Lightning Talk: How Policy-as-Code Experts Tackle Infrastructure Governance

As cloud infrastructure scales, governance, security, and compliance become more complex. Policy-as-Code provides a powerful solution by automating and enforcing policies consistently across Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). Join Omry, CTO of env0, and Anders, Lead Developer Advocate at Styra, for a 30-minute live lightning talk as they explore the role of policies in IaC, real-world enforcement examples, and the latest updates in Open Policy Agent (OPA). Learn why Rego is the preferred policy language, the challenges of maintaining policy frameworks, and how env0 simplifies governance and control.

The Benefits of Cloud Based Restaurant Management Software

The operations of restaurants undergo transformation through cloud based restaurant management software which delivers time-efficient scalable economical solutions. Cloud-based solutions operate differently from traditional systems because they do not need hardware maintenance on-site or on-premises servers. Through this technology the business leadership of restaurants can view their data through any location to gain live operational information.

Exciting Security Enhancements: Stronger, Smarter Access Tokens

Security has been our top priority over the last year, and we’re rolling out major improvements to account and project access tokens to bring Rollbar up to today’s security standards. Newly created tokens will be stored in an encrypted format, inaccessible via the UI or API after being created, and you will be able to manually encrypt your existing tokens. This change to token storage will give you more control over who can submit, access or update data in your system.

Everything You Need to Know About SIEM Logs

That moment when your production system goes down, and you're stuck piecing together logs from twenty different services? It’s frustrating and slow—especially when you need answers fast. SIEM logs help bring order to this chaos, giving you a structured way to track security events and system activity. But understanding how to use them effectively isn’t always straightforward, and most documentation can feel more complicated than the problem itself.

Calico eBPF Source IP Preservation: The Unexpected Story of High Tail Latency

The Calico eBPF data plane is your choice if latency is your primary concern. It was very disturbing that some benchmarking brought to our attention that eBPF had higher tail latency than iptables. The 99+% percentiles were higher by as much as a few hundred milliseconds. We did a whole bunch of experiments and we could not crack the nut until we observed that there are some occasional and unexpected TCP reset (RST) packets, but no connections were reset.

Automating API security tests in CI/CD for Java applications

API security testing is software testing performed on APIs. It is meant to identify vulnerabilities in API endpoint communication and access. In modern software development, API security is a crucial aspect that cannot be ignored. API security testing can now be automated in CI/CD, enabling early detection of vulnerabilities, maintaining security standards without slowing down development, and reducing human errors.

Leveraging Digital Transformation Strategies for a Competitive Edge

Indeed, change is the order of the day in organizations, especially in the current world that is characterized by high levels of competitive forces. New technologies seem to be revolutionizing the various sectors by improving how organizations operate as well as how they attend to their customers. Failure to adopt these advancements means that the organization's stand be pushed to the dustbins and a new organization that is more efficient takes over.
