Picture the scene – you’re a mobile mechanic helping a customer and you can’t log into your tablet. You’re on the side of the road at 11pm, and you just want to reset your password so you can finish up and send them home in the car you just fixed. The service desk is closed, so you go for the chatbot option.
While the world is getting more optimistic with the wave of vaccine options, we’re looking forward to introducing you to our latest news. We’re happy to say we managed to fulfill some of our last year’s promises and are still working on our plans and improving UptimeRobot.

Insider threats are becoming a growing concern across different industries. Most coverage goes to outside attacks, especially when it comes to big corporations and government agencies. However, internal security is something organizations need to take very seriously to avoid irreparable damages. Not many enterprises can afford internal threat detection programs. However, they can definitely adopt proactive measures to avoid them, especially when it comes to sensitive systems and data.
The HAProxy Enterprise WAF with support for ModSecurity rulesets protects your web applications from sophisticated, Layer 7 threats left unhandled by network firewalls. Data breaches. Loss of consumer confidence. An endless cycle of companies being compromised. Not just fly-by-night, sketchy websites either. Large companies—companies that you’d think would do better—are being caught without reliable security measures in place.
More and more, companies from small businesses to global enterprises are migrating or deploying workloads in public cloud environments. Typically, their goal is cost optimization, as public clouds can dramatically reduce on-premises infrastructure costs and corresponding maintenance labor costs. Instead of installing more servers, storage, and networking components in your own datacenter, public cloud environments allow you to deploy dynamic cloud resources, usually with a short to medium lifespan.
The SolarWinds exploits have been widely reported, fully covered, and basically as we would say in Aussie – Done to Death Mate. But some of the info got me thinking, especially this article from my buddies at Microsoft which gives some great background and flows for that how the attacks were actually working. I’ve been working with Ivanti Application Control – formerly AppSense Application Manager for over 17 years.

Many companies have adopted a multi-cloud environment for their services and many more plan to expand cloud usage in the future. As more VMs and workloads transition to public and private clouds, it is becoming clear that multi-cloud is becoming a standard or benchmark rather than something optional that businesses want to ‘try out’.
Once upon a time there was a small company in the south west of Germany that used an old check plugin for monitoring its network devices. But as their network got bigger and bigger over time, the plugin (written in Perl) became more greedy than ever before and swallowed all of the available resources. The CPUs were melting and the RAM was about to collapse. So a small team of creative software developers decided to take the fate of their company into their own hands.
