Organizations are suffering from cyber fatigue, with too many alerts, too many technologies, and not enough people. Many security operations center (SOC) teams are underskilled and overworked, making it extremely difficult to streamline operations and decrease the time it takes to detect and remediate security incidents.
Addressing these challenges requires a shift in the tactics and strategies deployed in SOCs. But building an effective SOC is hard; many companies struggle first with implementation and then with figuring out how to take their security operations to the next level.

Definition
Gartner defines a SOC as both a team, often operating in shifts around the clock, and a facility dedicated to and organized to prevent, detect, assess and respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents, and to fulfill and assess regulatory compliance. The term "cybersecurity operation center "is often used synonymously for SOC.
A network operations center (NOC) is not a SOC, which focuses on network device management rather than detecting and responding to cybersecurity incidents. Coordination between the two is common, however.
A managed security service is not the same as having a SOC — although a service provider may offer services from a SOC. A managed service is a shared resource and not solely dedicated to a single organization or entity. Similarly, there is no such thing as a managed SOC.
Most of the technologies, processes and best practices that are used in a SOC are not specific to a SOC. Incident response or vulnerability management remain the same, whether delivered from a SOC or not. It is a meta-topic, involving many security domains and disciplines, and depending on the services and functions that are delivered by the SOC.
Services that often reside in a SOC are:
• Cyber security incident response
• Malware analysis
• Forensic analysis
• Threat intelligence analysis
• Risk analytics and attack path modeling
• Countermeasure implementation
• Vulnerability assessment
• Vulnerability analysis
• Penetration testing
• Remediation prioritization and coordination
• Security intelligence collection and fusion
• Security architecture design
• Security consulting
• Security awareness training
• Security audit data collection and distribution

Introduction to Risk Management via the NIST Cyber Security FrameworkPECB
The cyber security profession has successfully established explicit guidance for practitioners to implement effective cyber security programs via the NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF). The CSF provides both a roadmap and a measuring stick for effective cyber security. Application of the CSF within cyber is nothing new, but the resurgence of Enterprise Security Risk Management and Security Convergence highlight opportunities for expanded application for cyber, physical, and personnel security risks. This NIST CSF can help practitioners build a cross-pollenated understanding of holistic risk.
Main points covered:
• Understand the purpose, value, and application of the NIST CSF in familiar non-technical terms.
• Understand how the Functions and Categories of the NIST CSF (the CSF “Core”) and an organization's “current” and “target” profiles are relevant and valuable in a variety of sectors and environments.
• Understand how an organization’s physical and cyber security resources and stakeholders can align with the NIST CSF as a tool to achieve holistic security risk management.

Webinar: Get Ready to Detect, Respond & Recover from a Cyber AttackAujas
It is given that you will be hacked, irrespective of your level of cyber security. Learn how you can detect, respond & recover from cyber attacks. Quicker.
Key Content:
1. The threat landscape and how existing monitoring and response capabilities are ineffective in detecting and responding to advanced cyber attacks
2. Lifecycle and speed of an attack and how early detection can help in responding and managing losses
3. Blueprint for an effective (and vendor agnostic) Incident Management Program
If you have been tracking the Cyber Security News lately, one thing is for sure - Cyber Attacks are imminent and it is a matter of time when you will be the next one to come under an attack, if not already.
What Robert Mueller, Former Director of FBI said in RSA Conference in March 2012 is still very relevant.
"I am convinced that there are only two types of companies: those that have been hacked and those that will be. ” and what he says further makes it worse "And even they are converging into one category: companies that have been hacked and will be hacked again."
Cyber attacks are no more a work of lone warriors or a group of hackers but involve cyber crime syndicates, collaborating and pumping large amount of money, precision, knowledge, expertise and persistence. Their capabilities are equal if not better than state sponsors.
Data says that cyber security incidents affects all kinds of organizations - small, medium or large and across all industries - financial, telecom, utility, health care, education and more. Organizations fail to detect and respond to security incidents due to weak monitoring capabilities and lack of expertise, tools and procedures.
In this webinar we will look at the cause and effect of the problem, analyze preparedness and learn how you can better prepare, detect, respond and recover from cyber attacks.

This paper discusses the question of optimizing security decisions in an organization, based on the information provided by the technical security infrastructure.
An organization’s security architecture is comprehensively guided by cybersecurity frameworks and they delineate a set of best practices to be followed in specific circumstances. Additionally, these documents carry response strategies for significant incidents like breaches, system failures, and compromises.
Your Challenge
As the market evolves, capabilities that were once cutting edge become default and new functionality becomes differentiating.
Vendors use a lot of marketing jargon, buzzwords, and statistics to sell their solutions, making objective evaluation rather difficult.
The endpoint protection (EPP) market is overcrowded and fragmented, resulting in information overload and consequently, a difficult vendor assessment.
Disparate product solutions are being bundled into one-off solutions or suites, often resulting in less efficient solutions than the more niche players.
Imminent obsolescence is an issue. Previous EPP solutions have not adapted with the rapidly evolving threat landscape and are no longer relevant, resulting in breaches or vulnerabilities.
Critical Insight
Don’t let vendors and market reports define your endpoint protection needs. Identify the use cases and corresponding feature sets that best align with your risk profile before evaluating the vendor marketspace.
Your security controls are diminishing in value (if they haven’t already). Develop a strategy that accounts for the rapid evolution and imminent obsolescence of your endpoint controls. Plan for future needs when making purchasing decisions today.
Endpoint protection is a matter of defense in depth and risk modelling, there is no silver bullet protection and mitigation solution. As end-client-technology providers release regular product/software updates, security tools will become outdated. Multiyear endpoint protection commitments will leave you playing a constant game of catch up.
Impact and Result
The solution is a holistic internal security assessment that not only identifies, but satisfies, your desired endpoint protection feature set with the corresponding endpoint protection suite and a comprehensive implementation strategy.
Use this blueprint to walk through the steps of selecting and implementing an endpoint protection solution that best aligns with your organizational needs.
An organization’s security architecture is comprehensively guided by cybersecurity frameworks and they delineate a set of best practices to be followed in specific circumstances. Additionally, these documents carry response strategies for significant incidents like breaches, system failures, and compromises.
A framework is important because it helps standardize service delivery across various companies over time and familiarizes terminologies, procedures, and protocols within an organization or across the industry.
Improve Information Security Practices in the Small EnterpriseGeorge Goodall
Over 80% of small-medium sized business consider themselves non-targets for cyber-attacks. However, 60% of all targeted attacks are towards small-medium sized organizations. The capabilities of hackers have risen dramatically in the last two years. Organizations of all sizes need a security plan. Security by obscurity is no longer a viable option. Adopt a proven strategy to protect vital corporate assets.

Exhaust into Fuel: Turning Data into a Strategic Business AssetSirius
In our digital world, the key to gaining a competitive advantage is learning to see data as currency. We are producing more data than ever, roughly 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day, and that number is only expected to grow. While all this data may seem to be merely the exhaust or remnants of our digital trail, data scientists at Intel® and other tech companies have been turning this data into much more through advanced data science, including the adoption of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
View to learn:
• How AI is possible with IT modernization and Cloud
• Why enterprises are going data-centric
• Best Business Use Cases for AI
• AI’s biggest advantages and challenges
Web applications are under siege as hackers work around the clock to identify weak spots and steal data. Last year’s Equifax data breach put a spotlight on web-application vulnerabilities, which can be used to target any organization with an internet presence.
Cyber attackers have embraced the use of automation to scan applications for vulnerabilities. Protecting against application-layer techniques such as SQL injection (SQLi), cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and distributed denial of service (DDoS) is imperative, but automated attacks can overwhelm existing security solutions.
Join us to learn:
• How to maintain awareness of evolving web application issues and trends
• Tips for advancing patch management and vulnerability assessment processes

Optimizing Your IT Strategy: 5 Steps to Successfull Hybrid ITSirius
When you look at your calendar, browse your favorite tech news sites and leaf through your interoffice mail, one topic likely keeps coming up: the benefits of cloud services. Dropbox, Salesforce, Workday and more reside in the cloud, but at your organization, you’ve relied on homegrown applications or an ill-fitting, slow-moving cloud strategy. If you move everything to the cloud, what kind of risk will you incur? What (or who) will you lose, and how painful will the move be?
A carefully planned and executed hybrid IT strategy ensures that you’ll get the most from your cloud and on-premises solutions. Without an effective cloud strategy in place, you’re likely to become overwhelmed to the point of inactivity. Fear of losing ground to the competition, pressure to keep costs down and a genuine lack of knowledge about the best path forward could keep you in limbo forever.

While they originate in different countries and apply to different organizations, their primary message is the same:
Protect your data, or pay a steep price. More specifically, protect the sensitive data you collect from customers.
With deadlines looming, is your organization ready?
The time to act is now. Read more to learn:
--Key mandates and minimum requirements for compliance
--Why a comprehensive data-centric security strategy is invaluable to all data protection and data privacy efforts
--How you can gauge your organization’s incident response capabilities
--How to extend your focus beyond the organization’s figurative four walls to ensure requirements are met throughout your supply chain
The first New York requirements deadline has arrived. With the next deadline of mandates only 6 months away, you don't want to fall behind and leave your organization at risk for potential penalties and fines.
Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) - Managed and Hosted Solutions ...Sirius
SIEM technology has been around for years and continues to enjoy broad market adoption. Companies continue to rely on SIEM capabilities to handle proactive security monitoring, detection and response, and regulatory compliance. However, with today’s staggering volume of cyber-security threats and the number of security devices, network infrastructures and system logs, IT security staff can become quickly overwhelmed.
Gartner projects that by 2020:
-- 50% of new SIEM implementations will be delivered via SIEM as a service.
-- 60% of all advanced security analytics will be delivered from the cloud as part of SIEM-as-a-service offerings.
Traditional prevention and detection methods are being bypassed, and many organizations either don’t know what to do, or they don’t have the right resources in place to advance their security.
To keep up with highly skilled and aggressive attackers, we have to move beyond the predictable patterns of network security and static defenses that our cyber adversaries are well-attuned to.

Your Cloud Strategy: Evolution or RevolutionSirius
Digital Transformation is the new black in IT.
Every business needs IT to be faster, cheaper and more flexible. Traditional IT cannot adapt to the new rules in many markets. In an increasingly disruptive competitive environment, digital transformation through cloud looms as an inevitability.
You need a cloud strategy, however, many organizations struggle with the “what, why, where and how.” You must honestly and thoroughly assess your current state and your future needs, with very clearly defined expected business outcomes. A plan is key; it can be very difficult to get to a new destination without map or a GPS.
Can you methodically evolve and optimize your IT, or is a revolution required now to save your business from getting left behind? View to learn:
--Key questions to ask yourself to understand if you need an IT evolution or revolution.
--Use cases that can drive the pace and scope of your digital transformation.
--What evolution and revolution look like in practice.
--How this approach sets you up to create the right cloud strategy for your business.
Endpoints are everywhere, and endpoint security is evolving. Endpoints also remain the most attractive target for hackers as a point of entry for attacks because they’re connected to the weakest link in enterprise data protection: humans.
View the SlideShare to learn:
--Why evolving threats require increased endpoint defense capabilities.
--What organizations can do to protect against known and unknown threats, while reducing manual processes for administrators.
--The primary capabilities of endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, and how you can find the right fit for your business.
--Where your organization sits on the endpoint security maturity scale.
--Keys to maturing your endpoint security strategy.
A new generation of products and services is helping organizations keep pace with modern threats and advance beyond traditional, prevention-oriented endpoint protection to a more comprehensive — and realistic — focus on detection and incident response.
Open Source, Open Mindset: 4 Keys to Continuous Cloud TransformationSirius

7 Essential Services Every Data Center Solutions Provider Should HaveSirius
Migrating to a new data center isn’t just about getting more floor space, power and cooling for your IT equipment. Instead, it’s about getting the infrastructure and IT services that you need to be flexible, and to easily scale and meet changing business demands.
When you research data center solutions providers, find out what additional services they offer beyond just real estate, cooling and power. Additional services, ranging from managed services to migration to managed hosting, can help you keep pace with changing customer and business demands.
Learn about the seven essential services that your data center solutions provider should provide you in 2016 and beyond.
It is no longer enough to focus our efforts on networks and endpoints. As IT changes continue to occur, organizations need to keep pace and advance their security by focusing on the data itself through the development of a data-centric security program.
A comprehensive data-centric security strategy includes the following 10 key elements:
1 - Data discovery
2 - Data classification
3 - Data tagging & watermarking
4 - Data loss prevention
5 - Data visibility
6 - Encryption strategies
7 - Enhanced gateway controls
8 - Identity management
9 - Cloud access
10 - Continuous education
This presentation contains a synopsis of each element. As organizations develop a data-centric security program, it is important to assess current maturity levels and determine which areas need to be prioritized and remediated first.
Cyber attacks carried out by nation-states and cybercrime rings often get the headlines, but insider threats can be far more costly and damaging. A recent cyber security study by Ponemon points to insiders as the most costly source of attacks at an average of nearly $145,000 each, and incidents involving insiders also take the longest to resolve, averaging 54 days.
What you will learn:
--The types of insiders behind these threats.
-- How to determine if your organization is doing enough to address them.
--Five key elements to building an effective insider threat strategy.
--How to move beyond IT and treat these threats as an operational issue that crosses people, process and technology.
6 Steps for Operationalizing Threat IntelligenceSirius
The best form of defense against cyber attacks and those who perpetrate them is to know about them. Collaborative defense has become critical to IT security, and sharing threat intelligence is a force multiplier. But for many organizations, good quality intelligence is hard to come by.
Commercial threat intelligence technology and services can help enterprises arm themselves with the strategic, tactical and operational insights they need to identify and respond to global threat activity, and integrate intelligence into their security programs.
Threat intelligence sources have varying levels of relevance and context, and there are concerns about data quality and redundancy, shelf life, public/private data sharing, and threat intelligence standards. However, if processed and applied properly, threat intelligence provides a way for organizations to get the insight they need into attackers’ plans, prioritize and respond to threats, shorten the time between attack and detection, and focus staff efforts and decision-making.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

IMPLEMENT
ADVANCED
ANALYTICS
13. Consider the following questions:
• What security controls do you have in your environment? When was the last time your technology was evaluated?
• Do you have the visibility you need into your business activities, and the assets that are most likely to be targeted by
cyber adversaries?
• Can your security controls ingest and display threat intelligence delivered in a variety of formats (XML, CSV, and JSON)
in the form of indicators, tags, labels, text, and reports?
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework and special publications on security and privacy controls, as well as the CIS Critical
Security Controls (often referred to as the SANS Top 20) can assist you in establishing a strong foundation.
ENSURE FUNDAMENTALS ARE IN PLACE
Organizations looking to enable sophisticated analytics first need to ensure they have the right fundamentals in place. Many
cyber attacks take advantage of basic, often unnoticed security vulnerabilities, such as poor patch management
procedures, weak passwords, personal email services, and the lack of end-user education and sound security policies. A
mature SOC should make sure they have a complete picture of their infrastructure—what’s deployed, how it’s being used,
who’s using it, and if it’s up to date.
14. User and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) helps to establish baselines of normal user behavior, and
facilitate the detection of users with high-risk identity profiles as well as high-risk activity, access, and events
associated with insider threats and compromised accounts. Organizations can quickly identify threats based
on actions that stray from normal patterns. SIEM vendors are adding UEBA as a feature, or partnering with
UEBA vendors to deliver behavioral modeling, machine learning, and advanced analytics.
User Behavior
Analytics
COMPLEMENTARY ANALYTICS
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions include all of the components of traditional endpoint
defenses such as anti-virus, host IPS, and heuristics to prevent exploits and malware propagation, but
also enable SOCs and IR teams to leverage additional capabilities such as ransomware detection,
continuous endpoint recording, and live endpoint investigation and remediation. They are typically
broken into four categories: threat prevention, threat detection and response, endpoint monitoring and
management, and digital forensics.
Network analytics enable the analysis of traffic flow and packets. Analysts can collect, process,
correlate, and analyze metadata throughout the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) stack to
determine what happened, when. Targeted attacks often follow the “cyber kill chain,” and these
controls can be used to block or detect malicious activity within each of its seven phases. While
network security analytics tend to focus on internal data, they can be integrated with threat intelligence
to provide an outside-in perspective as well.
Threat intelligence helps you arm yourself with strategic, tactical, and operational insights to understand
how you are being targeted, and respond accordingly. Threat data is not the same as threat
intelligence; dumping raw information into organizations that are drowning in data exacerbates staffing
and false positive issues. Threat intelligence incorporates the context that makes threat data relevant to
an organization or industry.

Popular Incident Response Frameworks
NIST 800-61
The National Institute of
Standards and Technology
developed this framework to
help organizations develop their
incident response teams and
processes in order to properly
plan for, assess, respond to, and
recover from potential threats.
CERT (CSIRT)
The Computer Emergency
Response Team created this
handbook, which includes a
popular framework companies
often use to model their own
incident response plans. The
handbook also covers how to set
up an IRT, as well as tools and
workflows to facilitate effective
response to security events.
ISACA
Developed by the Information
Systems Audit and Control
Association (ISACA), this
framework is an incident
response plan companies use
when becoming COBIT
compliant. It models the ways in
which companies can manage
risk and establish controls and
protections over information
systems, technologies, and
intellectual property.
ISO/IEC 270035
The International Organization
for Standardization (ISO)
and the International
Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) developed this rigid and
formal incident response
framework that organizations
are required to implement when
becoming ISO 27001 compliant;
it establishes specific and
detailed steps to manage and
respond to security threats.
21. CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
• Is your IR plan based on a framework?
• Is it frequently reviewed and updated?
• Has it ever been tested and validated?
• Do you have a retainer with an IR firm and/or have
cybersecurity insurance?
