What's New with Flowmon ADS 12 and outlook ahead?

Flowmon ADS 12 is here and ready to alert you faster than traditional NDR tools that only rely on blacklist with known malicious domains. With its latest release, Flowmon ADS 12 brings detection of anomalous behavior on the network and allows users to easily tune the detection. And that’s not all! Flowmon ADS 12 also enables you to lower the count of false-positives and decreases the time required to investigate detected events.

Building a Culture of Security: Practical Tips to Spot a Phish

Technologies exist to limit and spot the number of phishing emails that come into your business. Still, humans are the last line of defense against social engineering attacks like this at the end of the day. At some point, you're going to "be beat" as an employer or MSP. Instead of locking everything down and slowing business communications, staff from the c-suite on down need to be equipped to identify phishing emails, so the worst happens in a training environment and not the real thing.

New in Grafana Enterprise Metrics 2.0: Cross-tenant alerting and recording rules

On the heels of launching our new open source TSDB Grafana Mimir, we are excited to introduce Grafana Enterprise Metrics 2.0. GEM 2.0 is built on top of Grafana Mimir 2.0, our easy-to-operate, high-scale database which we’ve shown can handle upwards of 1 billion active series. That means that GEM 2.0 inherits all of the highlights of Mimir, including easy deployment, native multi-tenancy, high availability, durable long-term metrics storage, and exceptional query performance.

Expert Series: Large MSP Was First to Upgrade to DX UIM 20.4

A NoSQL database provides a mechanism for data storage and retrieval, without using the tabular relations associated with relational databases. Originally referred to as "non-SQL" or "non-relational" databases, NoSQL databases are increasingly used in big data and real-time web application environments. NoSQL systems are also sometimes called “Not only SQL” to emphasize that they may support SQL-like query languages or sit alongside SQL databases in polyglot-persistent architectures.

Upgrading vs Migrating - How Atlassian Scaled Developer Efficiency in One Week

With millions of monthly active users across Bitbucket and Jira, Atlassian relied heavily on the real-time telemetry they got from their open source instance of Sentry. However, because it took the equivalent of two full-time engineers to maintain their out-of-date instance, Atlassian started to explore paths to upgrade or migrate to SaaS, as the risk of things breaking increased with each new release.

Automatically Add IP Addresses to a Penalty Box in Cloudflare with Torq

Good security may come from strong defenses, but strong security comes from a good offense. This is especially true for network security, where minutes can make the difference between a breach and a near miss. For example, if an unknown IP address triggers an alert for suspicious or abusive behavior, the faster you can isolate and block that address, the less likely it is that the person or entity at the other end can do damage.

How to Use OpenTelemetry to Troubleshoot a Serverless Environment with StackState

Losing track of communication between applications or code has become a problem with the tech world growing more into supporting Serverless cloud architectures and allowing the developer to maintain, upgrade and update these services. One might say that services and code are becoming more loosely coupled, allowing code to run and execute in silos. Let's take an AWS Lambda function as an example.
