Identity Security, Reinvented: How Stellar Cyber ITDR Stops Credential-Based Attacks Before They Spread

In today’s hybrid world, identity is the new perimeter-and attackers know it. As traditional EDR and SIEM tools struggle to keep up, identity-focused attacks are rising fast. In fact, 70% of breaches now start with stolen credentials, according to Verizon’s 2024 and 2025 DBIR reports.

How Incident Response should be proactive, not reactive

Incident Response should be proactive, focusing on identifying and mitigating threats before they can cause damage not merely reacting once an attack has occurred. By leveraging threat intelligence, automation, and AI-driven analytics, organizations can detect patterns, anticipate adversary behavior, and contain incidents early in the kill chain.

Why NDR Alone Is No Longer Enough: The Case for an Open, Unified SecOps Platform Built on a Strong NDR Core

In today’s cybersecurity arms race, visibility is everything—but context is king. Network Detection and Response (NDR) has long been one of the most effective ways to detect lateral movement, ransomware behaviors, and post-compromise activity using deep packet inspection and behavioral analysis. But as threat actors become more evasive and distributed, relying solely on NDR as a point solution is no longer a viable strategy.

Why MSSPs Are Betting on AI—But Still Missing the Power of NDR

AI is dominating cybersecurity conversations—and MSSPs are rushing to capitalize. Whether through SIEM platforms with built-in ML, or EDRs with AI-assisted investigations, the promise is clear: faster detection, smarter triage, and better outcomes. But here’s the hard truth—AI alone won’t save you if it doesn’t have complete data.

Why MSSPs Need a Human-Augmented Autonomous SOC

For today’s MSSPs (Managed Security Service Providers), the game has changed. Rapidly increasing alert volumes, evolving threat vectors, and an unforgiving labor market are forcing providers to rethink how they deliver security services. While legacy SIEMs and first-generation automation promised relief, they often led to bloated toolchains and burned-out analysts.

Getting Actionable Intelligence with Stellar Cyber

The sheer volume of security alerts and data being generated by various sources like firewalls, servers, and endpoint devices is daunting. The challenge lies in sifting through this vast amount of information to identify genuine threats without throwing manual effort at it. Traditional security logs merely tell us what happened but do not provide insights on what’s happening now. The demand is for more actionable intelligence that focuses on different, more relevant data types rather than just more data.

In this episode, Subo Guha, chief product officer at Stellar Cyber, discusses the company’s efforts to turn raw security alerts and IT data into actionable intelligence at scale. Subo is joined by our panelists, Nick Espinosa, host of the nationally syndicated Deep Dive Radio Show, and Steve Zalewski, co-host of Defense in Depth.
