Event correlation tools are a fundamental instrument in your toolbox to detect threats from all sources across your organization in real time. A wise use of the right event correlation techniques through log management and analysis is the cornerstone of any reliable security information and event management (SIEM) strategy – a strategy that focuses on prevention rather than reaction.
Over the past few years, cloud computing has passed through its hype and early-adopter phases. Now we are hitting the peak of migration from on-premise to cloud-based infrastructure. Consequently, this transition and the advent of cloud computing has dramatically changed the way we think about security. Namely, the security paradigm has shifted towards a Zero Trust Security Model.
At Logz.io we’re always keeping tabs on the latest and greatest in the DevOps world, for the benefit of both our own engineering team and for the teams that use our products. As the days get shorter and colder, we decided to look back on 2019 and share the top trends we’ve seen in 2019 so far. The acronym “CALMS” (Culture, Automation, Lean, Measurement, Sharing) is a helpful way to structure thinking about DevOps tools and techniques.
Screens display a series of widgets that you can use to share across your organization. Widgets can display your log activity, from the number of logs ingested in the last 4 hours, to a line graph comparing today’s logs to yesterday’s logs. You can control the data you want to display by creating a “Screen” with a combination of different widgets. Post your screen on a company monitor to provide your organization with a snapshot of your system’s activity.
Graylog’s log aggregation features are useful for a lot of tasks, ranging from regular troubleshooting to detecting issues as soon as they become manifest. Optimizing log management by aggregating all meaningful data is a quick and efficient way to isolate any problem to root causes and solve it with minimal impact on services. Aggregated data is easier to parse and analyze – you can reduce the number of data points in a meaningful way and obtain the answer you need from them.
Since we released Loki, our log aggregation system, our customers have been asking about using it not only for logs but also for less frequent events. Even though the strength of Loki lies in its ease of operation and automatic labeling for high-frequency logs, it can also be used for events out of the box.
The constant evolution of security threats has long-since made preventing cyber-attacks and network intrusion attempts a nearly impossible task. Real threats are often hard to identify among a multitude of false alarms, and many experts understand that a well-integrated and fully-automated threat intelligence strategy is the best approach. Nevertheless, 70% of security industry professionals still believe threat intelligence to be too complex and bulky to provide actionable insights.
You know what they say: you can’t fix what you can’t find. That’s what makes log management such a critical element in the DevOps process. Logging provides key information for software developers on the lookout for code errors. While working on their third startup in 2013, Chris Nguyen and Lee Liu realized that traditional log management was wholly inadequate for addressing data sprawl in the modern, cloud-native development stack.
In the first post of our three-part Amazon Redshift series, we covered what Redshift is and how it works. For the second installment, we’ll discuss how Amazon Redshift queries are analyzed and monitored. Before we go deep into gauging query performance on Redshift, let’s take a quick refresher on what Amazon Redshift is and what it does.
