The best approach to security is a proactive one, but nobody is perfect. What happens when a determined attacker finds their way into your network? How do you know where they have been, what they have seen, when they got in, and how they gained access? How do you prioritize remediation and confirm that the bad guys are out of your network? Incident responders, like ProCircular's Aaron Heikkila, are at the ready to swoop down and stop the attackers in their tracks!

Security Information & Event Management, or SIEM (pronounced "sim," with a silent "e"), is gaining a reputation outside of the cybersecurity community. Advertisements on YouTube and Hulu tout the product’s incomparable security and real-time effectiveness, but they struggle to convey what a SIEM really does. Technical security lingo tends to make non-technical people tune out, and trying to simplify the concept diminishes its value.

Here’s a quick one for all of the administrators and security practitioners. There’s no shortage of third-party programs designed to do remote desktop management and support. And while sure, many of them are secure, the ones we find in use most often are not. The reason being, they tend to be low or no cost solutions. Now, I’m not one to say that security should always be spendy, but let’s be honest, a lot of the time tools are an investment that management is not always willing to invest in. More often then not when we hit a business that is using VNC as their de facto remote management and support tool, the reason behind it is; “Well, it’s free, and we can shadow and control other machines with it for support calls.”
