SC Magazine eBook on SIEM (2015)
Life would be much easier for security teams if log files were able to flash an alert that says, "The system has a problem here." However, the reality in most enterprises is that the amount of data contained in logs can be massive, especially when the operating system, applications, network devices, storage devices, servers and workstations all are generating multiple log files concurrently. As this new eBook from SC Magazine explains, for the IT personnel in charge of enterprise security, separating the few really important alerts from all the noise becomes of paramount importance.
Road Warrior Spotlight
For access to the internet and corporate networks, today's most efficient road warriors equip themselves with a range of devices, accessories and services - everything from laptops, tablets and smartphones to 3G modems, as well as video and conferencing apps using VoIP, like Google Voice, FaceTime and Skype. But, while mobile connections can be convenient for workers on the go, the security of the transmissions is still a primary concern for those charged with protecting corporate assets. And, individuals emailing and transferring documents from a café, hotel room or any Wi-Fi-enabled hotspot outside of their protected VPN, is potentially putting their own personal data at risk. What can road warriors do to better protect their employer's data (as well as their own personal information)? For this latest Spotlight we spoke with a number of industry experts to gain their first-hand knowledge of best practices, tools and strategies that, if implemented, could greatly improve the security of digital transmissions - be it via email, dropping files onto a shared cloud server, mobile phone call or videoconference.
