Join our market strategists as they discuss why large or unlimited cybersecurity budget isn't always a safety guarantee.

Mo' Money, Mo' Problems - Part Deux

Join Cribl’s Jackie McGuire and Ed Bailey as they discuss AI's current and future state. They will discuss the many challenges and vast promise of this promising way to increase productivity and solve problems. In addition, Jackie and Ed will also comment on SolarWinds’ response to the SEC charges alleging Solarwinds and its CISO defrauded investors by repeatedly misleading them about its cybersecurity posture.

Generative AI & Enterprise IT: Overhyped or Radically Underestimated?

Data silos created by normalized data stores creates a level of tool lock-in that not only limits choice for the customer but threatens business continuity in the case of big changes in tool support or questionable future support (as is the case with any large acquisition!).

IT and Security engineers need more control of their data to increase resilience and provide more options for analysis to make decisions faster with better data.

Join us to see what you need data independence so:
- You control ALL your data - no more data silos that force compromise between cost, flexibility, and control
- You gain the freedom to reduce and enrich your data if you choose - separate out signal from noise and enrich with context in real-time
- You gain the freedom to choose to store and replay long term in the most cost effective storage with the ability to recall data for later analysis

It's time for your data independence day.

Observability and Security in Focus: Strengthening Your Digital Defenses

Your SIEM is a powerful and essential investment, but it's not an analytics or data storage solution; it's a tool built for detection and response, not analytics and retention.

During this webinar, Jackie and Ed embark on a journey into the dark depths of SIEM strategies. They'll reveal why stashing away your data isn't enough; you need to be able to unearth it, and exorcise any data demons, when the time comes. 

During this webinar, you'll discover:
- Why data accessibility and searchability are the secret ingredients for a successful SIEM strategy
- How to disentangle your web of detection and analysis, while seamlessly managing data retention away from your security cauldron
- How to break free from the chains of vendor lock-in and technology limitations by adopting an open, flexible architecture

Cleaning the Skeletons Out of Your SIEM

When you create, collect, and store data, there comes a time when you need to find specific information. Think about it – when you're at your computer and need to locate a particular file, a tool like Grep is handy. So, why invest time and resources in collecting, centralizing, and indexing data just for a simple search?

But here's the twist – sometimes, collecting and indexing data is precisely what you need. While many effective data search tools exist, the fact that there are many tools doesn't mean there's no room for improvement.

Think of your toolbox at home – you probably have some excellent tools, but how often do you add a new one that offers something different? It typically doesn't replace anything; it just adds an extra capability. In this module, we'll explore your options for searching your data, helping you make the most of your data management toolbox.

A Deep Dive into Observability Search Tool Options

In this webinar, we present a compelling argument: It’s not about collecting ALL the data; it’s about collecting the RIGHT data. 

Legacy on-prem SIEM solutions and data lakes can hinder data collection for combating modern threats like ransomware. Join us as we discuss the game-changing power of combining Cribl observability pipelines with cloud-native SIEM, empowering you to route, filter, and mask log data strategically. Unleash the potential of improved insights, focusing solely on what truly matters. 

Our security experts from Cribl and Exabeam will delve into how to:

- Accelerate migration: Bid farewell to legacy SIEM and data lakes, embracing the future of cloud-native SIEM
- Optimize storage: Liberate valuable headroom, accommodating vast amounts of telemetry data
- Improve threat detection: Seamlessly integrate behavioral analytics, enriching your telemetry data for proactive threat detection

Speakers:
Michael Moreno, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Exabeam
Desi-Gavis Hughson, Mgr., Solutions Marketing, Cribl

Using Observability Pipelines to Optimize Cloud-Native SIEM

Tune into this session and gain insights from our Observability Professor, Perry Correll, as he dives into the concept of Observability Pipelines. Imagine the possibilities of consolidating data collection and processing for various event types, including metrics, logs, and traces. By unifying data collection, you can minimize the need for redundant agents, duplicate instrumentation, and multiple collection systems.

Mastering Observability Pipelines: Streamlining Data Collection and Analysis

Security teams are inundated with data from multiple sources in multiple formats, slowing down the ability to detect and respond to breaches and hunt for new threats. With multiple security tools deployed, sharing information across tools/teams becomes even more challenging.

Cribl simplifies and accelerates the process of ingesting, enriching and analyzing huge volumes of data, enabling investigators to identify specific data points and map them to corresponding indicators of compromise (IOCs).

Join this webinar and learn how to accelerate cybersecurity investigations by:
- Addressing timestamp challenges to ensure accurate investigative timelines and ensure accurate IP geolocation
- Reducing reliance on TAs and configuration files to minimize low-value, repetitive work for your team
- Enriching data with geoIP functions and known intelligence, giving investigators better, more relevant data to search through or simply pointing investigators in a better direction
- Enabling investigators to see the right formats and types of data faster, with the right context, in their preferred analytical tool

Accelerating Detection and Response During Cyber Events

Data is the foundation of our Observability journey. Often when talking about O11Y, you may think of the 3 pillars – metrics, traces, and logs. Within this module, Professor Correll will discuss these and the various categories of data that are both generated and gathered. Additionally, the module will examine how a single dataset can hold distinct levels of significance across various departments.

Unblocking Insights: Navigating the Depths of Observability Data

In this next module of our Observability Professor series, Perry dives into the realm of observability and focuses on the investigators – those who seek specific insights. Before digging into data collection, pipelines, and search mechanisms, we need to pinpoint exactly what we're searching for. This session will explore the "who" and the "why" behind these inquiries because, in most organizations, the data collected may be similar, but the emphasis placed on different aspects and the tools required can vary significantly. It's all about tailoring observability to your unique needs.
