We're also examining Logarythm, which has some really cool features like Incident quick actions and playbooks.

Sentinel also has playbooks, and quick or auto actions based on alerting.

For something to do on a saturday or sunday if you have nothing else to do, you can always watch this talk by Matt King and Paul McMillan on "Securing Bare Metal Hardware at Scale":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEVVRkd-wPM
It goes into some of the ways we can try to guarentee that the runtime and attestation of firmware, at least in datacenters - and more importantly, the fact that if more of the vendors customers want it, there's a bigger chance we can actually have it.

It also contains a pretty great image that can be used as an avatar.

Lack of available extractions and availability of apps, their API was trash for the longest time and is still their biggest weakness, and it's really poor at scaling. Splunk's problem is that it requires ES and is a complete crapshoot when it comes to licensing these days, but at least it scales and has a variety of half-decent apps available.

Honestly I just have such a firm opinion on LogRhythm having had to develop for it and told my boss I'd sooner quit than deal with it when it came up as a joke.

The Security suite they showcased is fantastic looking, I hope its not just a farce. Most of the other engineers on my team are already sold, and we're bringing on a Managed Services team to help build/configure it.

That's because you saw the showcase. it looks like magical christmas-land because they need to.

my personal theory is that if the presenters can talk even a little bit of shop of how the product would fit without handing me a phamplet, then its worth looking at.

I've been burnt many times in my career over fancy demos only to be disappointed. The reason why log collection has gone so well at my company is because I used to sell the product we use when I worked as a consultant but otherwise it would have been dead in the water. Unless you got someone on your team who is well-versed in this sort of stuff, you're not going to get the fancy setup that the sales engineers will attempt to convince you'll get.

Splunk wouldn't play ball with us on licensing so we're moving to Humio which saves us a ton on licensing and allows us to take on staff to do the dashboard build out. Shoot me a PM if you want any info, your existing Splunk hardware probably won't get repurposed well due to the way to works under the hood.

On-prem licensing costs are already terrible, cloud was a complete non-starter. We're trying to ingest upwards of 2TB/day

Are people on those license levels just startups burning through cash on Splunk licenses because they don't know any better, or is there a valid reason to go down that route vs. bringing on some devs to dedicate their time to your logging platform?

probably because they have enough traffic spread out across a wide infrastructure (like among several countries) that trying to fit them together any other way for investigation would be days of time instead of going to one place and searching logs of all locations at once.

if its a multinational or large enough national company you are probably paying way more on other systems like salesforce.

Security folks want all the data. If you're over 10,000 heads, that's probably about 2TB+ data per day, and millions of dollars on the Splunk licenses.

Now the fun one is Splunk in Private Cloud. 700k+ in cloud resources a year plus 1+ mil in Splunk licence costs, and you've got an expensive rear end log system that hardly gets used.

We're doing about 8,000 endpoints, a few thousand servers, and around 12,000 users and we're just doing under 500 GB/day. We also went through a migration two-years ago where we dropped our Splunk Cloud for on-premise and that was because Cloud was a complete pile of poo poo to deal with. I want to get into a rant about Splunk licensing but I am not ready to talk about the bullshit we're dealing with right now.

What’s a good on-site password manager (preferably capable of storing extra information related to the accounts) that allows multiple log-in accounts? Access logging would be a nice feature too.

My company stores admin account information for servers that contain extremely valuable client data on Sharepoint. I’m not sure whether that is better or worse than it sounds to me, but it doesn’t sound good. That’s potentially millions in fines, even more from legal fees and damages from lawsuits and a destroyed reputation if someone gets on the Sharepoint and takes the credentials.

Granted you need an account that can access the servers hosting the VMs, but still.

You've probably already figured this out, but don't store the credentials you need to restore and gain emergency access to your password management system solely within that password management system.

keepass will do all of that except the logging part

Otherwise you're looking at deploying something like Secret Server.

Secret Server itself seems to have fallen out of favor, but I'm not familiar with any of it's alternatives for an on prem password vault.

We use 1pass for teams at my work.

We use PMP at my company. From my perspective as a user (I'm a server admin who needs to look up a shared credential now and then), it works great, but I never see the back end so I have no idea if it's a pain in the rear end or not. But I don't recall ever hearing the team that manages it complain about it, though.

Thanks. I thought keepass could only have one password for the DB, and that would invariably mean using one simple obvious password, which is a poo poo solution. They actually already have keepass set up for other stuff, so I might actually be able to sell them on that.

Odds are nothing actually comes of this, even if I point out that it could do huge amounts of damage to the company to not protect client data better than a goddamn Sharepoint page. But the company has a few new directors and a new-ish VP so it's worth a shot. At the least it's a small amount of effort to propose and might help my director think of me as having potential for something other than crap-tier support.

Got to build up that reputation so I have some leeway when I burn out and start slacking off and doing the absolute minimum :v:

Sorry, you are right, a keepass database can only have a single key.


Before we switched to 1pass we had a long randomly generated key that we all stored in our personal keepass databases that was used as the key for the shared database.
