UserCentric: Redefining online recruiting for doctors and nurses

How do you match health care practitioners to the right job? When The Postgraduate Medical Council of Victoria (PMCV) had to recruit doctors and nurses for the healthcare match system it administers, they needed an efficient solution that would take into account a high number of complex variables while remaining agile and, most importantly, accurate. At UserCentric, we devised a solution that gives PMCV administrators control over the entire recruiting experience.

Ransomware, interrupted: Sodinokibi and the supply chain

Last month, the Elastic Security Protections Team prevented an attempted ransomware attack targeting an organization monitored by one of our customers, an IT Managed Service Provider (MSP). We analyzed the alerts that were generated after an adversary’s process injection attempts were prevented by Elastic Endpoint Security on several endpoints. Adversaries often attempt to inject their malicious code into a running process before encrypting and holding the victim’s data to ransom.

Tips for Modern NOCs - Alleviating Incident Routing Bottlenecks

Critical and sev1 incidents are always a priority, but what about those dozens and often hundreds of lower priority ones that often sit in a queue waiting for a first response engineer to get to them? Do you find that no matter how much effort your team puts into minimizing the number of queued incidents, their number always seems to grow? If this sounds familiar – this blog is for you.

Notes From The Road: Virtana Accelerates Time to Value for the Channel

I set out on the road to Boston a few weeks ago to meet with our ever-growing ecosystem of partners and customers. I’m always looking to have interesting conversations in the field that will help drive our go-to-market strategy and engage our partners in driving value to their own bottom line. My energy was uniquely high during this trip due to our recent rebrand from “Virtual Instruments” to “Virtana” and the launch of our latest product offering, CloudWisdom.

How to Go Serverless With AWS Lambda

Once upon a time, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, servers had to be built. A development team requested an environment for their code to run in, and a system administrator or infrastructure engineer plugged in a server and spent hours or days getting it ready to run code. Oh, and by the way, that was only one server of many required to run a web application—and this only happened after budgets were decided and forms were filled out.

Aiming Higher - Fighting Work Stress & Taking on Bigger Goals

I wouldn’t wish even upon my worst enemy the task of writing a company’s mission statement or brand slogan. Nowadays customers respond most to companies that convey higher-level, altruistic values in their messaging—especially in the world of enterprise tech, or Silicon Valley startups. You can’t write something like “we’re here to make lots of money and dominate the market”—that’s just not going to fly.

Android 10 - Everything You Need to Know

If you own a Google Pixel smartphone (or one of a couple of other models) Android’s latest update is finally here. If you own another model of Android smartphone then you’ll have to wait a little longer, but that’s nom de rigueur for the operating system. Dubbed Android 10, the new update has abandoned the usual confectionary based naming scheme in favour of a straight numbering system – possibly following Windows’ and Apple’s lead.

Reflecting on re:Invent - The Human Side of Serverless

Another day of re:Invent is over and it’s all been amazing and overwhelming. And yes, the medals really do spin. It was a huge honor to be named an AWS Serverless Hero a few weeks ago. As I prepare for more conference talks in the upcoming months, I’m reflecting on what it means to be granted this honor despite having only written my first lines of code earlier this year.
