Has your business delved into the exciting world of machine learning yet? This application of artificial intelligence (AI) has the ability to transform the way your business approaches data, from processing it to using it to inform your business practices and solve problems. What is machine learning? It can feel a little fuzzy or futuristic to those outside of IT, but machine learning has very tangible, right-now benefits. At its most basic, machine learning is the task of making computers more intelligent by teaching them to identify patterns in data. Instead of telling a computer how it should behave or what to do, it teaches computers to retrieve data, then it uses that data to learn and process new [...]

Azure Sentinel: New Microsoft SIEM almost free to trial 2019 is the year to invest in learning about Azure Sentinel. A key reason: during the Public Preview period Azure Sentinel services are provided at no extra charge. The economic motivation: popular cloud-based Enterprise SIEM services (Security information and event management) are among the most expensive and business critical cloud services large and high-value organizations contract for. For hybrid cloud customers already vested in Office 365 and Azure Active Directory, the integration of cloud identity management and security analytics with Azure Sentinel can be piloted with production data at virtually no charge. A finding could be that a pivot to the Microsoft SIEM would increase security, [...]

Azure Log Analytics: The Best ‘Syslog’ Destination

A common business requirement of many enterprises is the forwarding, collection, and analysis of syslog messages. In practical terms, this means central event log storage and processing for most all network gear except Microsoft Windows Server and applications which have the Event Log service. Using a syslog server as a collection point for logging activities allows all network logs to be stored in one place so they can be searched easily. A syslog collection facility is a must for network security because without a syslog server, logs remain on scattered devices and can never be reviewed or archived. All Linux and UNIX servers have syslog capability and most networking gear such as Cisco routers, Check Point [...]

Azure Site Recovery Overview Microsoft introduced Azure Site Recovery (ASR) in 2014. This Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service offering allows on-premisess workloads to be replicated into Azure, or another datacenter, to allow for rapid failover in the event of a major outage. At the time the service was narrowly focused on only those environments running Hyper-V and System Center Virtual Machine Manager. Since then the service has expanded to cover not only VMware environments, but has Azure region-to-region support in Preview. It has become the de facto method for migrating live workloads to Azure with minimal disruption. We’re going to review how to plan an ASR deployment for these newer capabilities. Key Concepts Azure Site Recovery works well in both [...]
