Real-time data is where information is collected, immediately processed, and then delivered to users to make informed decisions at the moment. Health and fitness wearables such as Fitbits are a prime example of monitoring stats such as heart rate and the number of steps in real-time. These numbers enable both users and health professionals to identify any results, existing or potential risks, without delay.

Beginning with v4.3, which is expected to be available within a month, Graylog will add support for OpenSearch v1.1 and v1.2 as the log message and event data repository.

If you’re in Infosec, at some point you’ve doubtless had to vet an application before it’s allowed to run in an enterprise environment.

There are multiple reasons why Java and the Java Virtual Machine-based languages are very popular among developers. A rich ecosystem with lots of open-source frameworks that can be easily incorporated and used is only one of them. The second, in my opinion, is the automatic memory management with a powerful garbage collector. The Java garbage collector, or in short, the GC, takes care of cleaning up the unused bits and pieces.

Log archiving is the process of storing all kinds of logs (application, system, or monitoring) from across a multitude of systems in a long-term storage solution like S3. Securely collecting and keeping logs is crucial for many businesses, and they have to do it effectively and with minimal supervision.

With the exponential rise in cybercrimes in the last decade, cybersecurity for businesses is no longer an option — it’s a necessity. Fuelled by the forced shift to remote working due to the pandemic, US businesses saw an alarming 50% rise in reported cyber attacks per week from 2020 to 2021.
