As compliance managers, we often find ourselves in a struggle. Our responsibility is to uphold compliance standards but in order to achieve this, we need to “sell” the concept to the relevant stakeholders, inter alia the business teams and R&D. We’re put in the position of justifying required changes and processes and are thus mistakenly perceived as business “stoppers” and not enablers.

For your team to effectively respond to incidents, you need a shared, unambiguous incident definition so you can recognize when an incident has occurred and assign the appropriate severity.

You know what they say: you can’t fix what you can’t find. That’s what makes log management such a critical element in the DevOps process. Logging provides key information for software developers on the lookout for code errors. While working on their third startup in 2013, Chris Nguyen and Lee Liu realized that traditional log management was wholly inadequate for addressing data sprawl in the modern, cloud-native development stack.

These days, it is quite hard to find a person who does not use the Internet. Even older people have already got a web connection for communication and mastering the most popular apps. This makes the Net such a useful tool. However, certain dangers lay under this cross-functionality that can be avoided using Virtual Private Networks or VPNs for short.
