Forrester analysts Allie Mellen and Jeff Pollard discuss their new research on the analyst experience, or AX. AX involves how security analysts perceive their interactions with security products, services and processes, and Mellen and Pollard say it can improve the SOC and security analyst workflow.
'Despite an arsenal of point products designed to block malware and threats and warn of vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers; it is no longer sufficient to rely on traditional defence techniques. While effective in some areas, these approaches are limited, with one of the most important gaps being the...
Integrating a complete and powerful SOC solution into your business will help
alleviate the risks and workload involved in monitoring and protecting your network.
When evaluating SOC options, whether in-house or outsourced, it is important to
understand that a SOC’s capabilities will determine the success of your...
A SOAR tool can orchestrate security actions (like
investigations, triage, response) across various security
products in a team’s arsenal, and automate otherwise
manual repetitive security tasks.
But not all SOAR tools are created equal. A best-ofbreed
SOAR solution will provide a set of capabilities
that can...
Investing in a Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platform is a wise
and highly strategic decision. After all, choosing the platform to build your security operation
center (SOC) on is arguably more important than choosing any point security product.
The SOAR platform you choose will become a...
Detecting threats doesn’t mark the end of a journey, but the start of a new one; a journey typically comprised of manual, time
consuming tasks, undertaken by an understaffed, overburdened team. The security talent capable of performing these tasks is
scarce, and hard to hire due to a tremendous skills shortage;...
Based on the results of an independent survey of IT and IT security
practitioners, this second annual report looks at the latest trends in
security operations centers (SOC), both positive and negative. Here
presents an unvarnished view of the current state of SOC performance and
effectiveness based on responses...
Does your SOC have a Triad Strategy that includes network-based detection? While the combination of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) along with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) improves security, a day in the life of a SOC analyst is still stressful due to a constant flood of misleading alerts....
"By emphasizing ease of use, deep analytics campabilities, built-in intelligence and search tools and rapid event triage, many SOC teams could hit the ground running quickly with Reveal(x)." - Dave Shackleford, SANS Institute Instructor
Learn how Reveal(x), cloud-native network detection and response for the hybrid...
No SOC has the resources or time to review and manage all its alerts manually. Overwhelmed security teams often ignore "low value" notifications for the sake of efficiency. This forced adjustment in workflow allows potential security threats to slip through the cracks.
In today's world of automation and AI, it's...
With technology-driven growth and innovation, protecting your environment becomes exponentially more challenging. A managed vulnerability assessment (MVA) partner adds tremendous value by helping you get in front of threats and closing the window of opportunity for attackers to exploit your security weaknesses. MVA...

Even after implementing SOAR, SIEM, IDPS and other technologies to improve security insights, companies still spend thousands of hours triaging alerts that are mostly false positives. Given the ever-increasing volume of alerts, SOC teams are forced into a "do what you can do" strategy that focuses on high-value, high...
Popular business applications are increasingly delivered through the cloud using a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, and cybersecurity applications are no exception. This is good news for small to midsize enterprises (SMEs) that don't have the budgets for in-house security technologies like a SIEM, and lack security...
