From an IT pro’s perspective, the future of networking technology in 2026 is a mixed bag of potential and security risk. New wireless tech, agentic AI, and the increased distribution of networks are enabling new use cases and helping automate toil, but they also create new attack surfaces and risk profiles. In this article, we’ll take a look at the ten network security trends we’re most excited about in 2026 and provide key insights about what each one means for IT and MSP teams.

This article explains how to integrate metrics from Prometheus into Icinga checks using the check_prometheus plugin. There can be multiple reasons why this could be desired: Maybe you have different teams with their own monitoring systems, and you need to bridge the gap, or you want to perform queries that are just better expressed in Prometheus than in plain Icinga check plugins. The latter can be the case if you want to aggregate data from multiple sources or you want to take historic data into account.

In the previous post, we looked at what happens after detection; when incidents stop being purely technical problems and become human ones, with cognitive load as the real constraint.

Your domain is more than a URL- it’s the control plane for how people (and machines) reach your website, apps, and inbox. When something breaks at the domain layer, the symptoms look “random” (site intermittently down, emails bouncing, logins failing), but the root cause is often predictable: misconfigurations, weak authentication, or degraded DNS performance. A domain health check is the fastest way to surface those issues before customers do.

There is a satisfaction in building things yourself. It is the same psychological hook that powers the endless stream of DIY renovation videos on your social media feeds. You watch a sixty-second clip of someone transforming a pile of lumber into a custom coffee table, and it looks ingenious, cost-effective, and uniquely tailored to their needs. It triggers a powerful "why buy when I can build?" mindset.
