Lambda is a top-rated compute service available on the AWS cloud service network. Its popularity largely derives from its ease of use, allowing users to run Lambda functions reliably without provisioning or managing servers. Lambda can be triggered manually or by any linked events in the AWS network, including DynamoDB streams, SQS, Kinesis, and more.
IoT has rapidly moved from a fringe technology to a mainstream collection of techniques, protocols, and applications that better enable you to support and monitor a highly distributed, complex system. One of the most critical challenges to overcome is processing an ever-growing stream of analytics data, from IoT security data to business insights, coming from each device. Many protocols have been implemented for this, but could logs provide a powerful option for IoT data and IoT monitoring?
2021 was quite a year. Some things changed, and some things very much stayed the same. The world of cyber security was not immune to this zeitgeist, with some aspects of the threat landscape persisting and some rapidly changing and evolving. This piece will examine the key trends in the cybersecurity threat landscape that we saw over the last year.
In a previous post, we looked at an example of a fictional bookstore company and recommended mirroring strategies for that specific scenario. In this post, we’ll be looking at a fictional bank and recommended mirroring strategies for their network traffic. For a list of the most commonly used strategies, check out our traffic mirroring tutorial.
In the past 24 hours, funding website GiveSendGo has reported that they’ve been the victim of a DDOS attack, in response to the politically charged debate about funding for vaccine skeptics. The GiveSendGo DDOS is the latest in a long line of political cyberattacks that have relied on the DDOS mechanism as a form of political activism. There were millions of these attacks in 2021 alone.
With progressive delivery, DevOps, scrum, and agile methodologies, the software delivery process has become faster and more collaborative than ever before. Scrum has emerged as a ubiquitous framework for agile collaboration, instilling some basic meetings and roles into a team and enabling them to begin iterating on product increments quickly. However, as scrum teams grow and systems become more complex, it can be difficult to maintain productivity levels in your organization.
You have to capture everything to investigate security issues thoroughly, right? More often than not, data that at one time was labeled irrelevant and thrown away is found to be the missing piece of the puzzle when investigating a malicious attacker or the source of an information leak. So, you need to capture every network packet.
When you’re working with large data sets, having that data structured in a way that means you can use software to process and understand it will enable you to derive insights far more quickly than any manual approach. Logfile data is no exception.
