The latest News and Information on CyberSecurity for Applications, Services and Infrastructure, and related technologies.
2017 was supposed to be the year of the Internet of Things (IoT)—the year that this highly-touted technology matured and started producing tangible results for organizations. However, the last 12 months have left advocates of IoT frustrated. A report from Cisco claims that close to 75 percent of all IoT projects fail, and IoT as a buzzword has been replaced by the likes of artificial intelligence and blockchain.

Few things put more fear into the hearts of IT departments than the thought of a massive cyber attack — and for good reason. In 2017, the average cost of security breaches for U.S. organizations was estimated at $3.5 million. But it’s not all about the money.

Anyone trying to access resources in your network needs to interact with your network devices: firewalls, routers, switches, and IDS/IPSs. Each of these devices generate syslogs that contain important security information and must be audited to gain complete visibility into the activities occurring in your network. Most SIEM solutions, including our own Log360, can collect and analyze syslogs in real time and instantly alert security teams if any security event of interest occurs.
