PCI DSS Dashboards in InsightIDR: New Pre-Built Cards

More Answers, Less Query Language: Bringing Visual Search to InsightIDR

Sitting down with your data lake and asking it questions has never been easy. In the infosec world, there are additional layers of complexity. Users are bouncing between assets, services, and geographical locations, with each monitoring silo producing its own log files and slivers of the complete picture. From a human perspective, distilling this data requires two unique skillsets: * Incident Response [https://www.rapid7.com/fundamentals/incident-response/]: Is this anomalous activity a fa

Incident Detection and Investigation - How Math Helps But Is Not Enough

I love math. I am even going to own up to having been a "mathlete" and looking forward to the annual UVM Math Contest [http://www.emba.uvm.edu/~lkost/UVM_Contest/uvm_contest.html] in high school. I pursued a degree in engineering, so I can now more accurately say that I love applied mathematics, which have a much different goal than pure mathematics. Taking advanced developments in pure mathematics and applying them to various industries in a meaningful manner often takes years or decades. In th

12 Days of HaXmas: Rudolph the Machine Learning Reindeer

Merry HaXmas to you! Each year we mark the 12 Days of HaXmas [/tag/haxmas/] with 12 blog posts on hacking-related topics and roundups from the year. This year, we're highlighting some of the “gifts” we want to give back to the community. And while these gifts may not come wrapped with a bow, we hope you enjoy them. Sam the snowman taught me everything I know about reindeer [disclaimer: not actually true], so it only seemed logical that we bring him back to explain the journey of machine learni

SIEM Tools Aren't Dead, They're Just Shedding Some Extra Pounds

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is security's Schrödinger's cat. While half of today's organizations have purchased SIEM tools [https://rapid7.com/fundamentals/siem-tools/], it's unknown if the tech is useful to the security team… or if its heart is even beating or deployed. In response to this pain, people, mostly marketers, love to shout that SIEM is dead, and analysts are proposing new frameworks with SIEM 2.0/3.0, Security Analytics [https://www.forrester.com/report/Vendor+L

Cyber Threat Intelligence: How Do You Incorporate it in Your InfoSec Strategy?

In the age of user behavior analytics [https://www.rapid7.com/solutions/user-behavior-analytics.jsp?CS=blog], next-gen attacks, polymorphic malware, and reticulating anomalies, is there a time and place for threat intelligence? Of course there is! But – and it seems there is always a ‘but' with threat intelligence – it needs to be carefully applied and managed so that it truly adds value and not just noise. In short, it needs to actually be intelligence, not just data, in order to be valuable to

Displace SIEM "Rules" Built for Machines with Custom Alerts Built For Humans

If you've ever been irritated with endpoint detection being a black box and SIEM [https://www.rapid7.com/solutions/siem.jsp?CS=blog] detection putting the entire onus on you, don't think you had unreasonable expectations; we have all wondered why solutions were only built at such extremes. As software has evolved and our base expectations with it, a lot more people have started to wonder why it requires so many hours of training just to make solutions do what they are designed to do.

Warning: This blog post contains multiple hoorays! #sorrynotsorry

Hooray for crystalware! I hit a marketer's milestone on Thursday – my first official award ceremony, courtesy of the folks at Computing Security Awards [http://computingsecurityawards.co.uk/], which was held at The Cumberland Hotel in London. Staying out late on a school night when there's a 16 month old teething toddler in the house definitely took it's toll the following morning, but the tiredness was definitely softened by the sweet knowledge that we'd left the award ceremony brandishing som

Hide and Seek: Three Unseen Costs in Your SIEM Products

As the saying goes, ‘there is no such thing as a free lunch.' In life, including the technology sector, many things are more expensive than they appear. A free game app encourages in-app purchases to enhance the playing experience, while a new phone requires a monthly plan for data, calling, and texting capabilities. In the security industry, one technology that stands out for its hidden costs is Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools [https://www.rapid7.com/solutions/siem.jsp].
