Lately, there’s been a lot of noise surrounding Splunk’s growing security business, which, fueled by the Splunk App for Enterprise Security, accounted for a third of the company revenue, according to Haiyan Song, SVP of security markets at Splunk.

But despite all that we hear about Splunk, its acquisitions, its funding, its updates and integrations, it can be difficult to find out how to get started using the actual product.

Lucky for us, this is the information age, and there a lot of wonderful resources out there where users and organizations can host information (you guessed it) such as past webinars and presentations for public access. One such resource is YouTube.com, maybe you’ve heard of it.

But alas, the information age didn’t come with an abundance of free time, and maybe you don’t want to spend the precious free time you do have in a search bar, maybe you’d rather save that time for the real bar instead.

Lucky for you, we went spelunking (ha!) through the depths of Splunk’s’ YouTube channel, which boasts and impressive 270+ videos and pulled a few of the best resources for learning to use Splunk for security.

These six videos demonstrate how Splunk provides big data and Security Information and Event Manager (SIEM) use cases, and how the technology leverages search, correlation, investigation, and reporting capabilities for continuous monitoring and faster incident investigations. So sit back and enjoy! We hope you found these videos as useful as we did.

As cyber threats grow in frequency and ferocity, they are increasingly able to penetrate the network perimeter or develop from within. Network monitoring, network forensics and traffic analytics technology enables faster threat detection and bolsters the efficiency and effectiveness of incident response. Of concern however, experts say only a fraction of enterprises deploy this technology today due to complexity of tools and lack of budget.

In this webcast Rob McGovern, a senior technical product manager from LogRhythm and Darek Dabbs, CIO from Sera-Brynn, will discuss the ever-increasing need for network monitoring and showcase LogRhythm’s NetMon Freemium.

The average total cost of those breaches? $7.01 million, according to new research from the Ponemon institute.

But cybersecurity threats don’t just exist for businesses. While the news is full of reported attacks on large companies, cybersecurity issues affect organizations of all sizes. State and local governments face the same cyberthreats that major businesses do, and often with fewer resources.

In this 45-minute session, Michael Kaiser, Executive Director, National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA),Timothy Blute, Program Director Homeland Security and Public Safety Division, National Governor’s Association, Karen Jackson, Secretary of Technology, Commonwealth of Virginia,  and Daniel Stein, Program Director, Department of Homeland Security, discuss facing cyberthreats with limited resources, state and local governments need to be innovative and resourceful in solving their cybersecurity issues.

If you’re an information security professional, or even just interested in infosec, you’ve probably been hearing a lot about User Behavior Analytics, or UBA lately. Maybe you’ve even written it off as another buzzword, another acronym, another marketing abstraction to make the old seem new again.

Well that may be true sometimes, but in most cases User Behavior Analytics are a boon to cybersecurity systems. UBA is defined by Gartner as a cyber security process aimed at the detection of insider threats, targeted attacks, and financial fraud via the analysis of patterns of human behavior.

UBA solutions analysis large volumes of data about users on a network and then apply algorithms and statistical analysis to detect meaningful anomalies from those patterns, which could alert administrators to an imminent threat.

In these three videos, seasoned InfoSec experts explain exactly what UBA means to the modern enterprise, and the benefits it holds.

So what is UBA anyway? In this short video, experts from NuData Security concisely explain exactly what User Behavior Analytics are, and how they can help identify and stop risk before it affects security. The voice over is accompanied by an informative and effective animated illustration.

In this webcast David Gorton and Mark Settle from LogRhythm, discuss the elements of an effective user threat detection program. You’ll learn:

– Why detecting user threats is so important—and so difficult
– Different approaches to UBA
– The value of data from across your enterprise
– How to maximize the efficiency of your security analysts

Watch the webcast and learn how UBA can help you discover hidden user threats, reduce false-positives, and properly prioritize the most concerning threats.

In this 45-minute webinar recording Veriato COO Mike Tierney explains the benefits of User Behavior Analytics for enterprises big and small.

The number of attacks on organization’s’ IT infrastructure is growing exponentially. There were over 800 data breaches in 2016, and at an average cost of $3.79 million, according to research from the Ponemon Institute. That’s a lot of damages.  In particular, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to identify unknown threats. This problem requires the ability to store more data and better tools to analyze the data.

The talk covers limitations of current Hadoop eco-system components in handling security (Authentication, Authorization, Auditing) in multi-tenant, multi-application environments. Then it proposes how we can use Apache Ranger and HDFS super-user connections to enforce correct HDFS authorization policies and achieve the required auditing.
