Managing Access in the Ivanti Neurons Platform

The platform provides features for member access, defining roles and permissions that guide user capabilities. Device management is regulated through scopes, which control visibility and actions on devices. Future enhancements will include object level ownership to improve policy management. Scopes also influence reporting, determining device visibility and compliance assessment, highlighting potential broader impacts beyond immediate access.

How to Optimize GPU

The Problem: AI workloads are dynamic, unpredictable, and expensive. Data prep can choke your pipeline, training jobs hog GPUs without awareness, and inference, the most latency-sensitive phase, is notoriously hard to scale efficiently. Worse, traditional infrastructure tools treat GPU as a static commodity, ignoring model intent, workload shape, and sharing capabilities.

Why Simplicity Beats Sprawl in Modern IT

In enterprise boardrooms today, what was once an arms race to adopt more tools and chase every new capability has now crystallized into a single mandate, “Make the platform work harder without spending more.” The industry has reached a saturation point. The buyers who once greenlit expansions now demand efficiency. And the ones who built the stack? They’re rethinking it entirely. It’s no wonder platformization is taking off.

Compliance Under the Microscope

I wanted to share a story of a recent engagement with a law firm to highlight the strategic importance of compliance in today’s legal sector. It started with a single email. A mid-sized law firm received a regulator’s request for evidence following a client complaint. The issue wasn’t malpractice; it was a missed filing deadline caused by a system slowdown. The firm had no audit trail to prove the delay was technical, not procedural.

MOCK AWS SES Locally! Stop Sending Test Emails & Cut Cloud Costs

In this quick guide, Speedscale's Matt LeRay shows you how to free your local development environment from direct AWS SES dependencies. When your application sends an email during local testing, it usually triggers a live AWS transaction, leading to slow tests, unnecessary cloud costs, and sometimes even spam filter issues.

Stop Getting Charged for Test Emails! #speedscale #aws #ses

Tired of local development using AWS SES leading to spam, cloud costs, and unnecessary API calls? When testing your app, you shouldn't have to connect to a live cloud environment just to send a test email.

When Breaches Expose Your Secrets: Why Automation is the Key to Fast, Scalable Remediation

In early October, Red Hat disclosed a breach of a GitLab system used by its Consulting division. Threat actors claim to have exfiltrated hundreds of gigabytes of project data — and while investigations are still underway, reports suggest consulting engagement artifacts may have been impacted. For the organizations involved, the concern isn’t limited to reputational damage.
