How to Size Infrastructure When Hardware Delays and Cost Pressure Change the Equation

Sizing infrastructure has always required a balance between performance, capacity, and risk. What has changed is the level of precision required to make those decisions. Hardware timelines are less predictable. Costs are under closer review. Decisions that were once routine now require clear justification. In many cases, the question is no longer just how much capacity is needed, but whether that capacity can be delivered when it is needed and whether the investment will hold up under scrutiny.

Deleting Em-Dashes : REALITY BYTES AI WORKPLACE SPECIAL ft. HR Leader Gabi Tofani

In this Reality Bytes special, Tom and Oriana welcome Nexthink’s Head of Global Talent Success, Gabi Tofani, to explore how AI is reshaping workplace culture, learning, leadership, and employee experience. From measuring AI adoption and building curiosity-driven cultures to the risks of “AI slop,” homogenized thinking, and performance reviews written by bots (for bots), the conversation examines what organizations might gain (and lose) as AI becomes embedded in daily work.

Native ASIM Ingestion for Microsoft Sentinel, Now in Bindplane

If you're sending security data to Microsoft Sentinel, you now have a faster path. A new ASIM mode lands your logs directly in Sentinel's native ASIM tables: no custom tables to predefine, no schema to design before data flows. We added ASIM mode to the Microsoft Sentinel destination, backed by a new ASIM standardization processor that converts raw logs to ASIM in the pipeline and routes each record to the table it belongs in. Here's how it works, and why we built it this way.

Why Most Organizations Still Don't Know What's Protected

Organizations invest heavily in cybersecurity tools, yet many still struggle to confidently understand what is actually protected across their environment. This blog explores how disconnected systems, unknown assets, and inconsistent data create blind spots, and how Teneo’s Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM), powered by ThreatAware, helps organizations gain a trusted view of security coverage.

How Much Time Are Security Teams Wasting Reconciling Data Across Tools?

Security teams today are managing growing volumes of cybersecurity data across increasingly complex environments. This blog explores the hidden operational cost of disconnected tools, manual data reconciliation, and fragmented reporting, and how Teneo’s Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM), powered by ThreatAware, helps organizations create a more unified and trusted view across their security estate. Most organizations are not short of security tools.

Building a Predictive Maintenance Plugin with the InfluxDB 3 Processing Engine

Predictive maintenance is one of the most compelling use cases for time series data. Instead of waiting for equipment to fail or servicing it on a fixed calendar regardless of condition, you watch the live sensor data and act when it indicates that a failure is coming. That “watch the data and act” loop is exactly what the InfluxDB 3 Processing Engine was built for.

Oops! All Robots | SolarWinds TechPod

Chrystal Taylor and Sean Sebring explore the fascinating world of robotics, from consumer devices to advanced medical robots, and discuss the future of humanoid and non-humanoid robots in our lives. Chrystal and Sean, with guest Andy Garibay, explore the future of robotics, focusing on form, function, and societal impact. They debate why certain designs, such as dogs, dominate, the potential of automation in construction and security, and the ethical considerations of humanoid robots.

From API to live dashboard - building a SquaredUp plugin with AI

No matter how fast we build, we'll never integrate with every tool. There are too many, new ones appear constantly, and some are too niche to ever reach the top of our roadmap. So if the tool you care about isn't supported yet, your options have been to wait for us to get to it, or build it yourself with our Web API plugin — a powerful, flexible option, though one that asks you to map out the endpoints, authentication and paging yourself.
