In 2014, the pressing need for a comprehensive cybersecurity solution to the vulnerabilities faced by nearly 900 electric cooperatives was acknowledged by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Understanding that the integration of Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions in electric cooperatives has become increasingly important in recent years, Léargas was driven to create a versatile and cost-effective platform. As these cooperatives digitally transform and adopt modern technologies, they also become more vulnerable to sophisticated cyber threats. These potential attacks not only pose a risk to the integrity of the cooperatives’ data, but also threaten the stability of the electrical grid that powers our communities.

The threat landscape is continually evolving and growing increasingly complex, therefore organizations must take a proactive approach to cybersecurity. Traditional security tools such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and antivirus software are no longer sufficient to protect against advanced threats. Inline security detections and threat hunting are two approaches that can help organizations to better detect and respond to security threats.

As organizations increasingly rely on cloud-based services such as Office 365 for their productivity and collaboration needs, it’s critical to understand the importance of correlating logs from both the cloud service and the endpoint devices. This correlation can provide a comprehensive view of the activities taking place within the organization and help ensure the security and compliance of sensitive information, no matter where the endpoint might be.
One of the main benefits of correlating Office 365 and Endpoint Security logs is that it can help identify suspicious or malicious activity. For example, if a user’s endpoint device shows signs of a security breach, geographically-impossible authentication attempts, or attacks such as a virus or malware event, the corresponding Office 365 logs can provide valuable information on what data may have been accessed or exfiltrated.
The Léargas Security platform automatically correlates the data from the sources into single searches and alerts.
Additionally, correlating Office 365 and Endpoint Security logs can also help organizations identify compliance violations, such as unauthorized access to sensitive information. With the right tools, organizations can quickly identify when a user has taken actions that violate their data protection policies, such as downloading confidential data onto a personal device or sending sensitive information to an unauthorized email recipient.
Moreover, correlating logs can help improve incident response time. In the event of a security incident, having a comprehensive view of the activities that took place can help organizations quickly identify the source and scope of the problem, enabling them to respond and resolve the issue more efficiently.
Here are the Top 10 reasons for automatically correlating Office 365 and Endpoint Security logs:
Finally, correlating Office 365 and Endpoint Security logs can also provide valuable insights for auditing and compliance reporting. Organizations can use the data from these logs to demonstrate their compliance with industry regulations and standards, such as GDPR and HIPAA, by providing a detailed view of their security and privacy practices.
