  • Gartner IDPS Magic Quadrant - Alert Logic Challenger

Gartner 2018 IDPS Magic Quadrant: Alert Logic Places as Challenger

The Gartner Magic Quadrant’s Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS) category is relatively new. But it’s not without its rough beginnings. In fact, Gartner predicted the demise of the entire precursor to this category back in 2003 because, at the time, intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and intrusion detection systems (IDS) were just not delivering the additional layer of [...]

  • Arctic Wolf SOC-as-a-Service

SOC-as-a-Service: The Arctic Wolf Approach to Cybersecurity

As an SMB, you likely have limited security staff. Your lean IT team does it’s best to provide coverage, but they’re already overwhelmed.

  • network traffic log

Check Point Logging vs Traditional Network Traffic Log Analyzers

Most firewalls enable you to export a syslog file of filtered TCP/IP traffic, but many of them don’t include the tools such as a network traffic log to index and analyze firewall events. To get the benefits of a quality log analyzer, organizations are forced to either purchase these tools separately or build them in-house using open source [...]

  • Questions to Ask During Antivirus PoC

Questions to Ask During Your Next Antivirus PoC

It’s expected that, when you purchase new hardware, the machine will come with antivirus software already installed. But this “complimentary” inclusion has the tendency to lull some end users into a false sense of security, leading them to believe that they don’t need to implement additional protection. Protecting your critical data should go well beyond relying on baseline, [...]
