At Illuminate 2020, Kashif Iqbal, Head of Corporate Technology and Cyber Security at SEGA Europe, shared their data security challenges and how they currently leverage Sumo Logic for their security needs. Kashif spoke about the four main benefits their security team have experienced since switching to Sumo Logic.

Now, you can ship ModSecurity logs to Logz.io to automatically surface high-priority attacks identified by ModSecurity. Logz.io will automatically parse those logs to project a greater bird’s-eye-view of your security situation within dedicated dashboards. ModSecurity is a prolific web application firewall (WAF) popularly used to help secure web servers. It supports Apache HTTP, IIS, and NGINX. It can deploy either as a proxy server or within a web server itself.

At Sumo Logic Illuminate 2020, The Energy Authority’s IT Director for Service Delivery and Support Scott Follick spoke about the TEA, how they do things, what they have learned in the process of searching for a SIEM solution, and why they chose Sumo.

During Sumo Logic’s Illuminate user conference, Heath Hendrickson, senior security architect at the Clorox company, and Gary Conner, senior threat protection lead, presented how they are leveraging Sumo Logic across security operations, threat hunting, IT operations, and more.

The global security community recently learned of a supply chain attack against SolarWinds via their Orion® Platform. In this blog we are providing recommendations for Sumo Logic customers to gain a deeper understanding of how to utilize available Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) within our Cloud SIEM offerings to determine your exposure to the attack. Additionally, we’re sharing targeted search recommendations from our Sumo Logic Special Operations (or SpecOps) threat hunting team.

Sumo Logic has reviewed the announced breach on December 8, 2020 by FireEye and their subsequent public release of over 300 countermeasure rules. We are continuing to analyze the available information and would like to share this update to all existing and prospective customers interested in how our Sumo Logic services can assist with this development.

SIEM has traditionally earned itself a bad reputation as an unwieldy and unmanageable tool that really never lived up to its promises. In my presentation during Illuminate, I talked about what Sumo Logic is doing to modernize log analytics and SIEM as a whole. Today, we see that despite how overall technology is accelerating, security always seems to lag behind. In Sumo Logic, we address this head-on.
