At Elastic Security, we approach the challenge of threat detection with various methods. Traditionally, we have focused on machine learning models and behaviors. These two methods are powerful because they can detect never-before-seen malware. Historically, we’ve felt that signatures are too easily evaded, but we also recognize that ease of evasion is only one of many factors to consider.

Recently we announced in our blog post, "The OpenTelemetry Tracing Specification Reaches 1.0.0!," that OpenTelemetry tracing specifications reached v1.0.0 — offering long-term stability guarantees for the tracing portion of the OpenTelemetry clients. Today we’re excited to share that the first of the language-specific APIs and SDKs have reached v1.0.0 starting with OpenTelemetry Java and OpenTelemetry .NET.

Have you ever used the term bandwidth? Probably. Have you ever used the term network throughput? Maybe. Have you used them interchangeably? Most likely. So let’s see where we get these mixed up. Namely, let’s look at the key differences between network throughput and bandwidth. And while we’re at it, let’s cover the fundamentals of throughput and how to measure it, so you can keep your network flowing efficiently and cleanly.

Cloud-native and serverless come hand in hand. One of the initial motivations to move business workflows to the cloud was related to cutting costs related to provisioning infrastructure and elasticity that on-demand allocation of resources is offering.

One of the advantages that Ubuntu brings to the cloud equation is improving an organization’s ability to run in multiple clouds. Running containers on top of Ubuntu further increases portability. Mist is an open-source multi-cloud management platform that helps teams centrally manage and control their Ubuntu instances across many different cloud environments and/or bare metal. This removes some of the operational and financial barriers to running applications in multiple clouds.

To keep up with today’s competitive landscape and with the new normal induced by the pandemic, organizations must modernize their ventures, instigate innovation and be more agile. However, the process of replacing legacy systems isn’t precisely as agile as one thinks it would be. It takes time, and that’s something your company doesn’t have. You need solutions that consolidate years of transformation into mere months.

More and more organizations are embracing digital evolution to improve processes and increase productivity.
