Monad

This week's The Cybersecurity Pulse (TCP) is LIVE! 🥑 Key highlights include: 💰 Palo Alto Networks, Okta, CrowdStrike, Zscaler have all recently reported very strong quarterly results. SentinelOne reports today. Much to discuss! 🤺 Wiz launches Wiz Defend. Keep an eye out for James Berthoty's upcoming post on this one. Guaranteed to blow your mind 🔥 🧘🏽♂️ Monad launches Part 4 of their Data Engineering for Cybersecurity blog series. Data Transformations (Fun fact: I authored it and the first 3 parts and will be authoring the next 4-5 parts. It's one of my favorite parts of the job!) 🤖 SentinelOne launches AI-SPM capabilities in public beta. 🤯 Cyera raises $300M Series C @ $3B Valuation. Upwind Security raises $100M Series A @ $900M valuation. Next year will be wild on VC $ front me thinks. 🤝🏽 OCSF joins The Linux Foundation #Adoptionnnnn 🪄 ... all this and more on this week's TCP! Massive thank you to our sponsors Prophet Security and Reco for supporting my writing and weekly digests. These two companies are building products that give security teams super powers. Learn more about them in issue #67 or in the comments section!

Many of the challenges that SecOps + VM teams deal with can be directly attributed to poor data quality, lack of standardization, and limited means to filter out noise. Data transformation, when done right, solves for most of these issues. Check out Part 4 of Monad's #DataEngineering for #Cybersecurity blog series to see exactly how data transformation helps bring clarity in an increasingly noisy world 🧘🏽♂️ This was a fun one!

Part 4 of our Data Engineering for Cybersecurity blog series is LIVE! 🔥 🚒 In this one, Darwin Salazar, dives in on the power and critical need for data transformation in security. Key highlights include: ⚙ Key transform types and real-world examples including filtering, flattening, mutating, and normalizing ⚙ Most common methods for performing transformation in security ⚙ The role and emergence of Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) ⚙ In-flight v. In-store transformation and use cases for each Data transformation has the potential to make the job of SOCs, vulnerability management, GRC, AppSec, NetSec and InfraSec teams so much better. It's time we peel the curtain back and spark the conversation around it. Blog link in the comments. Check it out and let us know what you think! #cybersecurity #dataengineering #secops #grc

I've been a long time fan of Anvilogic's approach to SecOps and it's pretty much in-line with how we're thinking about things here at Monad so it was fun catching up w/ Alex Hurtado for this one! #SecDataOps

We're back for our next episode drop w/ Darwin Salazar, MSc for Cybersecurity Awareness Month! Tune in with Alex Hurtado as she dives into the intricacies of data streams + pipelines, log source prioritization, and so much more with Darwin.

Welcome to the team, Brent! We're excited to have you! 🎉

🚨 New blog post alert! 🚨

the last 6 months have been nothing short of a ride. I’ve had the privledge to talk to some really cool founders, CTOs, and engineers building in security, AI for sales, fitness and other industries, and also learn about how I can be a part of building things like these. i’ve been super excited spending time understanding and designing systems that are to be built for scale, working on the cloud, infrastructure with tech like K8s, Docker, writing backend services and learning how they scale, creating UIs, reading on distributed systems, and honestly just experimenting with all of it from my room. in the process of experimentation I also built https://lnkd.in/dE5baxm5, a real-time video transcoding solution built by writing services running on the cloud talking to each other to allow the real-time infrastructure to work. I’m also grateful to now be interning at Monad over the summer helping build for security teams, and I’m excited to continue learning and seeing what’s coming next!

And that's a wrap for this year's BSidesSF/RSAC! 🎉 There's no other professional community like the security community. Not in finance, not in healthcare, literally no other industry. It's easy to get caught up in the doom and gloom tied to the nature of the work that we do, but when you attend events like these, you can't help but feel optimistic. Huge shoutout to everyone securing the foundations of our society, building dope products, and being a force of nature for good in the security space. Few (non-biz) highlights include: 💠 Cyversity networking reception. 150+ attendees? The mission continues! 💠 Monad friends n' fam kickback 🦦 💠 The Cyber Creators lunch meetup orchestrated by the one and only Francis Odum 💠 Kicking it w/ my Security Weekly Productions fam Jeff Man, Samantha Estrella 💠 Meeting longtime friends IRL John Martinez, Kennedy Torkura, Chris Hughes, Timothy Peacock 💠 Ross Haleliuk's book signing w/ Snowflake + Anvilogic 💠 Wiz's booth concept. Dish detergent as K8s pods. Can't tell you how hard I tried get a pack 😔 💠 And of course, Alicia Keys live performance 👌🏽 Headed back home inspired and ready to continue building🔨 The next The Cybersecurity Pulse (TCP) issue will be out in the next couple of days and will include all (50+) key security product and emerging startup news announced at RSA. Stay tuned and subscribe if you haven't already! Link in comments ~ Have a great weekend y'all! 🏁 #RSAC #BSides #Cybersecurity

BSidesSF and Day 1 of RSAC have been a blast! 🥳 Kudos to Anvilogic, Snowflake, and Venture in Security for an amazing event last night! Over the weekend we hosted an intimate rooftop kickback with friends, partners and security curmedgeon Jeff Man (Curmudgeon, Cyber Legend, OG Hacker)! 🧙🏽♂️ We can’t wait to see what the rest of the week has in store! #rsac #bssides
