The state of cybersecurity today is, in a word, catastrophic. Breaches have become endemic. Not only do they continue at dizzying rates, but they are actually increasing in frequency by the month. Why are things so bad? And why do businesses seem so helpless to make them better? Those are complicated questions without simple answers, of course – but I believe that a major part of the answer has to do with the fact that, at most organizations, security remains the domain of elite security teams.

As enterprise applications changed over time to serve different business needs and computer systems evolved from the monolithic architecture of mainframes into client-server and distributed systems, mechanisms for communications between different tiers of computer systems also had to develop.

Shipa is now for the first time in the Civo Marketplace. If you are unfamiliar with Civo, Civo is a Kubernetes-based cloud provider allowing for the rapid creation of Kubernetes clusters. The engineering efficiency and developer experience that Shipa brings can supercharge your Kubernetes experience on Civo. Now you can spin up a Shipa Control Plane e.g Shipa Self-Managed with a click of a button on Civo Cloud.

The increasing adoption of modern and cloud-native architectures is enabling enterprises with IT infrastructure that is more dynamic and ephemeral, and thus more resilient. This trend drives infrastructure monitoring tools to transition from simply “keeping the lights on” to providing advanced insights such as predictive analytics for infrastructure workload optimization. Infrastructure monitoring that was once art has become science.
