Test Data Management and SOC 2 Compliance

Mar 13, 2026 By Tony Davis In Redgate
Using live data outside production is one of the fastest ways to create compliance risk, because it quickly becomes harder to control who can access it, how it is handled, and how long it is kept. A Test Data Management (TDM) approach provides exactly the kind of controls SOC 2 auditors look for in this situation: an automated, traceable end-to-end process for protecting, provisioning, and removing customer data so it can be used safely in non-production environments.

Mar 13, 2026 By Amina Mujkanovic In HAProxy
With NIS2 and DORA now in effect, EU organizations face a fundamental shift in how they approach security. Compliance is a standard built into every layer of your environment, from your hardware and OS to your software configuration. HAProxy alone doesn't make an organization compliant, yet it serves as a critical technical component of a strong security strategy.

OpAMP for OpenTelemetry: Managing Collector Fleets and Introducing the New OpAMP Gateway Extension

Mar 13, 2026 By Andy Keller In ObservIQ
Today, Bindplane is launching the OpAMP Gateway Extension in alpha — a new component that extends OpAMP fleet management into network-segmented and firewalled environments where direct agent-to-server connectivity is not possible. It also addresses fleet scaling by fanning many agent connections into a small upstream pool, reducing connection load on the OpAMP server. We also hope to donate the OpAMP Gateway Extension upstream to the OpenTelemetry project and welcome community contributions.

The Obkio Story: Building a Network Observability & Diagnostics Solution

Mar 13, 2026 By Alyssa Lamberti In Obkio
In 2016, before Obkio existed, we ran a market audit. We interviewed banks, manufacturing companies, and service providers, and asked them one simple question: Why aren't you using a Network Performance Monitoring solution? The answer was unanimous: the tools were too complex, and nobody had the internal resources to run them full-time. If that was true for enterprises with dedicated networking staff, it was even more true for smaller businesses with generalist IT teams.

How CloudZero Measures Cost Per Customer (Step By Step)

Mar 13, 2026 By Bill Buckley In CloudZero
Like most SaaS companies, CloudZero uses its own product. When we released cost per customer reporting, we tested it on ourselves first. And today, we use cost per customer reports regularly. Why? Because they help leadership answer board and renewal questions, including customer-level margins. Cost per customer is valuable and hard to get right. Multi-tenant systems and Kubernetes can hide the link between shared infrastructure (like EC2) and the customers using it.

Wireless Intercom Headset System: How to Choose, Deploy, and Communicate Without Limits

Mar 13, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Wired communication systems have a hard ceiling. The cable defines your range, restricts your movement, and creates a single point of failure every time someone trips, pulls, or unplugs. For a construction foreman moving between floors, a stage manager coordinating backstage logistics, or a security supervisor monitoring a venue perimeter, that constraint is not a minor inconvenience - it is a direct limit on operational effectiveness.
