Managers of MSSP cybersecurity teams face many challenges, including the growing number and complexity of threats, tight budgets, a shortage of security analysts, and overworked teams who are frustrated by high volumes of alerts. Analyst teams have struggled for years with the philosophy of using a dozen or more discrete security tools to hunt for […]

Originally posted in Almost every vendor, from email gateway companies to developers of threat intelligence platforms, is positioning themselves as an XDR player. But unfortunately, the noise around XDR makes it harder for buyers to find solutions that might be right for them or, more importantly, avoid ones that don’t meet their needs. Stellar Cyber

In this interview, we capture real-world experience and recommendations from an enterprise that implemented Stellar Cyber’s Open XDR platform. We talked with Jon Mayled, International IT and Security Director at PlastiPak Packaging, Inc., about what he learned during his implementation. SC: What is required to implement a successful XDR program? JM: Although I recommend

Cybersecurity protection lives on data from sensors and systems throughout the organization’s infrastructure. But data without any background or context only creates irrelevant noise that frustrates and distracts analysts. Without an integrated platform to correlate all that data, security teams become buried in an overwhelming amount of false alerts. XDR is specifically designed to incorporate
Keys to a Successful XDR Implementation Read More »
Cybersecurity systems are ripe for disruption. Over the years, individual tools have proliferated, each with its own data format, causing a deluge of disparate data. Also, there is a global shortage of skilled cybersecurity analysts who can evaluate that data (and they are very expensive if you can find them). Finally, and hackers are getting

For security vendors and those in the XDR market specifically, there is an architectural axis of build vs. integrate. On one end, you have “Build / Acquire Everything” – vendors that are vertically integrated and want to be an enterprise’s entire security stack. On the other end, you have “Integrate with Everything” – vendors that
Technical Approach To Universal EDR Read More »
In detection and response, bidirectional integrations between security products, let alone unidirectional integrations, are not enough. There needs to be true cohesion amongst the entire security stack; otherwise, security operators are left with piles of data and endless API endpoints to figure out how to wire together. This is more important with Endpoint Detection &

MSSPs all deal with a crushing number of alerts daily – but how are the most successful partners managing the influx? The MSSP industry has seen a significant increase in attacks on MSP and MSSP partners this year. This has led to several new attacks on everything from RMM tools to applications. We all deal

Network detection and response (NDR) has a long history, evolving out of network security and network traffic analysis (NTA). The historical definition of network security is to use a perimeter firewall and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to screen traffic coming into the network, but as IT technology and security technology have evolved due to modern

Security Event and Information Management platforms (SIEMs) collect data from security logs and in doing so are supposed to identify blind spots, reduce noise and alert fatigue, and simplify detection and response to complex cyberattacks. However, SIEMs have not lived up to these promises. Now, the new idea is XDR – what are its advantages,
SIEM, XDR, and the Evolution of Cybersecurity Infrastructure Read More »
Stellar Cyber’s Open XDR platform is about giving customers a choice in security tools, and this extends to EDR systems as well as NGFW, vulnerability management, identity management, SOAR and other solutions. EDR has been in the news lately because some EDR vendors have acquired log management companies to flesh out a solution for the
