Is a Microsoft-heavy SaaS environment considered limited compared to other areas of cybersecurity?

cybersecurity www.reddit.com

Hey folks, I just wanted to get some perspective from the community. I'm currently working in a Microsoft 365 E5 environment (Entra, Intune, Defender, Sentinel, Purview, the whole stack). We're mostly SaaS only with no on-prem, no hybrid complexity, and no multi-vendor firewalls or IDS systems. Sometimes I wonder if being in this kind of environment is considered "limited" compared to professionals who are exposed to a wider mix of security domains such as network security, infrastructure, or...

Hello everyone! I want to improve get some opinions if I should improve my cyber security posture and am looking for suggestions. I currently have a public IP that I use for multiple public facing servers. It goes Public IP>Unifi Pro (CyberSecure Enhanced by Proofpoint and Cloudflare enabled)>Nginx Proxy (With SSL certs enabled)> Local IP. I have Wazuh clients installed on anything important and everything is running linux (I patch once a month if its not set for auto updates) Any suggestions?...

Towards Adapting Federated & Quantum Machine Learning for Network Intrusion Detection: A Survey

Towards Adapting Federated & Quantum Machine Learning for Network Intrusion Detection: A Survey

cs.CR updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org

arXiv:2509.21389v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This survey explores the integration of Federated Learning (FL) with Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS), with particular emphasis on deep learning and quantum machine learning approaches. FL enables collaborative model training across distributed devices while preserving data privacy-a critical requirement in network security contexts where sensitive traffic data cannot be centralized. Our comprehensive analysis systematically examines the...

Recommendations for better positioning within my career?

cybersecurity www.reddit.com

Hello, Quick intro: transitioned from retail after 10 years into an IT Help Desk role back in November 2024. Since then, I took over the "mundane" security stuff: investigating phishing emails, EDR log monitoring, network security monitoring with a DNS security platform, and whatever else may pop up. I have loved every minute of doing this and would love to specialize my skills and fit into a blue team role, with the end goal of becoming a threat hunter or incident response. I am typically the...

Should "trojans" that install other trojans be still considered trojans?

Should "trojans" that install other trojans be still considered trojans?

cybersecurity www.reddit.com

From my understanding - a virus is a program that spreads by infecting other files it can reach with itself, a worm is a program that spreads by exploiting network security vulnerabilities, and a trojan is a program that spreads by being run by the ignorant unsuspecting user. So, the other stuff that gets installed by a trojan doesn't especially meet the definition of a trojan? I think there should be a fourth category for those? submitted by /u/goth_elf [link] [comments]

Collaborative P4-SDN DDoS Detection and Mitigation with Early-Exit Neural Networks

Collaborative P4-SDN DDoS Detection and Mitigation with Early-Exit Neural Networks

cs.CR updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org

arXiv:2509.12291v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks pose a persistent threat to network security, requiring timely and scalable mitigation strategies. In this paper, we propose a novel collaborative architecture that integrates a P4-programmable data plane with an SDN control plane to enable real-time DDoS detection and response. At the core of our approach is a split early-exit neural network that performs partial inference in the data plane using a...

What's the most overlooked security control you've seen actually stop an attack?

cybersecurity www.reddit.com

I'm a sysadmin who spends most of my time patching, pushing out updates, and keeping the lights on. I always look to improve our system and network security but I'm curious, what smaller or less-hyped controls have made a real difference for you? Could be technical (like turning off something legacy) or procedural (like a simple policy change). What's the thing you've seen work that most people don't think about? submitted by /u/HedgehogRich9104 [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I'm a computer science student trying to get into cybersecurity. For my final project, I'm building a security monitoring platform in my home lab using a few VMs. I've heard a lot about combining Wazuh and Security Onion to get both host and network security monitoring. My basic understanding is that Wazuh handles the agents and host stuff, while Security Onion is the big brain for network logs and SIEM. I've been reading some old guides, and they say you should install Security...
