Mar 4, 2026 By Veronika Smolik In Tigera

Fragmented tools and manual troubleshooting processes introduce operational complexity leading to the inevitable security gaps and extended downtime.

That demonstrates the increasing investor anxiety about AI technology developments that threaten to disrupt established cybersecurity frameworks.

Why Small Businesses Still Underestimate Endpoint Monitoring - And What MSPs Can Do About It

Mar 3, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Small businesses tend to think of cybersecurity in terms of firewalls and antivirus software. If those two boxes are checked, the assumption is that the network is protected. But the threat landscape has shifted dramatically in the last few years, and endpoints - laptops, desktops, mobile devices, even printers - have become the primary attack surface. Most small businesses haven't adjusted their defenses accordingly.

Last call on 398-day certificates

Mar 2, 2026 By Todd H. Gardner In CertKit
The bell rings. Last call for 398-day certificates is March 15. After that, every CA is required to cut you off at 200 days. Some have already stopped serving them early. The rest follow in two weeks. The irony of good certificate management is that when it works, nobody notices. No alerts, no outages, no 2am pages. The only time it gets attention is when something expires. Which means the teams doing it well rarely have the budget or the political capital to fix the process before it breaks.
