Data is the cornerstone of most businesses. Companies handle a substantial amount of data every day, and just one data breach can result in compliance violations, lawsuits, and more, costing the company thousands of dollars. Here at ManageEngine, we believe that part of what makes a business successful is having an efficient security solution. Taking that one step further, we have designed the perfect security solution for Microsoft 365: M365 Security Plus.

On August 13th, 2020 we released a new Enterprise Alert version, version 8.5.0. Included in this release are the following product enhancements.

We did it again. We just published a new free tool, the HTTP Response Header Check. This handy little gadget quickly grabs your HTTP response headers for your review. It sounds simple because it is. But as every good DevOps pro knows, it is always a good idea to check your headers from time to time.

ChaosSearch is excited to announce its new integration with Opsgenie — Atlassian’s alerting and incident management platform. Using this integration, your teams can leverage the industry’s most powerful and comprehensive data monitoring and analytics capabilities channeled into a unified workflow through Opsgenie’s easy-to-use interface.

Last week Sumo Logic announced our new Observability Suite, which included the public introduction of the closed beta for our distributed tracing capabilities as part of our Microservices Observability solution. This new solution will provide end-to-end visibility into user transactions across services, as well as seamless integration into performance metrics and logs to accelerate issue resolution and root-cause analysis. In this blog, we’ll explore the new solution in detail.

Today, at Dash 2020, we unveiled new products and features on the Datadog platform that provide engineering teams with even deeper visibility into their distributed applications and infrastructure. With these additions, Datadog further streamlines every step of your release cycle, from shift-left testing in your CI/CD pipelines to profiling your code in production.

When your application experiences an outage, the tools your team uses to manage its response can make all the difference in how quickly they resolve the problem and avoid it in the future. An effective incident management workflow depends on accessible, integrated tools as well as clear, direct channels of communication. And, even after the matter’s been resolved, documentation and analysis of an outage is vital to ensuring it never happens again.

Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) are major inhibitors for organizations moving to the cloud—and for good reason. Cloud environments are complex, and even a single misconfigured security group can result in a serious data breach. In fact, asset misconfigurations were the leading cause of cloud security breaches in 2019. This puts a lot of pressure on developer and operations teams to properly secure their services and maintain regulatory compliance.
