Microservices vs. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Jul 24, 2020 By Vince Power In Sumo Logic
Technology has a way of circling around to the same ideas over time, but with different approaches that learn from previous iterations. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Microservices Architecture (MSA) are such evolutionary approaches. Where lessons learned made sense, they were reused; and where painful lessons were learned, new methods and ideas were introduced.

Reduce AWS bills with aws-nuke

Jul 16, 2020 By Ramin Safaie, Garrett Nano and Arpit Jain In Sumo Logic
Many of the organizations use AWS as their cloud infrastructure, and in general they have multiple AWS accounts for production, staging, and development. Inevitably, this would result in losing track of various experimental AWS resources instantiated by your developers. Eventually, you will be paying AWS bills for resources which could have been identified and deleted in time. So, how should you go about identifying and deleting such unnecessary resources? aws-nuke to the rescue.

What Data Types to Prioritize in Your SIEM

Jul 15, 2020 By Sumo Logic In Sumo Logic
Customers regularly ask me what types of data sources they should be sending to their SIEMs to get the most value out of the solution. The driver for these conversations is often because the customers have been locked into a SIEM product where they have to pay more for consumption. More log data equals more money and, as a result, enterprises have to make a difficult choice around what log sources and data are what they guess is the most important.

Distributed Tracing & Logging - Better Together

Jul 8, 2020 By Twain Taylor In Sumo Logic
Monitoring requires a multi-faceted approach if DevOps teams want end-to-end visibility and deep insight into issues. This is especially true in the case of modern microservices applications, which are essentially collections of distributed services that talk to each other over a service mesh. With monolithic applications, requests can be tracked easily from the client to the server and back, but with modern applications, every request passes through numerous services before completion.

Defense in depth: DoublePulsar

Jul 7, 2020 By Sumo Logic In Sumo Logic
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you are probably familiar with the recent Shadow Brokers data dump of the Equation Group tools. In that release a precision SMB backdoor was included called Double Pulsar. This backdoor is implemented by exploiting the recently patched Windows vulnerability: CVE-2017-0143. For detection, we are going to first focus on the backdoor portion of the implant, hunting for traces left behind on the network.

Improving Application Quality through Log Analysis

Jul 2, 2020 By Scott Fitzpatrick In Sumo Logic
Throughout the history of software development, one statement has remained true: no application is perfect. Due to that fact, development organizations must work with all resources at their disposal to limit the impact that application problems have on the end-user. Server log files represent an important resource that should be referred to during the process for troubleshooting any application issue.

Domain Hijacking Impersonation Campaigns

Jul 1, 2020 By Kevin Stear In Sumo Logic
A number of domain “forgeries” or tricky, translated look-alikes have been observed recently. These attack campaigns cleverly abuse International Domain Names (IDN) which, once translated into ASCII in a standard browser, result in the appearance of a corporate or organization name that allows the targeting of such organization’s domains for impersonation or hijacking. This attack has been researched and defined in past campaigns as an IDN homograph attack.
