Tech Terms Explained - NDR, MDR, XDR, EDR, SIEM and SOAR
The cybersecurity sector has no shortage of acronyms. The terms Network Detection and Response (NDR), Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) are used frequently and often without explanation, as it’s assumed everyone knows what they mean.
What’s New in Progress Flowmon ADS 12.3?
IT professionals seek out solutions that provide in-depth visibility into their networks and streamline processes so they can more efficiently catch anomalies. A recent update to Progress Flowmon Anomaly Detection System (ADS) will address these common customer concerns. Read on for a closer look at how Flowmon ADS 12.3 improves your organization’s threat analyses and cybersecurity strategies.
4 Reasons Why Your Business Needs Network Detection and Response Solutions
Endpoint protection has long been fundamental to cybersecurity. But in today’s evolving and expanding digital landscape, with endpoints spanning a wide variety of devices, is traditional endpoint security enough? The ongoing frequency of successful cyberattacks suggests not. Cloud proliferation, remote work and expanding system access add to the challenge. Can you truly trust users to keep their devices secure amidst this shifting landscape? And can augmenting endpoint security with additional tools, like Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, enable reliable detection of threats? According to attack data and experience, your cybersecurity stack may require something extra. And that something is Network Detection and Response (NDR).
Detecting Cryptojacking with Progress Flowmon
In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats, cryptojacking has emerged as a stealthy and financially motivated attack method. In attacks of this type, cybercriminals hijack servers (or endpoint devices) to use the computing resources to “mine” cryptocurrencies. They get a financial benefit from this activity when they sell the newly minted currencies.
After a Ransomware Infection – Enhancing Security for Your Infrastructure Against Further Intrusion
In a previous blog, we outlined the essential steps that organizations should take within the first two days after the detection of a ransomware attack. In this follow-up post, we’ll discuss what an organization should do after the initial response to reduce the risks of future attacks. We’ll also highlight how Progress Flowmon can support ongoing network monitoring, early detection of attacks and reduction of further damage.
The First 48 Hours of Ransomware Incident Response
The initial response to a ransomware attack is crucial for determining the damage in terms of downtime, costs, data loss and company reputation. The sooner you detect the activity associated with ransomware, the sooner you can slow its spread. From there, you can take remedial actions to significantly reduce the effects of the attack. In this blog, we’ll outline key steps organizations should take during the first 48 hours after a ransomware infection is detected. We’ll link to a recent Progress Flowmon webinar on the topic that also discusses how national recommendations and regulatory frameworks, such as NIST and NIS2, provide guidance on cyber responses. The webinar outlines how Flowmon solutions can help with early detection and response to ransomware attacks.
