In an era where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing every sector, including the field of cybersecurity, mastering AI is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. As the adage goes, “AI won’t replace you, but someone using AI will.” At Stellar Cyber, we have embraced this philosophy, integrating AI into every facet of our Security Operations Center (SOC) solutions to maximize threat detection efficacy.

  Cybersecurity given:  attackers will never stop trying to find ways to exploit weaknesses and vulnerabilities anywhere in an organization to carry out an attack . Whether it’s an unpatched web server, an out-of-date application with known vulnerabilities, or a user who tends to click links first and read later, attackers focus on finding a way to gain a foothold into an environment that will ultimately lead to them carrying out their attack.  EDR Software , IT security teams and the vendors that support them continuously introduce new methods and technologies to make it harder for attackers to compromise an  IT environment  successfully, but it still happens frequently.  Now imagine an environment that was equally as critical to a business that did not get the same security focus as the IT environment. If an attacker compromised this environment, the company could suffer substantial losses, leading to catastrophic results. That is a scary thought, but for...

Cybersecurity  is the art and science of protecting computer systems and networks from the theft of electronic data, damage to hardware or software, or disruption of the services they provide. The world now relies heavily on computers and networks to facilitate movement of a vast range of goods and services, and  Cybersecurity  has become more and more important. Cyber criminals have developed many different forms of attacks, and they are becoming increasingly complex in the face of efforts to defeat them. Examples include: Denial-of-service attacks Eavesdropping Multi-vector attacks Phishing Spoofing Ransomware Direct-access attacks Backdoors Privilege escalation Keyloggers Viruses and Trojans Over time, the industry has developed many different types of weapons to combat  cyberattacks , from anti-virus programs to firewalls to endpoint security,  SIEM  and others. But to be effective, a  Cybersecurity  system should be able t...

  How to connect all the dots in a complex threat landscape Developers are showing more interest in using Machine Learning (ML) to automate threat-hunting. As the volume of  cyberattacks  grows,  security analysts  have become overwhelmed. To address this issue, developers are showing more interest in using  Machine Learning  (ML) to  automate  threat-hunting . In fact, researchers have tried to implement ML in  cybersecurity solutions  since the late 1980s, but progress has been slow. Today, ML is showing increasing promise with the advent of Big Data because the quality of information from which ML can learn is improving. However, there is much more to be done. Anomaly Detection – The Early Days When we talk about  security , we want a system that can separate good from bad, normal from abnormal. Therefore, it is quite natural to apply anomaly detection to security. We can trace the beginning of anomaly detection back to 1987...

The noise is real. Of that, we can agree. It started way back in history – whoops, wrong topic (shout out to all of you who know that lyric). Basic packet captures – the final arbiter of proof, started all this and has continued nonstop until this very day. Every  security analyst  worth his/her salt asks for the packet captures. Why do we have all this data? Do we need it all? With IOT today, my toaster can tell me how many toast points I have burned since 2019. Do we care? Should we care? To be honest, I’m not sure I want folks to know I struggle getting my toast just right :). Some of the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of all the security practitioners out there. How many times have we asked our partners, ”Can’t you just create a syslog and tell me everything I need to know?” We are part of the problem. The other part of the problem rests on our  security  partners (vendors). A few enterprising partners tell us, “Send me all your data. Worst case is we can ...
