Jul 20, 2017 Threat Hunting? Ditch the SIEM

Threat hunting remains an undeveloped competency for far too many organizations. When surveyed, security professionals confess an overall lack of competency to detect and respond to advanced attacks that slip through their defenses. In my experience, many organizations still rely on alerts from a SIEM (among other prevention systems). Most security teams will painstakingly build models for indicators of compromise, receive alerts from their SIEM, and “do the best they can” to eliminate the intrusion. What are the results?

Jul 13, 2017 If You Are Not Looking at Risk Vulnerability, You Are Only Seeing Part of the Security Picture

How do you know if your security posture is where it needs to be? Most organizations look at standards, be it national standards, industry standards or their own corporate standards. They may also look at their industry’s best practices. But if you aren’t looking at your risk vulnerability, you are likely not looking at the entire spectrum of your network’s security posture.

FireMon Announces Risk Analyzer for Junos Space

By Josh Mayfield

Today at the Juniper Networks Global Partner Conference, FireMon was honored to be invited to participate in the keynote address. FireMon's President & CTO, Jody Brazil, joined Juniper's CEO Kevin Johnson to demonstrate FireMon Risk Analyzer running on Junos Space. We at FireMon are thrilled to be partnering so closely with Juniper. The Space platform represents a significant development in terms of network programability and extensibility. FireMon Risk Analyzer leverages the rich real time configuration data provided by Junos Space to maintain the most accurate and update network topology within Risk Analyzer. FireMon also announced that while the current release of Risk Analyzer supports hooks into space, the release of Junos Space 12.1 would see the release of Risk Analyzer running natively within Junos Space. FireMon and Juniper will continue to work closely together to create the most accurate and real time risk analysis and remediation tool for Juniper environments, with many more exciting developments to come throughout the year.

Josh Mayfield leads platform sales for Immediate Insight, FireMon's security analytics solution.

The Return on Security Analysis for FireMon’s Security Manager

IANS

READ NOW

Large Healthcare Provider

The customer sought a data analysis tool to correlate application data with network and security data to spot service-impacting anomalies. They did not have an accurate picture of interoperability between applications and the underlying infrastructure.

Major Airline

Following a merger with another airline, this customer was left managing a large number of firewalls and routers from different security vendors using a home-grown application.

National Insurance Provider

This national insurance provider had three problems to tackle regarding their firewall policies. First, the number of rules under management was overwhelming staff and processes. They needed to increase visibility and effectiveness of their firewall change request/workflow ticketing process. And they also need help maintaining compliance PCI DSS requirements.

Managed Service Provider

Each time this Global MSP engaged a new customer, they had to onboard the firewalls – sometimes hundreds per engagement – into their network. Part of the onboarding process required assessing the policies against internal best practices – a manual, line-by-line process that took an average of 16 hours/firewall and was extremely error-prone.
