Zero Trust is more than a buzzword in today’s cybersecurity playbook, it’s a strategic imperative. Federal agencies, defense operations, and civilian infrastructure providers are all under mounting pressure to deploy Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) frameworks that are not only compliant but truly effective. But there’s a problem: Zero Trust can only succeed if it’s built on real-time, actionable insight. That means eliminating blind spots.

URLs) receive spiky traffic:. The Healthchecks open-source project includes a fully functional, tested and type-annotated ping handler written in Python. On self-hosted Healthchecks instances, when you send an HTTP request to a ping URL, a Django view collects and validates information from the request, then uses Django ORM to update a Check object in the database and insert a Ping object in the database. This approach is good for tens to low hundreds of requests per second, depending on hardware.

When I took on leading the Network Security Group (NSG) at Ivanti in October 2024, it was a bit like a homecoming for me. You see, I spent almost two decades overseeing the development of these products before moving on to other responsibilities at Ivanti. NSG is responsible for building and maintaining Ivanti Connect Secure, Policy Secure, and Neurons for ZTNA, among other solutions.

As UK public sector bodies, financial institutions, and enterprises accelerate cloud adoption, a pivotal question emerges: Who truly controls your data, and under which laws? With data breaches and regulatory scrutiny intensifying, storing data and workloads in a host country alone doesn't guarantee sovereignty. U.S.

This blog is based on the webinar, “Panel Discussion: Understanding the importance of GPUs for AI success”, you can watch the full recording by clicking here! Last week, we hosted a panel discussion surrounding the importance of GPUs for AI success that featured Kunal Kushwaha (Field CTO), Ben Norris (AI Engineer), and Kendall Miller (Strategic Business Development).

When you manage complex IT infrastructure, it becomes critical to use tooling to understand what’s happening across all of your systems in terms of performance, reliability, and compliance. Monitoring key indicators manually is simply no longer possible at that scale. Puppet has long been known as a solution for managing large environments and collecting a vast amount of data about your infrastructure, but accessing and visualizing that data in a meaningful way can be a challenge.

You know you’re bleeding money in the cloud. Maybe not everywhere, but enough to feel it. Your engineers know it too. You’ve got idle resources humming away, AI workloads scaling like wildfire, and nobody can quite explain why last month’s bill jumped by 17%. So, you bring up the idea of investing in a cloud cost optimization product. Cue the skeptical glance from your CFO.

Higher education institutions face unique cybersecurity challenges due to their complex networks, diverse user base and open academic environments. With thousands of students, staff and faculty members accessing resources from various locations and devices, universities must have visibility of what’s happening on their networks and robust and responsive cybersecurity protection to help safeguard them.

You rolled out a Java application that worked fine in development. Fast, clean, no errors. However, once it went into production, things began to change. Suddenly, the app feels slow. CPU usage climbs without warning. Some users start getting timeouts. You check the dashboards, but nothing jumps out. You look through the logs, but it's mostly noise. And then the questions start coming in - "Is the JVM the problem?" If you've been in that situation, you're not alone.

Kafka and Iceberg is a costly marriage of inconvenience. If you write code for a living you’ve probably heard of Apache Iceberg - but you might not realise the detour your Kafka events must take to get there. Typically a Kafka message written to an Iceberg table must take a journey via a connector, rack up transfer fees, and idle in a sidecar before it appears as an Iceberg table—hardly the friction‑free flow open table formats promise.
