Over time, any given computer on your network will establish a pattern of systems it does and doesn’t talk to. If you can properly baseline that behaviour and detect when the computer deviates from normal activity you can produce critical early warnings of a potential incident.

In this webcast, LogRhythm’s senior technical product manager, Caitlin NoePayne, and principal sales engineer, Chris Martin, join Randy Franklin Smith, Windows Security subject matter expert, to discuss detecting computers on your network talking for the first time using Windows Security Events. They will also demonstrate LogRhythm behavioural analytics rules and case management features that help analysts follow up on suspicious activity alerts.

Learn how to:

• Configure your audit policy to generate relevant security events
• Establish baseline behaviour of the machines on your environment
• Monitor and detect traffic patterns to detect an attacker embedded in your network using Windows Security Events
• Speed up investigation and response with Security Automation and Orchestration

Watch now to learn how to use Windows Security Events and LogRhythm to detect when two computers on your network talk to each other for the first time.

Preventing attackers from gaining control of network endpoints is difficult. Your preventative controls might stop such an event, but defence-in-depth best practices recommend a multi-layered security approach to protect your organisation.

In this webcast, Seth Goldhammer, Director of Product Management at LogRhythm, joins Randy Franklin Smith, Windows Security subject matter expert, to discuss how to detect attackers in various stages of the Cyber Attack Lifecycle. The duo examines Windows and Windows Firewall events including:

* 4798—A user's local group membership was enumerated
* 4799—A security-enabled local group membership was enumerated
* 4627—Group membership information
* 6416—A new external device was recognised by the system

They also show how LogRhythm’s analytics can recognise progression along the Cyber Attack Lifecycle, while increasing risk scoring with each progression, and how LogRhythm can infer additional context about a user during analysis.

As technology advances, so does the threat landscape, with cyber criminals effectively exploiting weak points on an almost daily basis. When malware infiltrates an organisation’s first layer of defence, it can spread quickly throughout the network, exposing data and weakening security - and in most cases this happens faster than analysts or administrators have time to react to. Indeed, with reams of data being generated and transferred over networks, organisations are having a hard time monitoring everything, which means potential threats can easily go unnoticed.

Organisations need to rely on machines to detect and respond to threats more quickly and efficiently. Even enterprises with a dedicated security team that monitors the latest security threat trends and understands the blueprint of evolving attack vectors still need to continuously monitor all network activity. The sheer volume of processes, services and applications running on a corporate network is just too much for human beings to monitor alone. However, this doesn’t mean that human analysis is not important.

User and entity behavioural analytics (UEBA) is essential in keeping up with continuously evolving threats and making sense of anomalous network behaviour. Security approaches that utilise both machine learning and human analysis enable all threats to be analysed for effective detection and response, ensuring all data is accounted for and including the human element to help reduce the opportunities for false positives. To keep up with the ever-changing security landscape, companies need to integrate internal and external threat context in their environment by updating processing rules for operating systems, applications, and network devices in order to strengthen the accuracy of real-time machine analytics.

Today’s reality is that organisations will continue to be confronted by increasingly frequent and complex cyber threats. It’s not a matter of if your organisation will be compromised, but when.

The Threat Lifecycle Management Framework (TLM) is a series of aligned security operations capabilities. It begins with the ability to see broadly and deeply across your IT environment and ends with the ability to quickly mitigate and recover from security incidents. The result? A reduction in your mean time to detect and mean time to respond without adding staff to accomplish the job.

In this webcast, Chris Martin, LogRhythm security expert, will explain what TLM is and demonstrate how the end-to-end security workflow helps reduce your mean time to detect and respond to cyber threats.

You’ll learn:

• The definition and details of the TLM framework
• How TLM enables you to sort through the noise to highlight and investigate concerning incidents
• How TLM works to streamline processes through automated workflow
• Specific use cases TLM can address to prevent major data breaches

Register now to learn how to enhance your threat detection and response capabilities with LogRhythm and Threat Lifecycle Management (TLM).

Throughout 2017 organisations will continue to be confronted by increasingly frequent and complex cyber threats. It’s not a matter of if your organisation will be compromised, but when.

A traditional prevention-centric strategy naively assumes all threats can be blocked at the perimeter, which leaves you blind to the threats that do get in. Many organisations are shifting to a more balanced strategy including detection and response. Enter Threat Lifecycle Management (TLM) - your playbook for rapidly detecting and responding to cyber-attacks.

In this webcast, Seth Goldhammer, senior director of product management at LogRhythm, explains what TLM is, and demonstrates how the end-to-end security workflow helps reduce your mean time to detect and respond to cyber threats.

Research shows that 76% of companies suffered a data breach in 2016, so it’s now almost inevitable that hackers will gain access to your company and your sensitive data.

Security professionals are now looking to deal with breaches faster, to keep their company off the front page and with heavy GDPR fines on the horizon, they’re wise to do so.

Organisations are fearful of damaging data breaches but unsure of the best course of action to protect themselves from major cyber incidents. Whilst a large per cent of businesses focus on building up perimeter defences, not enough are concentrating on monitoring their own network to detect threats and mitigate them before significant damage is done.

Tune into this in-depth one-on-one interview to discover:

•More about the current threat landscape and the dangers to your organisation.

•How you can reduce the time to detect and respond to threats without adding staff to accomplish the job.
