Does anyone like receiving calls from telemarketers? Unless you use the opportunity to set up a prank and get a good laugh, odds are these calls annoy you just as much as me. These over-the-phone salespeople are frustratingly persistent as they interrupt my day, and they also missed one key step when they dialed my number: Researching whether there was any chance that I would want their product.
Over the last decade, cloud computing has revolutionized the way we handle and store data, which has, in turn, paved the way for greater innovations in technology. What can we expect from cloud computing as the technology advances?
I've been working at WebGazer for seven months. For every day I spend in this business, I feel like I'm trying to run on a tightrope. Since our job is website monitoring, I see the similar downtime tragedies every day. I was reading some old downtime stories like "Amazon has lost $3.75 million in only 20 minutes!". Then, I decided to make a research about some possible downtime tragedies might happen.

Logagent is a modern, open-source, light-weight data shipper with out of the box and extensible log parsing, on-disk buffering, secure transport and bulk indexing to Elasticsearch and Sematext Cloud. Its low memory footprint and low CPU overhead make it suitable for deploying on edge nodes and devices, while its ability to parse and structure logs makes it a great Logstash alternative.
One of the most common security use cases, is the ability to identify connections generated by malicious actors, or internal components connecting to suspicious servers (e.g malware C&Cs). In this post, we will show how to leverage the Falco engine, to identify connections made to IPs that were flagged by multiple security sensors, and are streamed as a feed to the Falco engine.
In my previous post, we looked at how event correlation can be used to deal with advanced persistent threats (APTs). The thing is, an APT is just one ugly face of a much larger epidemic: the data breach. In this blog, we examine this larger problem and the role of event correlation in securing sensitive data.
