It’s time to re-evaluate the modern data stack to relieve friction points and ensure both accessibility and compliance. By automating security workflows and controls across data stores and integrating into self-service access, productivity and innovation will thrive.
The path to success requires artificial intelligence and machine learning to supercharge the expertise and experience of an equally innovative and warm-bodied defender working as part of an enterprise security operations center and outsourced services like managed detection and response.
Mira LaCous, Chief Technology Officer of the biometrics-led identity access management provider, BIO-key International, talks to Security magazine about current trends in biometric security.
The top three priorities for IT professionals are improvement of IT security, cloud migration and automation to increase IT productivity, according to a new Kaseya survey.
In today’s world, business process automation solutions are considered the fastest-growing segment on the global enterprise software market. However, both business owners and frequent users alike often express their doubts about the capability of automation tools to operate at the proper level required by enterprise data security, especially with many employees working from home due to the pandemic.
Siemplify released new research on “The State of Remote Security Operations.” Based on a recent survey of nearly 400 security operations (SecOps) professionals, the report studies how the sudden shift to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic has affected SecOps analysts’ ability to perform their jobs and the impact on overall security postures.
Machines are better at speed and scale than humans. But humans have the edge over machines at thinking outside of the box, using their curiosity and creativity to come up with solutions, and reasoning that machines cannot define or replicate. When it comes to security operations, humans and automation are the duo that’s stronger and more effective in partnership than when they’re apart. Using extended detection and response (XDR) can bring these skills to the forefront of the Security Operations Center (SOC), leaving the repeatable, boring tasks to the machines and allowing for these human traits to shine.
SOAR’s place in the fast-moving security arena has changed, and it is being swallowed up by advanced SIEMs. A new Gartner report sheds light on how the market has shifted and lays bare the paradox of smaller SOC teams, who need automated triage the most but aren’t able to maintain a SOAR.
Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) solutions came on the market around six years ago. The two main objectives of these tools were to orchestrate 3rd party tools for filtering false positive alerts out of the network, and to automatically block attacks. SOAR came on the scene with bold statements to fill in some of the gaps that existed in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms, which have been making security analysts miserable for twenty years now.
