Leading a Security Operations Center has never been more challenging. SOC managers today juggle expanding attack surfaces, remote workforces, cloud migrations, and an explosion of security tools. All while trying to keep pace with increasingly automated attacks. Every day feels like a mix of firefighting and long-term planning that never fully materializes. Under this pressure, it’s easy to […] The post #1 Gap in Your SOCs Is Probably Not What You Think appeared first on Cyber Security News.

If your tools say a link is clean, do you fully trust it? Most SOC leaders don’t anymore, and for good reason. Phishing has become polished, quiet, and built to blend into everyday traffic. It slips through filters, lands in inboxes unnoticed, and only reveals its intent after a user interacts. By the time the real behavior appears, your defenses have […] The post Phishing Breaks More Defenses Than Ever. Here’s the Fix appeared first on Cyber Security News.

Your SOC generates thousands of alerts daily. Many of them are low-priority, repetitive, or false positives. On paper, this looks like a technical problem. In reality, it’s a business problem. Every Alert Costs When analysts are buried under thousands of notifications, they spend more time triaging noise than responding to real incidents. The result: slower reaction times, missed threats, staff burnout, and ballooning operational costs. Every wasted minute translates into a weaker security posture, potential financial loss, and reduced return on your security investments. Alert overload doesn’t just impact your SOC. It slows down […] The post How to Solve Alert Overload in Your SOC appeared first on Cyber Security News.

Cybersecurity leaders now face an impossible equation: you need intelligence that’s comprehensive enough to protect your organisation, fresh enough to stop emerging threats, and manageable enough that your team doesn’t drown in false positives. Most solutions force you to choose. Some prove you don’t have to. The Intelligence Paradox: Too Much and Never Enough Every CISO knows the struggle. Deploy too few threat feeds, […] The post Why your Business Need Live Threat Intel from 15k SOCs appeared first on Cyber Security News.

Security teams drown in alerts but starve for insight. Blocklists catch the obvious. SIEM correlation gives clues. But only context reveals what an alert really means, and what you should do about it. Every SOC sees thousands of signals: odd domains, masquerading binaries, strange persistence artifacts. On their own, these indicators mean almost nothing. A suspicious […] The post Beat Threats with Context: 5 Actionable Tactics for SOC Analysts appeared first on Cyber Security News.

QR codes used to be harmless, now they’re one of the sneakiest ways attackers slip past defenses. Quishing, or QR code phishing, hides malicious links inside innocent-looking images that filters can’t read. One scan, and the victim lands on a fake login page designed to steal credentials or trigger a download; often from a mobile device completely outside your SOC’s visibility. […] The post SOCs Have a Quishing Problem: Here’s How to Solve It appeared first on Cyber Security News.

When your alert queue seems endless, it might feel like threat intelligence is more of a curse than a blessing. But taking the right approach to it will help increase detection rates without stretching resources thin. Top-performing SOC analysts don’t necessarily go through more alerts than others; they simply know where to look for reliable […] The post How SOCs Detect More Threats without Alert Overload appeared first on Cyber Security News.

There’s a moment, right after a new alert hits, when the room holds its breath. Everyone waits for context; is it real, is it noise, is it already too late? In those seconds, the difference between an average SOC and a great one is obvious. Some scramble for answers; others move in sync, sharing context […] The post 5 Must-Follow Rules of Every Elite SOC: CISO’s Checklist appeared first on Cyber Security News.

Security teams are constantly on the move. Alerts never stop coming in, workloads keep piling up, and the pressure to react fast can wear anyone down. Add long investigations and a maze of tools on top of that, and burnout becomes almost inevitable. Still, it doesn’t have to be this way. With the right approach, […] The post 3 Steps to Beat Burnout in Your SOC and Solve Cyber Incidents Faster appeared first on Cyber Security News.

Phishing campaigns are getting harder to spot, sometimes hiding in files you’d never suspect. ANY.RUN’s cybersecurity analysts recently uncovered one such case: a malicious SVG disguised as a PDF, hosted on a legitimate domain and packed with hidden redirects. By mid-September, it scaled into a full spam wave with Microsoft-themed lures. Let’s look at how […] The post Malicious SVGs in Phishing Campaigns: How to Detect Hidden Redirects and Payloads appeared first on Cyber Security News.
