Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) provides an enhanced security mechanism for your entire organization by requiring multiple methods of authentication credentials. Using traditionally managed passwords for accessing your apps, services, and networks is no longer a secure methodology. Indeed, cyber threats are on the rise. Hackers today employ sophisticated techniques such as spear-phishing or pharming to gain unauthorized access to corporate accounts.

According to a public sector survey of federal employees, some useful insights were discovered.

As cloud-native solutions are gaining recognition and becoming a common approach to developing applications, more attention has been directed towards container orchestration and Kubernetes. Both concepts within the realm of IT have been around for a while. Thanks to the technologies' maturing and cloud adoption, they've recently gained significant attention. We all know that software containers are far from traditional shipping containers, yet they function similarly: they standardize and combine.

In your career, if your role has ever included the monitoring or managing of any network infrastructure devices such as switches, routers, firewalls, etc., you’ve very likely heard of SNMP. In case you haven’t, SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol, and, unlike its name suggests, it is anything but simple. It is a standard protocol for collecting information from network devices and organizing it in a way that humans can (sort of) understand.

Our networks are always changing and evolving. Network Testing for higher speeds, better application and network device performance, and after a new service deployment or migration, helps us understand the impact of changes on our network. In this article, we’re running you through how to test network performance using Network Testing and Monitoring tools.

Modern software development is a high-pressure affair. Competition means getting to market faster with higher quality code and being able to release software quicker, monitor it and both find and fix problems quickly. By using modern tools and building a new approach and workflow to allow for monitoring, observability, and intelligent and actionable alerts it is possible to achieve faster release cycles with higher code quality.

When you’re working with large data sets, having that data structured in a way that means you can use software to process and understand it will enable you to derive insights far more quickly than any manual approach. Logfile data is no exception.
