The world of threat detection and response is broad, with many different components. And each of those components must work together to fully protect your business’s digital assets. Security and information event management (SIEM) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) are two pieces of the larger security puzzle. The ultimate goal is to eliminate dwell time (the amount of time an adversary goes undetected in your environment). While EDR and… Read More
What Is the Difference Between Threat Protection and Threat Detection?
Threat protection and threat detection are two essential elements of cybersecurity. “Protection” focuses on stopping threats, while “detection” is all about finding them. But neither protection nor detection can exist in a vacuum. The two have to work together—along with other strategic elements—to be effective. In fact, good threat protection is predicated on proper threat detection. And threat detection is meaningless without a way to protect one’s assets. Proper threat… Read More
What Is Threat Detection in Cybersecurity?
Cyberattacks are the most nefarious and organized threats modern businesses face. With cyberattacks happening every 39 seconds, taking calculated measures to detect and neutralize threats before your systems are compromised is of the utmost importance. This is where threat detection and response comes into play. Threat detection is the ability to quickly and accurately identify threats to the endpoint, network, applications, or other assets. Threat response is the mitigation efforts… Read More
How Much Does EDR cost?
Security solutions such as threat detection and response (TDR) or endpoint detection and response (EDR) have become the “go-to” for companies looking to better protect their data and prevent cyberattacks within their systems. Despite an average cybersecurity budget increase of 29% in 2023, cyber experts say they need a further 40% rise to be confident in their ability to mitigate security risks. While cybersecurity can be costly, the cost of… Read More
How Do I Choose a Threat Detection Tool for My Organization?
With 3,000 cybersecurity tools on the market, and many threat detection and response tools that sound the same, it can be difficult to discern what’s best for your business. Depending on the research report, enterprises deploy between 40-70 security tools. So, let’s take a look at your options (in today’s threat landscape, doing nothing is no longer an option): 1. Do it yourself – run multiple POCs, purchase, install, integrate,… Read More
How Can I Identify Potential Cybersecurity Risks?
To effectively identify potential cybersecurity risks, you need a robust threat detection and response strategy that vigilantly monitors your digital environment, swiftly identifies suspicious activities, and mounts an immediate defense. With these advanced capabilities at your disposal, you can proactively identify and mitigate potential cybersecurity risks, ensuring the safety of your valuable data and assets. In a world where the economic impact of cyberattacks is projected to reach a staggering… Read More
Can XDR Replace EDR?
In the world of cybersecurity threat detection and response, EDR (endpoint detection and response) is often touted as the most important element of a business’ security strategy. EDR, as its name implies, focuses on endpoint protection—meaning all the devices that connect to the business network. So, there’s a good reason for the emphasis especially given the distributed environments we all operate in today. Access to the endpoint gives adversaries access… Read More
Why is Email Security Important?
When it comes to threat detection and response, statistics from 2022 and into 2023 emphasize the growing challenge organizations—and the cybersecurity industry—have in terms of “people-proofing” attack vectors. Cybercriminals capitalize on stolen credentials, privilege misuse, and human error, and they apply well-orchestrated social engineering tactics on their victims. 93% of successful cyberattacks start with a phishing email. Indeed, business email compromise (BEC) and pretexting has doubled in just one year…. Read More
Achieving a Successful Digital Transformation
Recently, I had the opportunity to assist a major construction firm with their digital transformation. Like many organizations, COVID drove the need to support a remote workforce. However, additional factors were at play, including IT staffing shortages and aging infrastructure that was nearing end of support. Given the distributed nature of the company’s ROBO (remote office, branch office) and SOHO (small office, home office) locations, their IT staff faced challenges… Read More
ChatGPT is an infant that’s been given the internet
The “godfather of AI” just quit Google so he could speak freely about the dangers of generative AI products. The concern is the speed and acceleration without guardrails. Historically, we’ve had some really smart people in the hacker space that were doing things on the dark side. But now, we’ve just enabled many other bad actors who aren’t as savvy to do nefarious things. Zero Trust is 30 years old…. Read More
