In the intricate landscape of cybersecurity, the essential utility of Threat Hunting with Osquery in Kibana lies in enabling security teams to proactively and automatically analyze threats.

In this article, we will delve into why monitoring data sources in your organization is crucial and learn how to set up rules that will alert us when the transmission of logs from these sources stops.

After delving into everything related to Elastic Agent policies and integrations, which you can read about here, and in the previous article where we explored the integration of a remote team (Fortigate) through a collector, let's see what comes next.

In our continuous pursuit of optimizing data and event management, we continue our integrations using Elastic Agent. In our previous article, we demonstrated how to collect events from various logging channels in Windows systems, with a focus on “Windows Firewall” and the identification of “Windows events”.

Elastic Agent policies are a set of predefined configurations that determine what types of data should be collected and how they should be collected. This encompasses aspects like metrics, logs, and other relevant data for system monitoring and management.

Have you heard of Elastic Agent? If you're interested in efficient monitoring and management of your systems and devices, you're in the right place. In this article, I provide a comprehensive overview of what it is and how it works.

To conclude this series of publications on the 6 elements to consider when implementing a SOC, we proceed to present the one regarding to "Monitoring Systems".

As usual, this week we continue with the 6 elements to consider when implementing a SOC. Today it is the turn for the second-last item on our list, and it is the "necessary security control tools".

Continuing with "6 elements to consider when implementing a SOC", this week we are going to introduce element #4: "Infrastructure Environment".

On this occasion, it is time to talk about the third element that we have considered important to take into account when implementing a SOC: "Adequate staffing".

As everyone knows, cyber threats are constantly evolving, which has forced companies to implement an expert team capable of detecting, analyzing, responding, reporting, and preventing cybersecurity incidents. The cybersecurity operations center (SOC) is that body called upon to fulfill this important task.

Following up on the topic we started last week: "6 elements to consider when implementing a SOC", today we are going to take a closer look at the second element, which refers to the policies and procedures of a SOC.
