Default to serverless for AI agents, then let production data decide what moves

Oct 29, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
Serverless should be the first execution model teams evaluate for AI agent workloads. Many agents spend much of their lifetime waiting, and always-on compute forces teams to pay for every idle minute. In a study of more than 35,000 production coding-agent sessions, the median session ran LLM or tool calls for only 20% of its lifetime. The rest of the time, it sat idle between steps, with its sandbox still allocated.

Trace voice agents with Datadog Agent Observability

Oct 29, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
A voice agent can return the right words and still deliver a poor experience. It might leave a caller in silence, speak over them, or stop midway through a response. A transcript may look correct even when the audio the user heard was delayed, incomplete, or different from the text on screen. These problems are difficult to diagnose from text traces alone. Voice conversations also involve more than a single request and response.

Detect when your AI agent copies a self-replicating prompt injection

Oct 29, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
In September 2026, OpenAI reported finding self-replicating prompt injections. These attacks hide instructions in content an AI agent retrieves, directing it to take unauthorized actions and copy those instructions into emails, files, or messages. Copied instructions can then expose other agents or later sessions to the same attack, giving it the potential to spread like a computer worm.

FortiGate, PAN-OS and Zscaler dashboards: get firewall logs into the fields they read

Oct 29, 2026 By Logit.io Team In Logit.io
FortiGate, PAN-OS and Zscaler now each have a six-dashboard pack in the Dashboard Library, live on every Logs stack. If your firewall logs already arrive as parsed module fields, the Library pre-selects the matching pack. If they don't, it won't, even when the firewall has been sending syslog for years. This post is about that gap: which parsed fields each pack reads, the Filebeat module settings that produce them, and the API checks that tell you whether the dashboards will fill before you install them.

What Is Real-Time Agent Assist, and How Does It Cut Escalation Time?

Oct 29, 2026 By Zack Austin In Resolve
When a ticket reaches an experienced technician, the issue is supposed to be closer to resolution. Too often, the escalation starts the investigation again. The technician reads the history, checks what L1 attempted, opens the CMDB, searches past incidents, and pulls logs. The fix itself may take two minutes, but reconstructing the situation can take far longer. Real-time agent assist targets that gap.

Why web application security needs a multi-layered approach

Oct 29, 2026 By Lily Bennett In Console Connect
The recent PHP security emergency has highlighted how vulnerabilities in widely used web technologies can quickly become a significant cybersecurity concern. It is also a reminder that protecting internet-facing applications requires more than keeping software up to date. Organisations need a layered security strategy to protect applications, maintain availability and mitigate malicious traffic.

How to Plan a Team Celebration Without Creating Social Pressure

How to Plan a Team Celebration Without Creating Social Pressure

Oct 29, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
A good team celebration should feel like something employees want to attend, not another obligation quietly added to the working week. Whether you're marking a successful year, a big project or an important company milestone, bringing people together can be a brilliant way to recognise effort and strengthen relationships. The difficulty begins when "Would you like to come?" starts sounding suspiciously like "We'll notice if you don't." People have different responsibilities, personalities and ideas of fun, so the most successful celebrations tend to leave plenty of room for choice.

How Global IT Teams Can Translate DOCX Change-Management Documents Without Breaking Their Structure

Oct 29, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
A planned infrastructure change may involve engineers, service managers, security reviewers and regional support teams. When these people work in different languages, the change record must communicate the same implementation steps, risks and rollback conditions to everyone. A vague or misplaced instruction can delay approval and create confusion during the maintenance window.
