Sumo Logic unveils threat research and security detection unit

KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 (Bernama) -- Sumo Logic, the SaaS analytics platform to enable reliable and secure cloud-native applications has unveiled Sumo Logic Threat Labs, a threat research and security detection unit.

The Threat Labs unit is among the expanded services and tools from Sumo Logic to help customers modernise security operations and achieve greater cyber-resilience. Sumo Logic will showcase the functionality of its security intelligence solutions at the RSA Conference 2022 this week in San Francisco.

The Sumo Logic Threat Labs Unit is built to deliver a continuous stream of deep detection content, rapid response guidance, and actionable best practices to Sumo Logic security customers.

The team is staffed with domain experts with backgrounds in forensics, incident response, and red/blue teaming, as well as offensive and defensive cyber operations in the United States military and intelligence services.

Informed by deep human expertise, the Threat Labs Unit will also play a larger role in contributing advanced detection logic and best practices to the security community to help collectivise the defence.

Dave Frampton, VP/GM, Sumo Logic Security Business Unit said: “Our Threat Labs Unit will contribute actionable insights to our customers from leading-edge threat research, we will also share insight with the community to improve the industry's collective defence.

“Our deep and diverse practitioner expertise translates into advanced detection coverage delivered in a unique SaaS model which combines real-time global updates with deployment customisation for individual customers.”

As first reported in the media in April, the very first malware exploiting serverless computing was found in the wild creating crypto-miner instances in AWS Lambda. Called Denonia, this cutting-edge malware requires a holistic approach to detection, investigation, and response.

According to a statement, the Threat Labs Unit performed research and detection engineering on the Sumo Logic platform. The team then generated content for detection in Cloud SIEM, delivered analysis and hunting across the platform, and orchestrated the response in Cloud SOAR all in one workflow.
