Threat Agent Library Helps Identify Information Security Risks

Our Intel IT Threat Assessment Group developed a unique, standardized threat agent library (TAL) that provides a consistent, up-to-date reference describing the human agents that pose threats to IT systems and other information assets. The TAL quickly helps risk management professionals (called risk managers in this paper) identify relevant threat agents and understand the importance of the threats. Threat information has historically been fragmented and sensationalized, with a lack of standard agent definitions. This made it difficult for risk managers to quickly and consistently assess risks from specific agents.

Security Operations Maturity Model

whitePaper | February 20, 2020

As the threat landscape continues to evolve, your cybersecurity efforts must follow suit. With your security operations center (SOC) at the core of your offense against threats, you must ensure that it can handle anything that comes its way. To be effective, you need to mature your SOC to stop threats early — before damage occurs. Whether your SOC is a virtual team of two to three or a 24x7 operation, maturing your security operations capabilities will help you achieve a faster mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR) to cyberthreats. This white paper explores LogRhythm’s Security Operations Maturity Model (SOMM), which explains how to measure the effectiveness of your security operations. Through the model, you can learn how to mature your security operations capabilities, improving your resilience to cyberthreats.

How to Reduce the Risk of Phishing and Ransomware

whitePaper | March 21, 2021

Cybersecurity challenges abound for organizations across the world. The tsunami of phishing attacks that threaten account compromise, data breaches and malware infection remains a critical threat to neutralize. Ransomware is a second critical threat, with a well-played ransomware attack capable of bringing an organization to a complete halt, and in some cases putting it out of business permanently (e.g., Travelex1 and Vastaamo2.

State Of Zero Trust in The Enterprise:Shift To Identity-Powered Security

whitePaper | October 27, 2022

Cybersecurity has changed. The attack surface has expanded, thanks to the rapid adoption of cloud applications and services, shift to remote work, and proliferation of mobile devices. Having enterprise systems, applications, and data in one location and relying on layers of security tools and controls to keep attackers out, is no longer sufficient when the bulk of data and workloads now live outside the traditional network. Attackers are also increasingly targeting credentials to appear as legitimate users.
