Evaluating SIEM platforms to empower your SOC? IDG found that cloud-based SIEM users spend less, on average, to support their solution, than on-premises users with traditional deployments. "Traditional on-premises SIEM users reported higher costs across the board—including for licensing, maintenance, software, and staffing expenditures. They were also more likely to cite hidden costs associated with supporting their on-premises solutions, including: - Staffing/training SIEM analysts - Initial purchase/licensing costs - Integration of data sources" Co-managed or fully managed. Cost-effective. No data jailing. We SIEM differently. Interested? https://soteria.io/siem/

Billing Alarms for security use cases? Cryptomining and cryptojacking activities, especially in non-standard Regions for your accounts, are common incidents in the cloud. AWS recommends configuring Billing Alarms to identify potential attacks related to bitcoin mining or botnet instance deployments, and other unusual activity. AWS Cost Anomaly Detection detects anomalies using Machine Learning, simplifying efforts and eliminating the need to establish thresholds, configuring alerts and making root cause analysis about costs.

Generative AI and Large Language Model (LLM) efforts present unique challenges for organizations and security teams. As with any new or rapidly advancing technologies, adversaries and threat actors see a new attack surface and plenty of opportunities to enhance their strategies and techniques. The OWASP® Foundation has many resources to help organizations improve their defenses and better address the new threats that come from advances in Generative AI.

Contact information. Easy enough, right? This could be a quick win you may have overlooked in your AWS accounts. Alternate contact information includes the option for a Security contact to be entered. Ensure your Security contact info is up to date and that the mail address is monitored regularly. This allows AWS to alert you about abuse or potential security incidents in your infrastructure that AWS detected. If AWS detects an access key unintended disclosure on the web (such as a public code repository) they will notify you using the Security contacts. You can also configure this at the AWS Organization level, as announced in this post: https://lnkd.in/dtgWh4dU Be sure to check and update your Security contact info today.
