How Deception Helps Level the Cybersecurity Playing Field

When comparing the goals and capabilities of attackers and defenders, it is a sobering reality that defenders need to be successful 100% of the time, whereas attackers only need to be successful once. The current playing field is dramatically imbalanced in favor of attackers. With technology developments transitioning to business realities - including BYOD, virtualization, insider threats, cloud computing, IoT, and dependency on third party partners - the attack surfaces available to cyber criminals have been vastly expanded. At the same time, defenders have been challenged to try and adapt legacy security tools and approaches to protect these ever more complex and loosely defined infrastructures.

whitePaper | September 27, 2022

Businesses once doubted the long-term benefits of moving their traditional, on-premises workloads to the cloud. But those doubts didn’t last long. The ROI of cloud migration was realized quickly and decisively. Businesses eagerly shifted their workloads to the cloud and realized the financial benefits of doing so.

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.
