A patch management process lays out the steps associated with updating software and hardware. The typical patch management procedure includes things like prioritizing important patches, testing them, and eventually deploying them on an automated schedule — but with so many tools for managing patching in so many different kinds of setups, no two IT teams’ patch management processes look alike.

Incident response has always been a vital function within IT and the organizations it supports. However, as technology landscapes become increasingly hybrid and IT environments grow more complex, the need for a fast, efficient, and adaptive incident response system has never been greater.

When systems generate too many alerts, critical warnings can get lost in the chaos, leading to missed issues and delayed responses.

Smooth and efficient software deployment is critical to delivering high-quality applications that meet user expectations. Still, many software failures can be traced back to deployment issues. A well-structured deployment strategy can help DevOps & SREs teams prevent these errors, ensure system reliability, and enhance user satisfaction. This guide explores software deployment best practices, from planning and execution to post-deployment monitoring and incident management.

There’s good news in the US federal compliance space. The latest FedRAMP policy on the use of cryptographic modules relaxes some of the past restrictions that prevented organizations from applying critical security updates.

All but one of the kosli attest commands calculate the true/false compliance value for you based on their type. For example, kosli attest snyk can read the sarif output file produced by a snyk scan. The one that doesn’t is kosli attest generic which is “type-less”. It can attest anything, but Kosli cannot calculate a true/false compliance value for you. Often the tool you are using can generate the true/false value, which is then easy to capture.
