VM Migration - What Happens to Your NSX Segments in Kubernetes?

Aug 5, 2026 By Veronika Smolik In Tigera
Planning a migration off NSX usually starts with a networking conversation. Segments, VLANs, routing topology and BGP peering are not things that map cleanly to Kubernetes-native constructs the way the NSX distributed firewall maps to Calico’s tiered microsegmentation. NSX virtualizes the network layer in ways that Kubernetes doesn’t replicate by default. There is no native concept of a Layer 2 segment or VLAN, for instance.

What are the Key Features and Evaluation Criteria for Vulnerability Assessment Tools?

Aug 5, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
How many findings from your last vulnerability scan have been verified as fixed? For most IT functions, the scan report is easy to produce, and the proof of closure takes far longer to assemble. That difference tends to surface at the worst possible moment, usually an audit or a post-incident review. Vulnerability assessment tools are meant to end that uncertainty. They inspect systems, match what they find against public vulnerability databases, and rank each weakness by how dangerous it is.

What Is SOC 2 Compliance? Requirements, Controls, and Evidence

Aug 5, 2026 By Ramya Shah In Motadata
Your largest prospect has asked for your SOC 2 report. The deal sits still until you produce one. Most teams handle the first half of SOC 2 compliance fine. They control access. They run backups. They put changes through approval before anything ships. The second half is what stops them, and that half is proof. Your policy says access gets reviewed every quarter. The auditor wants the dated review, the signature on it, and the same record from eight months ago.

How to Secure Cisco AnyConnect, Fortinet, and Palo Alto VPNs with RADIUS MFA

Aug 5, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
VPN is the first thing attackers test when they're trying to get inside a network. Not because VPN is technically weak - it's not - but because it's the front door, it's usually internet-facing, and in most organizations it asks for exactly one thing: a username and a password.

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing: Differences, Cadence, and Cost

Aug 4, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
What do you say when an auditor asks for evidence that your security controls hold, and all you can produce is a scan report from last month? A scan lists weaknesses. It says nothing about whether an attacker could chain three of them together and reach the customer database. Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing answer two different questions about the same environment. The first asks what is exposed right now. The second asks what someone with intent and skill could do with that exposure.

What Is the MITRE ATT&CK Framework? A Guide for IT Ops Teams

Aug 4, 2026 By Ramya Shah In Motadata
Most IT operations teams cannot say how much of the MITRE ATT&CK framework they already cover. The framework gets explained in the language of threat hunting and red teams. The parts that belong to infrastructure work are easy to miss. And then, coverage questions get answered with a guess. The mismatch costs time on both sides. Security asks for a coverage answer that ops has no clean way to produce. Yet the controls that stop a large share of those techniques already sit with your team.

Why QKD Is Gaining Attention in Critical Infrastructure Security

Aug 4, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
A power supply company has planned a renovation. Well, replacing the office furniture and appliances is not a hassle, but then changing the cryptography embedded in substations, control centers, field gateways, and decade-old operational technology requires different planning and execution. In most cases, these systems have been in service long after encryption protecting them has become questionable.

7 Business Messages That Need More Than a Send Confirmation

7 Business Messages That Need More Than a Send Confirmation

Aug 4, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Some business messages carry legal or financial weight, and knowing that the email left your outbox tells you very little about whether that weight actually landed. Delivery receipts confirm that a server accepted the message, which falls a long way short of confirming that the right person received it, opened it, or got hold of it inside the window a contract or a statute allows. When a disagreement surfaces eighteen months later, nobody asks whether you meant to send something. They ask what you can show about when it went out and who took it in.

Why Responsible Technology Use Matters

Aug 4, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Technology plays an integral role in our lives today. Technology is applied in communications, education, business, shopping, and various other tasks we undertake daily. The emergence of new forms of technology such as Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, and IoT has made life more comfortable, but at the same time, they present challenges including privacy concerns, cyberattacks, and the spread of misinformation, among others.
