What Is CIS Compliance? A Complete Guide

Most security breaches begin with something small and avoidable. Think of a password still set to its default, a server port left open to the internet, or configuration drift that slowly undoes last year's careful setup. Gaps like these go unnoticed because nobody is assigned to look for them, and they can be very costly. According to IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach report, the average data breach incident costs companies 4.44 million dollars.

SBOM vs CBOM: Software and Cryptographic Bills of Materials Explained

How confident are you that you know every component inside your software, and every algorithm guarding it? In practice, the answer is usually scattered across build tools, ticketing systems, and spreadsheets that stopped being accurate months ago. A modern application draws on hundreds of open-source parts, and the encryption underneath them is harder still to trace. That visibility gap is what keeps the "SBOM vs CBOM" question alive in security and compliance reviews.

The NetOps Dashboard Era Is Closing: Our Take on Gartner's 'The Future of NetOps Is Agentic'

For roughly fifteen years, operating a network has meant living inside a vendor dashboard. An engineer’s skill was, in large part, the ability to read those panels quickly and act on what they showed. Gartner’s read in “The Future of NetOps Is Agentic” is that this arrangement is closing, and sooner than most teams have staffed for.

Sentry + GitHub Copilot: Let Agents Find and Fix Your Errors

Andrea Griffiths is a Senior Developer Advocate at GitHub. She uses Sentry to monitor the Python scripts behind GitHub’s community streams, because when those pipelines fail, nobody knows until users start complaining. GitHub and Sentry built a loop that fixes that. Sentry catches the error, Seer diagnoses it, and Copilot drafts the fix. No one has to be in the middle of it. In this session, Paul Jaffre (Developer Experience at Sentry) breaks down what Seer is, then he and Andrea break a real script live and watch the loop catch it, diagnose it, and open the fix as a pull request.
