For many organizations, making the most of the visibility Datadog offers into the health and performance of their infrastructure means displaying dashboards to stakeholders in various settings continuously and in real time. But the standard solutions for sharing dashboards to large-format displays can be onerous, involving sundry software and hardware and restrictive manual setups. These solutions can also pose significant security risks, since they tend to involve sharing passwords or devices.

My father worked with some of the very first computers ever imported to Italy. It was a time when a technician was a temple of excellence built on three pillars: on-the-field experience, a bag of technical manuals, and a fully-stocked toolbox. It was not uncommon that missing the right manual or the correct replacement part turned into a day-long trip from the customers’ site to headquarters and back.

How enterprises store and split up observability and security data is a great analogy to how lint, spare change, and partially-eaten bags of popcorn end up under couch cushions. Or when you tell your kids to clean up the house when company is coming over and they stash their toys and your tools in various nooks and crannies.

Why should you keep Terraform module, provider, and backend registries in a binary repository manager like Artifactory? Because, like your builds, packages, and other artifacts, your Terraform files are a key part of your software supply chain. Terraform is a widely used open source infrastructure-as-code (IaC) software tool to manage the entire lifecycle of cloud service infrastructure.

Organizations of all sizes rely on their observability data to drive critical business decisions. Production Engineers across Development, ITOps, and Security use it to understand their systems better, respond to issues faster, and ultimately provide more performant and secure user experiences. But while the value of observability data is well understood, teams struggle to derive value from it.

Although Java has been around for 27 years, enterprise applications still favor it as one of their preferred platforms. Java's functionality and programming flexibility increased concurrently with technological advancement, keeping it a useful language for more than 25 years. Outstanding examples of this progression include new garbage collection algorithms and memory management systems.

MITRE is a world-renowned research organization that aims to help build a safer world. It is probably best known in the information security industry for being the organization behind the industry-standard CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) list. Each entry on the list is supposed to include an explanation of how the vulnerability could be exploited. These attack vectors are tracked and defined in another well-known knowledge base called ATT&CK, which is also maintained by MITRE.
