Organizations that want to do business with the Department of Defense are required to achieve CMMC compliance by the end of this year. Sumo Logic can serve as a tool to assist your organization in achieving CMMC compliance.

In the beginning, there was the Log – or to be a bit more precise, there were application logs. At least that's how it was in the early days of application development, when raw log data itself was more often than not the point where troubleshooting began.

Over the past decade, the way we build and deploy applications has changed dramatically. The explosion of public cloud providers enables us to deploy software without engaging in a drawn-out process to procure and set up infrastructure. Agile, DevOps, Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, and other changes to how we work have dramatically accelerated the speed with which we can get new applications and updates in front of our users.

Since 2010, it has been Sumo Logic’s mission to democratize machine data. Naturally, we tend to focus on the outcomes: reliable and secure applications and systems that are the engines of successful modern businesses. But to drive these outcomes, and before the spotlight-hogging analytics kick in, algorithms require data. And this is where the magic starts! Sensu has been working on championing a monitoring as code approach to building observability pipelines for a decade now.

The Sumo Logic team is pleased to introduce the general availability of Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM powered by AWS. This joint solution will empower CIOs, CISOs, security and IT leaders to solve modern and legacy security operations use cases for Enterprises of all sizes and maturity with deep and contextualized insights to reduce the time to detect and respond to threats.

I’m pleased to announce that Sumo Logic has finalized its acquisition of DFLabs S.p.A., a provider of security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) software.

Sumo Logic is excited to host “The Modern SOC Summit” from June 8–9, 2021. This summit is a two-day virtual event hosted by Sumo Logic that is bringing together CISOs, security and operations practitioners, innovators and business leaders to debate, discuss and share best practices on modernizing security operations for the rapidly evolving threat landscape, growing adoption of cloud-native solutions and future state of security.

Application monitoring is a well-established discipline that dates back decades and remains a pillar of software management strategies today. However, as software environments and architectures have evolved, monitoring techniques have needed to evolve along with them. That’s why many teams today rely on distributed tracing to glean insights that they can’t gather from application monitoring alone. Distributed tracing provides a deeper level of visibility into complex distributed environments than application monitoring can achieve.

It's one thing to detect a cyber attack. It's another to know what the attackers are trying to do, which tactics they are using, and what their next move is likely to be. Without that additional information, it's difficult to defend effectively against an attack. You can't reliably stop an attack if you are unable to put yourself in the mindset of the attackers. This is why threat intelligence plays a critical role in modern cybersecurity operations. Threat intelligence delivers the context about attackers' motives and methods that teams need to react as effectively as possible against threats to their IT resources. Keep reading for a primer on what threat intelligence means, why it's important, and what to consider when implementing a threat intelligence strategy.

As more companies migrate workloads to the public cloud, more security operations teams face the challenge of securing those environments. Although cloud providers make accessing the logging very easy, it is not always easy to digest the mountains of data they provide. One example of this is AWS CloudTrail logging. This service is extremely robust which can lead to quite a bit of noise with basic detections.

Security operations is now a critical business function tasked with securing digital transformation initiatives, to effectively mitigate evolving attacks and expanding attack surfaces, handle complexity and tool proliferation while teams are continuing to be virtual and distributed.

Telegraf is a server-based agent for collecting all kinds of metrics for further processing. It’s a piece of software that you can install anywhere in your infrastructure and it will read metrics from specified sources – typically application logs, events, or data outputs.
