Combating Cybersecurity Challenges with Advanced Analytics

August 19, 2019

Cyber crimes and security threats have grown at an exponential rate in recent years, and the momentum is only growing. According to Juniper Research, over 146 billion records will be exposed through criminal data breaches from 2018 to 2023, growing at a rate of 22.5% per year.1 This builds on the astounding number of data breaches reported over the past few years. In a recent report from Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC), the number of breached customer records containing personally identifiable information (PII) skyrocketed by 126% from 2017 to 2018, with a staggering total of around 446 million records leaked.2 Significant 2018 breaches include those experienced by Facebook,3 Under Armour4 and Marriott International.

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.
