Palo Alto Networks: Optimising Managed Detection and Response (MDR) with Automation
Amid the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, organisations are constantly challenged to ensure security. Conventional security methods are failing to keep up with the escalating volume and sophistication of attacks. By implementing Managed Detection and Response (MDR) with automation, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) can optimise workflows, augment analyst capabilities, and significantly enhance the organisation's overall cybersecurity defences.
Palo Alto Networks offers comprehensive MDR services, leveraging its threat intelligence and cutting-edge technology expertise. Unit 42, its esteemed threat intelligence team, is crucial in providing valuable insights into emerging threats and trends, empowering organisations to stay ahead of malicious actors.
In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, speaks to Ophir Karako, Software Engineer (Unit 42) at Palo Alto Networks, to discuss:

Appdome: Understanding the Impact of SolarWinds on DevSecOps Practices
The SolarWinds breach exposed vulnerabilities within DevSecOps practices, sending shockwaves through the tech world.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) indictment against SolarWinds further emphasised the gravity of the situation, alleging the company misled investors by failing to disclose these vulnerabilities and the subsequent breach adequately.
This lack of transparency raises crucial questions about accountability and risk management in the mobile app development landscape, pushing organisations to re-evaluate their DevSecOps practices and prioritise robust security measures throughout the entire development lifecycle.
In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Head of Podcast Production Paulina Rios Maya speaks to Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, and Tom Tovar, CEO and Co-Creator of Appdome, to discuss:
