Puppet supports DoD continuous compliance and configuration management

Puppet Enterprise now offers Compliance Enforcement Modules aligned to DISA STIGs Benchmarks. The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) were built to safeguard our most critical security systems and data against a dynamic threat environment, yet monitoring and enforcing widely deployed infrastructure at the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) scale is a formidable task.

Import Datadog Traces Into Honeycomb

Getting existing telemetry into Honeycomb just got easier! With the release of the Datadog APM Receiver, you can send your Datadog traces to the OpenTelemetry Collector, and from there, to any OpenTelemetry-compatible endpoint. Often, evaluating a new tracing solution requires re-instrumenting your applications from the ground up in a new vendor’s tooling. It’s a pretty high bar to clear just to see if a solution is worth adopting.

How To Build A Case For Your Cloud Cost Optimization Opportunity

Identifying great business optimization opportunities is tougher than it seems. You often need to weigh the projected revenue and costs of taking a new path against the potential opportunity costs of not taking that path. Not only is this an apples-to-oranges comparison, but also a “what if” scenario riddled with variables. For instance, what if slashing costs makes the customer experience so much slower and more frustrating that sales decline and you wind up losing revenue?

The ongoing partnership between Papertrail and DigitalOcean led to the development of the Papertrail software as a service (SaaS) add-on in the DigitalOcean Marketplace. With the add-on, developers can add powerful, simple, and scalable Papertrail log management to their DigitalOcean infrastructure in seconds. In two earlier posts, we reviewed how the add-on helps teams simplify and centralize log management.

Improve Response in the Threat Detection Response Equation - Webinar

Operationalizing data at the same scale it’s collected is vital, yet 55% of organizations surveyed by analyst firm ESG said they don’t have the skills or the time to create automations or playbooks to manage all threat data at machine speed. @Enterprise Strategy Group ESG and @Torq will explore the landscape of EDR and XDR systems and show how teams can approach the challenges of operationalizing the threat data they provide with different approaches to automation.
