As we embarked on the journey of a new year, our dedicated team began by extending assistance to multiple clients, focusing on bolstering their data security infrastructure.
This collaborative effort ensures that our clients are equipped with robust measures to safeguard their valuable data against an ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. The team has also been working on a couple of updates:
SIEM Updates:
Introduced the "streaming event dynamic alerts" engine, a cutting-edge feature that revolutionizes the way our SIEM system detects and responds to security incidents. This engine provides real-time alerts, significantly reducing response times and enhancing the overall threat detection capabilities of our SIEM solution.
Implemented crucial improvements and bug fixes to NiFi syslog liveliness checks. These enhancements ensure the continuous and reliable flow of data, maintaining the integrity of our SIEM system's data processing capabilities.
Expanded the scope of SIEM by adding support for parsing AWS CloudTrail logs. This inclusion allows our clients to comprehensively monitor and analyze cloud-based activities within their security framework.
TUTELA Updates:
Enhanced the capabilities of our network scanner by implementing a batched approach to additional checks. This strategic enhancement prevents paused output and timeouts during scanning processes, resulting in a more seamless and efficient operation.
Improved the Apache HTTPD module enumerator to further refine the enumeration of modules. This upgrade enhances the precision and effectiveness of the enumeration process, contributing to an overall more reliable network security posture.
DNS Protect Updates:
Launched the "self-service portal" for CS-DNS users, a user-friendly platform designed to empower users with greater control over their DNS configurations. This portal streamlines the management process, providing users with enhanced flexibility and autonomy in configuring and customizing their DNS settings.
