Static analysis tools examine software’s source code without running the program. Learn how to use these tools to measure code quality during the early stages of development.

The digital workplace has evolved dramatically over the past decade, both in terms of the increased reliance on technology for daily operations and the complexity of that technology. In order to manage an improve the digital workplace, service desk teams need more than just a comprehensive view of their IT environments — they need to be able to analyze that data in real-time to make faster, more continuously effective decisions. Enter: digital workplace observability.

SD-WAN and SASE both build on traditional network models, such as those used to connect a company’s offices. While the two models share some features and advantages, they have different structures and approaches. In the simplest terms, an SD-WAN inspects and routes data more efficiently, while a SASE combines networking and security functions into a single service. Here’s what you need to know.

The best part about patching in N-able N-central is the ability to fully automate the process, but even if that is accomplished correctly there is still a need to have the right amount of sensitivity of patch monitoring in place. I have always monitored patches in terms of age, I did so with WSUS v3 (15 years ago) and have always done so in N-central.

As you likely be all too aware, there is a Microsoft Outlook zero-day vulnerability listed under CVE-2023-23397. With the increased attacks on Outlook this month, Microsoft has pushed out fixes for about 80 Windows flaws. More information on some of those patches can be found in my colleague Lewis Pope’s March 2023 Patch Tuesday blog. Lewis was also kind enough to send over the remediation script for both N-able N-central and N-able N-sight.

What’s up!? My name is Mikaela Caron, I’m an iOS Engineer at Lickability, and also a freelance developer, GitKraken Ambassador, and content creator. I make content on YouTube, Instagram, and Mastodon / Twitter about iOS development and freelancing. I also organize a monthly online meetup called iOS Dev Happy Hour. I wrote this article to explain the benefits of having a profile README, how to create your own, and show a few examples of public profiles.

In an article a few months ago, my colleague covered the functionality within eG Enterprise that ensures secure and traceable audit trails for both users and admins of eG Enterprise allowing automated auditing and reporting for regulatory compliance and security, see Auditing Capabilities in IT Monitoring Tools | eG Innovations. Today, I will follow from this article and cover how eG Enterprise also controls and audits the execution of Remote Control Actions and scripts.

Cloud has become the de-facto standard for new application development. Kubernetes solves many problems of modern-day cloud infrastructure. It has made microservices-based distributed software systems possible, enabling organizations to provide on-demand scaling. But at the same time, Kubernetes has also increased operational complexity. In simple terms, Kubernetes is a container orchestration tool. Container environments are dynamic and ephemeral.

IPv6 was developed in the late 1990s as a successor to IPv4 in response to widespread concerns about the growth of the Internet and its potential impact on the existing IPv4 address protocol, in particular potential address exhaustion. It was assumed that after some time as a dual-stack solution, we would phase out IPv4 entirely. Almost twenty-five years later, however, we are approaching full-scale depletion of IPv4 addresses, in part because the adoption of IPv6 is still lagging.

As we all know, team collaboration can sometimes be a bit complicated. Especially when different teams in the organization strive to achieve their own individual goals. This is where new organizational practices, such as DevOps and DevSecOps, have paved the path for us to work together and achieve our mutual goals. Take a look at these three trying to make it work… Triple Therapy for your Dev, Sec AND Ops Teams.
