Large amounts of data no longer reside within siloed applications. A global workforce, combined with the growing need for data, is driving an increasingly distributed and complex attack surface that needs to be protected. Sophisticated cyberattacks can easily hide inside this data-centric world, making traditional perimeter-only security models obsolete.

Creating dashboards is quicker and easier than before with a new streamlined navigation experience, now available in Kibana 7.12. This dashboard-first approach makes it simple for you to create and add visualizations without leaving your dashboard-building flow. Get started directly from a Kibana dashboard with a few simple steps: Select Create Panel and choose what type of visual you want to build.

If you’re investigating incidents on your Windows hosts, sifting through the Event Viewer can be a painful experience. It’s best to collect and ship Windows Events to a separate backend for easier visualization and analysis – but depending on the solution you choose, this can take some significant legwork. Often, this can require manually configuring a 3rd party tool or agent, just to get started.

Dana Fridman is a design guru. Her contributions to UX at Logz.io are unmatched, and her input on upcoming updates to our app’s UI will be an achievement. But her portfolio is getting more than just Logz.io projects right now. As part of her work here, she is also making her mark on Jaeger. You see, Dana is the major design contributor to the open source Jaeger project. Open source contributions tend to be backend-focused and the domain of developers.

Many threats originate from the endpoint and detecting them requires insights into what happens on the endpoint. In this post we look at different endpoint activity data sources, comparing the benefits and capabilities of Splunk Universal Forwarder with vast limits uberAgent and homegrown solutions.

You’ve most likely heard of Web Assembly. Maybe you’ve heard about how game-changing of a technology it is, and maybe you’ve heard about how it’s going to change the web. Is it true? The answer to this question is not as simple as a yes or no, but we can definitely tell a lot as it’s been around for a while now.

At first glance, there may seem to be little not to love about the ELK Stack. It’s open source. It’s free (if you set it up and manage it yourself, at least). It’s a widely used solution with a thriving ecosystem surrounding it. But if you’ve ever actually built and managed an ELK stack environment, you have probably found that the theory doesn’t match the reality. The ELK stack is full of hidden costs, and it often fails to deliver real value over the long term.

Splunkbase apps are very popular among IT administrators and provide out-of-the-box content for different infrastructure types such as Windows, Unix, VMware, and AWS. As customers expanded their need for more infrastructure types, they historically had to manage and leverage multiple apps. We have now introduced IT Essentials Work, one centralized app that provides a simpler way to monitor and troubleshoot across different infrastructure types without having to install and maintain different apps.

Yes, there is the ability to silence or disable alerts in Graylog. There are times in IT environments where you know you are going to generate specific events in your network. As an example, you are patching servers, upgrading hardware components, and many other things. These types of activities are very common during maintenance windows.
