The Life Cycle of Data, From Creation to Erasure

Data doesn't just exist - it moves through a predictable, high-stakes life cycle that shapes how securely and efficiently businesses operate.

Why IT Outsourcing Is Becoming a Must-Have for Modern Operations

There's a quiet shift happening inside many organizations.

Unfortunately the logs are not very searchable. You can’t easily type in a domain and find all associated certificates. At CertKit we’re building CT monitoring capabilities to notify our customers when a new certificate is issued.

A CISO's preview of open source and cybersecurity trends in 2026 and beyond

Open source has come a long way. Recently I was watching a keynote address by our founder, Mark Shuttleworth, in which he discussed his vision for Ubuntu to provide quality support and security maintenance across the broad open source ecosystem, and it made me reflect on how far the open source software (OSS) community has come. Indeed, when looking at today’s interoperable open source landscape, the fragmented, disconnected landscape of the past seems like another planet.

How to Automate Change Management Evidence using Kosli and ServiceNow

Are your deployments getting stuck waiting for approvals? Your code is ready. Your tests are green. But your ServiceNow change ticket is still holding up the release. In most organizations, this isn’t a people problem or a process problem. It’s an evidence problem. Every release has to prove that it met the required checks — tests, scans, reviews, and approvals. But when that proof isn’t instantly available, everything slows down.
