                                            Many of the technologies used to improve the security and efficiency of enterprises are also being used to attack them. Hackers are deploying machine learning and automation to increase the frequency and scope of cyberattacks, which requires agency leaders to continuously update their security posture. Essential and well-known functions for this are security information and event management (SIEM) and security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR). What’s less known is the differences among the many SIEM and SOAR products. Criteria to evaluate SIEM products include licensing costs, how much data they process, their alert features, and how easy they are to... ...read more...

                                                  XDR is a hot buzzword, with many in the cybersecurity industry trying to define it. In a fast-paced and self-aware look at our industry, GuidePoint Security Government Solutions will trace back where the term comes from and how it fits in the broader landscape of initiatives the DoD is trying to solve. We will look at different approaches to implementing XDR, focused on direct API integrations vs. agnostic automation-based solutions, and how each approach affects the implementation, functionality, and long-term management of XDR systems....

One challenge can be taking a cli script in vi that was used to collect device status information an exporting it to CSV format. You’ve obtained data from GitHub or even the codeshare portals that various device vendors have available for collaboration. So now all is well, right? But now you need to modify certain parameters of that code/script to add another output column, or associate IP addresses, ports, and names with enabled and disabled states of particular servers or services.

Applying the granularity of Privileged Access Management (PAM) to achieve zero trust objectives ensures all access is appropriate, managed, and documented, regardless of how the perimeter has been redefined. To stay agile, Defense agencies must implement PAM to enable Zero Trust, JADC2, ICAM and other mission critical agency initiatives.

Identity if not harnessed as a cyber power can become stagnant and dull. Rather than become an digital lethargy, if properly harnessed, the cyber power of identity can provide the digital sharp end of the spear for the joint force through integration to cyber threat response and insider threat mitigation. When the cyber power of identity is employed for risk reduction and mission agility via rapid governed attribute injection for digital system access (or denial), identity empowers the joint force for mission success.

The additional processing cycles can improve trust for data assets by expanding their accessibility. Improved search of the content through correlation statistics, sentiment analysis, entity recognition and summarization can be easily automated. Using Large Language Models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, this talk will explore the potential data engineering operationalization and its impact on the associated metadata management.

To address this looming threat, the White House issued a National Security Memorandum on Promoting United States Leadership in Quantum Computing While Mitigating Risks to Vulnerable Cryptographic Systems (NSM 10) in this May. The NSM 10 fact sheet states that “America must start the lengthy process of updating our IT infrastructure today to protect against this quantum computing threat tomorrow.” The memo continues by stressing that, “Central to this migration effort will be an emphasis on cryptographic agility, both... ...read more...

Transforming software delivery times from years to minutes requires significant change to our processes, policies, workforce, and technology. The Strategy challenged us to be bold…to lead the transformation of technology, process, and people in delivering resilient software capability at the speed of relevance.

Deploying microservices and data transformations on edge requires new ways to securely deploy microservices on heterogeneous devices in a large edge ecosystem. Additional cybersecurity vulnerabilities arise when the data transformation microservices consume and publish information from data streams distributed over the mesh. Specifically, there is a need to protect the data mesh from bad actors from eavesdropping on data streams, injecting information into data streams, taking data transformation microservices,... ...read more...

The Department of Defense is leveraging Cloud Service Providers (CSP) to embrace the “perimeterless” cybersecurity of a zero-trust architecture. Modern zero-trust architectures must be designed, deployed and operated in a manner that keeps pace with the ever-changing threat landscape. Security offerings face the perils of keeping pace with the threat or perishing as a viable solution. The composable architecture of the CSPs allows for flexibility and rapid innovation.

However, continuous breaches, data leaks, vulnerabilities, insider threats, and ATPs have shown that our previous methods were ineffective at stopping/deterring malicious adversaries. Upon the advent of Executive Order 14028, Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, the DoD has adopted Zero Trust (ZT), a paradigm shifting cybersecurity strategy that emphasizes data-centric security throughout the enterprise. To support the adoption and implementation of ZT throughout the DoD, the DoD CIO established the Zero Trust Portfolio Management Office (ZT PfMO) to act as the centralized... ...read more...
