It’s a question we hear often - how do we use the Progress Flowmon solution to block an attack? Flowmon is not an inline appliance that stands in the path of inbound traffic, so we partner with third-party vendors who supply equipment such as firewalls or unified security gateways. In this post, we’re going to show you how to instruct Fortinet’s firewall FortiGate via Flowmon ADS to block traffic in response to a detected anomaly or attack.

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, one question is becoming increasingly pressing: are you in control of your digital future? With growing concerns around data sovereignty and the impact of geopolitical risks on cloud strategies, it's time to assess your organization's digital infrastructure.

June 12 started like any other Wednesday–until the internet broke. It started with Google Cloud’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) system, but the fallout hit everything built on top of it. Widespread service degradation swept across core Google products and third-party platforms. Gmail, Docs, Meet, and Chat went dark. Cloudflare services were unavailable. Developer and AI tools faltered.

Complex escalation policy? No problem. Alert Visualization shows exactly how your alert will route, before it ever fires.

As companies adopt more artificial intelligence (AI) to stay competitive and simplify operations, they’re hitting a snag they’ve seen plenty of times before: complexity. Those user-friendly chatbots and impressive predictive models aren’t magic—they run on powerful GPUs like NVIDIA’s and rely on cloud services such as Azure OpenAI or Amazon SageMaker.

Megaport Cloud Router's new feature is here to cut complexity and secure your network even faster. If you’re already a Megaport customer, Megaport Cloud Router (MCR) likely needs no introduction. This popular and long-standing solution allows customers to spin up routing capabilities on-demand within Megaport’s global Network as a Service (NaaS) platform and can be utilized across a variety of use cases.

Keeping tabs on your network has never been more important. Whether you’re running a small business or managing infrastructure across cloud environments, visibility into what’s happening behind the scenes is essential. But visibility alone isn’t enough…when something breaks, the IT engineer needs to know immediately, so they can take action and resolve critical issues.

Your Prometheus dashboard shows 847 CPU metrics. The alert fired—but is the problem in us-east or us-west? You're trying to rule out whether that new feature caused a latency spike, but the sheer number of time series isn’t helping. Grouping can make this manageable. By organizing metrics by shared label values, you can quickly spot which service or region is behaving differently, without digging through every metric.

In our previous blog, we talked about how LangChain and LangGraph help structure your agent’s behavior. But structure isn’t the same as visibility. This one’s about fixing that. Not with more logs. Not with generic dashboards. You need to see what your agent did, step by step, tool by tool, so you can understand how a simple query turned into a long, expensive run.

Remember when we thought deploying from our laptops was efficient? When FTPing files directly to production at 2 AM felt like peak productivity? We’ve been here before. As AI transforms how we write code, we’re about to learn the same lesson all over again — but this time with much bigger bills.
