Have You Forgotten About Application-Level Security?

Security is one of the most changeable landscapes in technology at the moment. With innovations, come new threats, and it seems like every week brings news of a major organization succumbing to a cyber attack. We’re seeing innovations like AI-driven threat detection and zero-trust networking continuing to be a huge area of investment. However, security should never be treated as a single plane.

What is ServiceOps?

ServiceOps is a new business technology strategy that combines IT service management (ITSM) with IT operations management (ITOM). ServiceOps is fundamentally about connecting people, processes, and technology that are dependent on one another to enable successful service delivery and make user experiences better with automation, collaboration, and visibility across traditionally fragmented departments.

Percepio Joins the Zephyr Project

Last summer, we added support for the open source Zephyr RTOS to Tracealyzer. Today, in recognition of the potential of Zephyr to become the leading independent platform for small IoT devices, Percepio joined the Zephyr Project as a Silver sponsor. Percepio made significant contributions to the Zephyr source code, extending the tracing subsystem to allow full tracing of Zephyr applications in line with the capabilities of Tracealyzer.

Benchmarking Prometheus-compatible time series databases

Some time ago, Aliaksandr Valialkin published a medium post about comparing VictoriaMetrics and Prometheus resource usage when scraping metrics from thousands of targets. He used node_exporter as a source for metrics to scrape, which is very close to most real-world scenarios. However, the benchmark itself was just a bunch of scripts and a lot of manual work for every test.

8 Signs You Have a Cloud Optimization Problem

In a survey we conducted last year, we discovered that many enterprises overestimate their ability to optimize their hybrid cloud infrastructures. More than three-quarters of respondents gave themselves high marks for a range of capabilities. Here’s the exact breakdown of the number who rated their abilities a 4 or 5 out of 5: This sounds like great news, except there’s a problem. When we asked about how easy it is to get a global view of cloud costs, 42% said that it takes some effort.

Lightrun For Application Security - Detecting, Investigating and Verifying Fixes for Security Incidents Using Lightrun

Cover major milestones in app security: finding the issue, evaluating a breach, proving it and validating the fix. We didn’t design Lightrun for this task, but it rises to the challenge.

In that capacity, I can show some creative ways you can use it as a security tool.

Volvo Uses InfluxDB to Evolve Its DevOps Monitoring to Enable Data-Driven Decisions

Production delays or stoppages are the bane of any manufacturer. When you’re a global automaker like Volvo, even the smallest delays can have significant ripple effects. But not even global leaders are immune to IT issues. This was the situation Volvo faced several years ago. It had a legacy DevOps monitoring solution in place for the previous 15–20 years, but that system no longer met the company’s needs. On the surface, it seems like a robust system.
