Until I came to StackState seven years ago, I was selling for Splunk. Everyone that has big data knows Splunk – big data, big data lakes, observability data, data analysis. Anything to do with data, Splunk is there! While at Splunk, I had the good fortune to sign up a reseller by the name of UMBRiO. Together, with Erik Witte and his team, we sold a multi-million dollar deal to a large, multi-national bank in the Netherlands that put our partnership on the map.
Ransomware threatens the loss of crucial data as well as financial loss. However, with the right knowledge and tools, you can take action to protect your business from the damaging effects of ransomware. In a 2022 Coveware Q1 ransomware report, the average ransom payment was $211,529 with an average of 26 days for downtime suffered.

Database security includes a variety of measures used to secure database management systems from vicious cyber-attacks and illegitimate use.

Even reducing the loading time of our website by a second can have a drastic impact on the traffic we get. It is vital for our websites to load quickly in this fast-moving world, where all the information we need can be found within a blink of an eye. One way to achieve it is using Gzip compression. The Gzip algorithm compresses and decompresses data in order to make websites load faster in a client's machine.
Role-based access control (RBAC), previously referred to as fine-grained access control (FGAC), is Grafana’s new authorization system. It was introduced as a beta feature in Grafana 8.0 release a year ago, and we’re now excited to promote it to general availability status. With the release of Grafana 9.0 during GrafanaCONline 2022, RBAC is enabled by default for all instances. (The easiest way to get started with Grafana 9?
