojan Horse Malware?Trojans are a specific type of malware that infects the target device by disguising itself as a legitimate application. Like the mythical Trojan Horse described in Homer’s Odyssey, it infiltrates the system by pretending to be something it is not. In the original story, the Greeks hid inside a giant wooden horse after failing to […]

What is SQL Injection?SQL injection is a cyberattack that exploits vulnerabilities in SQL databases. Hackers use SQL injection to expose and modify sensitive data without authorization. In some cases, attackers can use this tactic to steal login credentials and gain general access to protected systems. As one of the most popular programming languages in the world, SQL is […]

What is Spyware? Spyware is a type of malware designed to gather data on users, devices, and networks. It then sends this data to a third party without the victim’s knowledge or consent. There are many different types of spyware. Some collect relatively low-value data to send to advertisers and data brokers. Others focus on highly sensitive information […]

What is SIEM?Security information and event management (SIEM) is a technological approach to monitoring and analyzing security event data. SIEM platforms enable continuous, real-time monitoring of security events while tracking and logging security data in a centralized location. Modern SIEM platforms form the foundation of successful Security Operations Centers (SOCs). The ability to gather security event logs […]

What is Ransomware? What is ransomware? Ransomware is a type of malware designed to give cybercriminals leverage over victims by holding their data hostage. Most forms of ransomware do this by encrypting sensitive or mission-critical data. This renders the data unusable until the victim obtains a decryptor tool from the cybercriminal group responsible. In a typical ransomware attack […]

What is Network Detection and Response?Discover how security teams leverage network traffic data to identify threats that other tools can’t see Network detection and response enables security teams to monitor network traffic for signs of unauthorized behavior. When threat actors conduct sophisticated systemwide attacks or engage in lateral movement between subnetworks, they leave traces that network traffic monitoring can detect. […]

What is Managed Detection & Response (MDR)?In today's digital landscape, where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and prevalent, organizations need robust cybersecurity measures to protect their assets and data. Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a crucial component of any comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. This webpage aims to provide an overview of MDR, its importance, key features, and benefits. What is […]

What is malware?What is malware? Any software designed with malicious intent is malware. It’s a broad category that includes ransomware, spyware, computer viruses, and more. Malware is intentionally created to harm computer systems, making malware attacks distinct from cyberattacks that exploit vulnerabilities in legitimate software. The vast majority of modern cyberattacks involve malware to some degree. Intentionally […]

What is Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)?Find out how secure organizations protect their endpoints from sophisticated threats. Every organization uses endpoints as an interface between users and network assets. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platforms continuously monitor these end-user devices to detect threats and launch coordinated responses to them. Endpoint devices include everything from mobile phones, tablets, desktop computers, virtual machines, […]

What are Indicators of Compromise (IOCs)?What are Indicators of Compromise (IOCs?) Every action that a user, asset, or application makes on your network leaves a trace of some kind. Security practitioners use digital forensics to piece together evidence and understand how threat actors work. Each individual piece of evidence connected to a particular security incident is called an indicator of […]

The Modern Security Operations Center (SOC) Explained Your organization's security operations team performs a vital role protecting users, applications, and assets from cyberattack. It uses a variety of highly specialized tools to monitor for signs of unauthorized activity and investigate security events when they occur. Specialist security tools require specialist expertise. Centralizing security workflows in a single facility makes it easier and […]

Introduction to Incident Response: The Definitive Guide Preventing cyberattacks and data breaches is a major part of every organization’s information security strategy. However, even the best prevention-based approach won’t work 100% of the time. Security leaders must be prepared to detect and respond to security incidents at any moment. What is incident response? Incident response is the coordinated process by which security […]

Incident Response Frameworks Explained The incident response process is necessarily a reactive one. You can only respond to an incident once it has been detected. This makes it difficult to predict or optimize incident response outcomes. If an organization has never experienced a ransomware attack, how will it know when it’s ready to face one? Incident response frameworks enable […]
