If you’re using containers to deploy your software, it is important to be aware of potential vulnerabilities within your container images. These may be introduced through dependencies in your built image, or perhaps through dependencies within the base image(s) used to build your image.

A firewall is a network security device or software that is used to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. Firewall Logs contain valuable information about network and security events. These logs are essential for security and infrastructure monitoring for enterprises. While this data is critical to securing enterprise networks, they are also one of the most voluminous data types security teams use to monitor and secure their networks.

Since its initial release in 2010, Elasticsearch has grown into the most popular enterprise search engine with use cases that range from web crawling and website search to application performance monitoring and security log analytics. But despite its widespread adoption and success, Elasticsearch does have some notable disadvantages that you should consider - especially if you’re envisioning a high-scale deployment with a large amount of daily ingestion.

In Part 1 of this blog series, I proposed that closed-loop orchestration (CLO) is a data management problem. Data extends beyond your medical history, social media, and other PII in the digital world. Configurations, inventories, and monitoring systems are based on managing, interpreting, and actioning data. CLO is a workflow about manipulating the data around the target environments. Even the policies and constraints need to be expressed as data.

It seems like these days there’s a new exciting framework or dev tool launched every week. The challenge is that even if you’re ready and able to use new products, your existing tooling might not be up to the task; it could be months or years before your developer tools add support for the burgeoning platforms you want to use.

This blog is a summary of Frost & Sullivan's extensive report on Cortex as the recipient of the Technology Innovation Leadership award for North American Internal Developer Portals. Read the full report here.

Introduction Azure Files snapshots are a crucial component in the landscape of cloud computing, offering robust solutions for data protection and management. These snapshots capture the exact state of SMB file shares at distinct moments, providing a critical safety net against data loss and corruption. Understanding their functionality and proper utilization is essential for any organization leveraging Azure cloud services for file storage and management.

Gartner®, in its latest Market Guide for Network Automation Platforms released November 2023, followed the company’s track record of research that provides recommendations to industry leaders, showcases market trends, and shares next-level automation insights.

Power Automate is a cloud-based service that Microsoft provides as part of Power Platform. It allows users to create automated workflows integrating various applications and services. It is designed for a wide range of users, from business professionals looking to automate daily tasks to developers who can create more complex automation. A trigger initiates a Flow in Power Automate followed by predefined actions. Each execution of the Flow creates a run.

Every developer wants universally applicable tools for their embedded development. However, hardware (processor type) and software (RTOS) architecture can limit the choice, making it a decision for the second-best rather than the best tool – even if you are in the mainstream. This is one of the reasons why Software Development Kits (SDKs) are becoming increasingly popular – even more so if they are easy to use and deploy.
