The World Cup is down to the final two, and so is Cortex's Coming Home Dashboard. In this Feature Friday, VP of Strategic Initiatives & Marketing Cristina Buenahora walks through an update on the Coming Home Dashboard she and Edward Spencer built a month ago, and the product update behind it. What she covers: Whether you're tracking brackets or tracking engineering maturity, the view's the same. Reach out to your CSM to try it.

The question isn't whether your proposal is good, it's whether it's more important than everything else competing for the same time, people, and budget. That's why the strongest proposals explain the impact, not just the work.

AI-powered ransomware is becoming a reality. Researchers recently demonstrated autonomous AI agents that can scout networks, steal credentials, and accelerate ransomware attacks. In this 60-second Zero Ticket Minute, learn what this means for cybersecurity, IT operations, and the future of agentic AI. Can AI also help stop these attacks? Watch to find out.

Microsoft patched 570 security vulnerabilities this Patch Tuesday — but every patch is also a public disclosure. The second those fixes drop, attackers know exactly where 570 weaknesses live. The only question that matters: can you find and patch them across your entire environment before someone exploits them? The speed of discovery is only increasing. Are you ready for the velocity of this new world? Let us know in the comments.

What does it really take to be "the calm in the storm" during a major incident? In this candid panel from PagerDuty on Tour, Chris Conklin (Technology Executive AIOPs, TD Bank) and Sam Brinley (CVP Enterprise Cloud Solution Architect & Engineer at New York Life) sit down with PagerDuty to talk through two decades of evolution in IT operations – from the "Wild West" of early network management to today's push into AI and agentic operations.

Alert fatigue is one of the biggest reasons critical incidents get missed. In this video, learn what alert fatigue is, why it happens, and how reducing noisy, repetitive notifications helps IT teams respond faster to the alerts that actually matter. Whether you're an IT operations professional, SRE, DevOps engineer, NOC analyst, or IT manager, this video explains alert fatigue in simple terms and shares practical ways to reduce alert noise, prioritize critical issues, and improve incident response.

Learn how to implement end to end monitoring and observability for Langflow using OpenTelemetry and SigNoz. In this video, we walk through instrumenting Langflow workflows, collecting traces, metrics, and logs, and visualizing everything in SigNoz to gain real time visibility into flow execution, LLM requests, tool calls, token usage, latency, failures, and performance bottlenecks. Langflow ships with built in OpenTelemetry support, making it easy to export telemetry to SigNoz with minimal configuration.

Cortex co-founder and CTO Ganesh Datta sits down with Dr. Martin Nettling, Senior Director of Engineering and Head of QA at Tealium, to explore the distinction between trusting people and having confidence in tools, and why that difference matters as AI becomes part of every engineering workflow.
