Prometheus 2.35 was released last month, focusing on a better integration with cloud providers. It also improved the service discovery, performance, and resources usage. One key change was the migration to Go v1.18. It has brought some changes in the support for TLS 1.0, 1.1, and certificates signed with the SHA1 hash function. Welcome to this first edition of What’s new in Prometheus. We love Prometheus, the de-facto open source standard monitoring tool!
Network Detection & Response (NDR) is a key element that provides an additional level of security across the company wide network through detection of threats that bypass traditional security measures and materialize in the company’s digital environment. Progress Flowmon ADS (Anomaly Detection System) is a typical representative of an NDR system that combines various detection techniques to ensure that malicious activity is recognized and flagged as a security incident.
The travel industry was hit harder than any other industry throughout the pandemic. Frequent changing of rules and restrictions resulted in multiple setbacks.

MQTT is a standard messaging protocol used for the Internet of Things (IoT) because it requires minimal resources and can be executed by small microcontrollers found in connected devices. IoT devices have a real need for this type of lightweight protocol because it guarantees fast and reliable communication with minimal hardware requirements, keeping power consumption and manufacturing costs low.
Kubernetes, a Greek word meaning pilot, has found its way into the center stage of modern software engineering. Its in-built observability, monitoring, metrics, and self-healing make it an outstanding toolset out of the box, but its core offering has a glaring problem. The Kubernetes logging challenge is its ephemeral resources disappearing into the ether, and without some 2005-style SSHing into the correct server to find the rolled over log files, you’ll never see the log data again.
Every year hackers grow in numbers, aggressiveness, organization, and sophistication. And every year there are new attack types and new areas of IT infrastructure that cybercriminals target. 2022 is no different. We are about a third of the way in already and IT pros and security specialists already have their hands full with new attacks and new issues.
Tom Granot and myself have had the privilege of Vlad Mihalcea’s online company for a while now. As a result we decided to do a workshop together talking about a lot of the things we learned in the process. This workshop would be pretty informal ad-hoc, just a bunch of guys chatting and showing off what we can do with tooling.
Benjamin Franklin was a smart dude. Among the many wonderful things he produced was an eternal bit of wisdom - an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. To avoid a bigger problem, spend time early on the things that help you avoid it. That wisdom applies everywhere. Avoid nasty stuff with doctors by exercising and making healthier choices. Avoid getting hit by a car by looking both ways. Avoid sunburn by wearing sunscreen. You get it. So what does this have to do with Sentry? A lot.
