DEX: How We Measure the Results of IT Actions

Every IT initiative has a clear purpose: to boost productivity, reduce failures, accelerate processes, or simply make things work better for people. Yet, many companies still make the mistake of implementing changes and improvements without measuring the real impact they have on employees' daily lives. That's the difference between acting in the dark and acting intelligently. Without clear metrics, IT may be investing time and money in solutions that, in practice, bring little benefit - or even harm performance. This is exactly where DEX (Digital Employee Experience) comes in.

Fortifying security for Ubuntu on Azure with Metadata Security Protocol (MSP)

We’re pleased to share a security enhancement for Ubuntu workloads on Microsoft Azure. In collaboration with Microsoft, Ubuntu now supports Azure’s Metadata Security Protocol (MSP)—a feature that hardens access to the Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) and WireServer. On Ubuntu, MSP is enabled by the azure-proxy-agent package, Canonical’s integration of Microsoft’s Guest Proxy Agent (GPA).

How SSL Certificate Monitoring Prevents Man-in-the-Middle Attacks

Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks remain one of the most dangerous cybersecurity threats. In these attacks, hackers secretly intercept and sometimes alter communication between two parties. Without proper encryption, sensitive data such as passwords, credit card details, and personal information becomes exposed. SSL/TLS certificates encrypt this communication, preventing unauthorized access. However, certificates can expire, become misconfigured, or become compromised, creating security gaps.

Why Security Must Include Cost Accountability In The Cloud

A SaaS team once spotted their first breach not in a SIEM dashboard, but in their AWS bill. Their compute costs spiked by 400% overnight. Turns out, an attacker had spun up dozens of high-powered instances for crypto mining. Logs eventually confirmed the intrusion, but the cost anomaly was the first signal that something was wrong. This incident isn’t unusual. Cloud costs often reflect consumption, but they can also reflect compromise.
