If you ever (have to) ask yourself “When is the right time to address security issues?”, you’re already late to the party. Security isn’t that layer that you just add on top of your application before shipping it to production. Security is a mindset, that constant voice inside your head which asks “Is this safe?” each time you code something that pulls data out of storage or changes structures based on a user’s action.

In part one of this two-part series, we discussed why organizations should adopt a SIEM solution to ensure network security. In this second part, we’ll be demystifying the critical capabilities of SIEM tools and show you what to consider when picking a solution.

At the heart of any SIEM system is log data. A lot of it. Whether from servers, firewalls, databases, or network routers — logs provide analysts with the raw material for gaining insight into events taking place in an IT environment.

Before you roll your eyes at another “as a service” term, listen to what Sumo Logic CSO George Gerchow has to say about it in this latest SnapSecChat video series. The reason why offering solutions “as a service” has become so widespread is because that’s the way it should be done, especially with security.

A few weeks ago, we announced Sysdig partnership with Google to integrate Sysdig Secure with Google Cloud Security Command Center, a single pane of glass for your security events in Google Cloud. Today we announce that Sysdig Falco, our open source project for container and Kubernetes run-time security, can also send Kubernetes security events to Google Cloud Security Command Center. Sysdig Falco is part of the underlying technology of Sysdig Secure.
