Well, not one of my normal blog posts, but I hope some of you geeks out there will find this useful anyways. I will definitely use this post as a reference frequently.
I have been using various flavors of UNIX and their command lines from ksh to bash and zsh for over 25 years and there is always something new to learn to make me faster at the jobs I am doing. One tool that I keep using (despite my growing command of Excel), is VIM coupled with UNIX command line tools. It saves me hours and hours of work all the time.
Well, here are some new things I learned and want to remember from the Well, here are some new things I learned and want to remember from the art of command line github repo:

Last week I keynoted LogPoint’s customer conference with a talk about how to extract value from security data. Pretty much every company out there has tried to somehow leverage their log data to manage their infrastructure and protect their assets and information. The solution vendors have initially named the space log management and then security […]

The log management and security information management (SIEM) space have gone through a number of stages to arrive where they are today. I started mapping the space in the 1980’s when syslog entered the world. To make sense of the really busy diagram, the top shows the chronological timeline (not in equidistant notation!), the second […]
The post A Logging History Lesson – From syslogd(8) to XDR first appeared on Cyber Security - Strategy and Innovation.
We have been collecting data to drive security insights for over two decades. We call these tools log management solutions, SIMs (security information management), and XDRs (extended detection and response) platforms. Some companies have also built their own solutions on top of big data technologies. It’s been quite the journey. At the upcoming ThinkIn conference […]

Before diving into cyber security and how the industry is using AI at this point, let’s define the term AI first. Artificial Intelligence (AI), as the term is used today, is the overarching concept covering machine learning (supervised, including Deep Learning, and unsupervised), as well as other algorithmic approaches that are more than just simple […]

On a recent consulting engagement with Cynergy Partners, we needed to decipher the security product market to an investment firm that normally doesn’t invest in cyber security. One of the investor’s concerns was that a lot of cyber companies are short-lived businesses due to the threats changing so drastically quick. One day it’s ransomware X, […]

Asset management is one of the core components of many successful security programs. I am an advisor to Panaseer, a startup in the continuous compliance management space. I recently co-authored a blog post on my favorite security metric that is related to asset management: How many assets are in the environment? A simple number. A […]

It’s already early March and the year is in full swing. Covid is still raging and we have been seeing some crazy weather patterns, especially in the south of the United States. While snowed in here in Texas, I took some time to reflect on what’s driving cyber security spend and customer focus this year. […]

I recently wrote a post about the concept of the Data Lakehouse, which in some ways, brings components of what I outlined in the first post around my desires for a new database system to life. In this post, I am going to make an attempt to describe a roll-up of some recent big data […]
The post The Data Lakehouse Post 3 – Catching Up with The Latest Big Data Developments first appeared on Cyber Security - Strategy and Innovation.
In my previous blog post, I ranted a little about database technologies and threw a few thoughts out there on what I think a better data system would be able to do. In this post, I am going to talk a bit about the concept of the Data Lakehouse. The term ‘data lakehouse‘ has been […]
The post The Data Lakehouse Post 2 – The Data Lakehouse Itself first appeared on Cyber Security - Strategy and Innovation.
In 2015, I wrote a book about the Security Data Lake. At the time, the big data space was not as mature as today and especially the intersection of big data and security wasn’t a well understood area. Fast forward to today, people are talking about to the “Data Lakehouse“. A new concept that has […]
