Automation has become a game changer for businesses seeking efficiency and scalability in a rather unclear and volatile macroeconomic landscape. Streamlining processes, improving productivity, and reducing incidence for human error are just a few benefits that automation brings. However, as organizations embrace automation, it’s crucial to ensure modern security measures are in place to protect these new and evolving assets.

At N-able’s recent Empower partner event in Prague, we took the opportunity to ask some Cove Data Protection users what they actually think about the product. Naturally, we were pleased to hear so many positive comments, but we also found that their reasons for choosing Cove varied, as did the capabilities they value most. Here’s a little sample.

PHP is a powerful language used by at least 80% of all the applications you use today as their backend scripting language. This can be attributed to its relatively simpler syntax, which is on the same line as other C-style languages. It supports different operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS), web servers, databases and integrates seamlessly with popular databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle, making it a suitable choice for database-driven applications.

Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is a critical security measure for modern software delivery pipelines. It involves evaluating the security of web applications by actively testing them in real-time, simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities. As the cybersecurity threat landscape has evolved, DAST has emerged as a key tool for enforcing application security in continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

In Kubernetes, the Domain Name System (DNS) plays a crucial role in enabling service discovery for pods to locate and communicate with other services within the cluster. This function is essential for managing the dynamic nature of Kubernetes environments and ensuring that applications can operate seamlessly. For organizations migrating their workloads to Kubernetes, it’s also important to establish connectivity with services outside the cluster.
