For its 25th year, Black Hat USA presented a “unique hybrid event experience, offering the cybersecurity community a choice in how they wish to participate” virtually or in person. It was a jam-packed four days of trainings, conferences, briefings, special events, and cybersecurity solutions.
In just three quarters since Torq was officially launched, our visionary team has delivered a 385% increase in customers, resulting in 360% quarter-over-quarter growth. We’ve also boosted our headcount by 150% and now have more than 100 technology integration partners, including Armis, Orca, SentinelOne, and Wiz. In addition, we recently opened new offices in the UK, Spain, and Taiwan
It’s difficult for even the most advanced security teams to stay on top of evolving incursions and ensure their processes effectively map to prevent them. That’s where pre-built templates come into the conversation. No-code, security automation templates can handle the considerable burden of having to maintain and update processes that integrate with a company’s security stack.
Automation is a powerful tool. With some foresight and a little elbow grease, you can save hours, days, or even months of work by strategically automating repetitive tasks. What makes automation particularly beneficial is that it eliminates manual interaction with multiple systems. Rather than manually uploading data to an event response system or notifying key support personnel of an incident, tying these tasks together through automation can reduce critical time and help resolve problems faster and more efficiently. But, before we can fill in the gaps between all of the platforms we are responsible for, we first need to understand how data moves around on the web and how we can use that process to our advantage.
When you hear the term “chatbot,” your mind may at first turn to things like robotic customer support services on retail websites – a relatively mundane use case for chatbots, and one that is probably hard to get excited about if you’re a security engineer. But, the fact is that chatbots can do much more than provide customer support.
Discovering security threats is good and well. But, in many cases, simply knowing that a threat may exist is not enough. Instead, you also need threat intelligence enrichment. Threat enrichment plays a critical role in helping to evaluate and contextualize threats, root out false positives and gain the insights necessary to mitigate risks as efficiently and quickly as possible.
Control flows are the backbone of automation. Identifying what to do with a set of data – and how – is a key component of high-value automation, but it can also be confusing to wrap your head around at first. What is a conditional? And what does it have to do with a loop? How do you deal with a set of information versus a single data point?
