Syslog remains one of the most widely used and essential methods for collecting event data from network devices such as firewalls, routers, switches, and other infrastructure components.…
Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) is a cybersecurity service that delivers continuous threat detection and response across the entire attack surface, including endpoints, network traffic, cloud environments, and identity systems.
Security information and event management (SIEM) platforms remain the backbone of modern security operations. They collect and analyze logs from across the environment, correlate events, and surface alerts that help security teams detect and respond to threats.
Security operations centers (SOCs) are built to detect and respond to threats in real time. Yet in most environments, the biggest challenge is not a lack of alerts. It is the overwhelming number of them.
When security incidents occur, speed matters. The difference between a contained event and a full-scale breach often comes down to minutes, not hours.…
Suspicious files are one of the most common starting points for modern cyberattacks. A single attachment, download, or payload delivered through email can lead to ransomware, credential theft, or full environment compromise.
Security Information and Event Management platforms are a core part of modern security operations. At the center of every SIEM are detection rules, which help identify suspicious activity, surface threats, and trigger investigations.
Vulnerability scanners identify weaknesses, but they do not show which ones pose real risk. By ingesting vulnerability scanner data into a SIEM, security teams can correlate vulnerabilities with asset criticality, exposure, threat intelligence, and live security activity. This correlation enables risk-based prioritization, faster remediation, and stronger protection against active threats.
Ransomware is no longer a niche threat carried out by a handful of highly technical cybercriminals. Today, it operates as a mature, scalable business model that closely mirrors the structure and efficiency of legitimate software companies.
Rogue devices introduce hidden risk into otherwise secure environments. ArmorPoint’s rogue device detection continuously monitors network and agent telemetry to identify unauthorized or unmanaged devices as soon as they appear. By revealing blind spots such as personal laptops, unapproved IoT hardware, or malicious devices, organizations gain the visibility needed to respond quickly and reduce exposure before a threat escalates.
Security teams rely on tools like firewalls and EDR to identify suspicious behavior, enforce policies, and protect endpoints. But even with strong controls in place, organizations still face one persistent challenge: network blind spots.…
Security teams are trained to watch for suspicious logins, unusual network traffic, and alerts from security tools. But some of the earliest signs that something is wrong begin long before a SIEM rule fires.…
