Progress and Veeam experts emphasized why deploying a unified data security approach is crucial to your organization's cyber defenses. This blog summarizes the key points and takeaways of their discussion.

Our blog reveals why Progress Flowmon is an ideal choice for professionals who prioritize data integrity, accuracy and operational transparency.

Cybersecurity is one sector where extensive use of AI-enhanced solutions is common. But what does machine learning and AI entail? And how do they relate to other techniques we use in cybersecurity defense?

Progress Flowmon 12.4 addresses the challenges in understanding the need for faster and more efficient data analysis. At Progress, our primary focus is to provide accurate and thorough network data insights to our customers. As our customers' networks grow, the volume of telemetry data expands exponentially. This growth, while beneficial, brings with it the challenge of increasingly longer search times through vast amounts of data. Progress Flowmon 12.4 has implemented IP Indexing, as identifying the activity of an IP address on a network is one of the most common Flowmon use cases for network administrators and cybersecurity teams.  Additional details of what’s new and improved in 12.4 are available on the Flowmon release blog.

Our development teams continue to improve Progress Flowmon. The latest update takes the core Flowmon product to version 12.4, and our Anomaly Detection System (ADS) becomes release 12.4. For Flowmon 12.4, we want to highlight its newest capability: IP Indexing.

The cybersecurity sector has no shortage of acronyms. The terms Network Detection and Response (NDR), Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) are used frequently and often without explanation, as it’s assumed everyone knows what they mean.

IT professionals seek out solutions that provide in-depth visibility into their networks and streamline processes so they can more efficiently catch anomalies. A recent update to Progress Flowmon Anomaly Detection System (ADS) will address these common customer concerns. Read on for a closer look at how Flowmon ADS 12.3 improves your organization’s threat analyses and cybersecurity strategies.

Endpoint protection has long been fundamental to cybersecurity. But in today’s evolving and expanding digital landscape, with endpoints spanning a wide variety of devices, is traditional endpoint security enough? The ongoing frequency of successful cyberattacks suggests not. Cloud proliferation, remote work and expanding system access add to the challenge. Can you truly trust users to keep their devices secure amidst this shifting landscape? And can augmenting endpoint security with additional tools, like Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, enable reliable detection of threats? According to attack data and experience, your cybersecurity stack may require something extra. And that something is Network Detection and Response (NDR).

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats, cryptojacking has emerged as a stealthy and financially motivated attack method. In attacks of this type, cybercriminals hijack servers (or endpoint devices) to use the computing resources to “mine” cryptocurrencies. They get a financial benefit from this activity when they sell the newly minted currencies.
