What could we takeaway from today's CrowdStrike + Microsoft outage? Here are a couple of tips from 2 of Cyberse's experts: 1. You don't need to be "the first to patch"! For companies with release management teams, for all system releases/updates, follow a 2-hour delay before deploying from dev/test to prod. 2. Always learn from these lessons. Cybersecurity is complicated and there will always be surprises. How to refine processes depends on your company, but doing so will help avoid (or at least lessen) the next case.

How do you compare SIEM products?  Selecting the right Security Information Event Management (SIEM) is hard, especially with recent shifts in the SIEM product landscape.

Last week, in partnership w/ Play Secure Limited, we hosted a dynamic tabletop to explore "what to do if your cybersecurity vendor gets acquired?"   The 2 biggest takeaways: 1.) Cost is the #1 consideration. CISOs must understand business risk to nearly the same extent of CFOs… plus, run technical product evaluations, drive consensus/buy-in, and negotiate w/ vendors 2.) Early planning prevents painful politics. Cybersecurity M&As are happening more frequently- an early (even if informal) conversation can be helpful to be more proactive and prevent internal politics from getting nasty   PlaySecure makes cybersecurity more fun; a vital role in making the cybersecurity industry better and more accessible!   #cybersecurity #gamification #corporatefun

Making sense of cybersecurity is hard. Seventy percent of CISOs use over ten cybersecurity solutions to secure their businesses and every company is constrained in the budget, time, and talent pool to keep up with the evolving cybersecurity landscape. Today, it’s difficult for buyers to: · Cut through the noisy sales & marketing (how was everyone’s time at RSA? 😊) · Find solutions that actually deliver on promised capabilities - fit to your company’s needs · Understand both the business and technical insights to inform decisions Cyberse is built by cybersecurity practitioners to simplify cybersecurity and make it more accessible to everyone. For those who have some experience, the website may afford you the answers you need. For those who have none, close to none, or who just feel safer with an expert opinion, our advisors will clear up the confusion and offer transparent, comprehensive solutions from the buyer’s perspective. Start here. We are here to help.

🔍 Platform vs. Standalone Solutions: Tailoring Cybersecurity to Fit Your Business We understand that choosing the right cybersecurity solution is critical. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide whether a platform or standalone solution is better suited for your company’s needs: 🌐 Platform Solutions: Integrated Coverage: Ideal for businesses seeking comprehensive protection across multiple vectors, e.g., Palo Alto Networks or CrowdStrike Cost-Effective in Long Run: Generally lower total cost of ownership due to economies of scale, but may be bundled with unneeded capabilities. Simplicity: Single dashboard management reduces complexity and operational overhead. Best For: Companies looking for an all-in-one solution to streamline operations and enhance security posture. 🛡️ Standalone Solutions: Specific Needs: Targeted protection focused on particular security concerns, e.g., Endpoint Security tools like CarbonBlack. Flexibility: Fairly flexible to integrate with existing systems, adaptable to changing needs. Cost Control: Manageable initial investment, pay for exactly what you need. Best For: Companies with unique requirements or those managing legacy systems. Other Key Considerations: Company Maturity: More established security programs might benefit from a portfolio of standalone and platform solutions to diversify their tooling and add further defense-in-depth. Risk Profile: Companies with sensitive data or high-risk exposure should consider platforms with demonstrable data security and compliance practices. Budget Constraints: Assess whether the upfront cost or long-term investment aligns with financial planning.
