DASH 2024 was our biggest event yet! Over two days, thousands from the Datadog community gathered at North Javits in New York City for an impactful experience. The 2024 keynote featured numerous new product launches and updates, but there was much more to enjoy beyond this speech. Attendees got to experience breakout sessions, workshops, certification exams, one-on-one Datadog consultations, and a bustling expo hall.

A couple of weeks back, I had the opportunity to participate in the Gartner Security and Risk Summit held in National Harbor, MD.

From doubling down on privacy to tighter integration with the ecosystem, Apple announced major updates across its product line-up in its landmark WWDC 2024. Although debuting Apple Intelligence and introduction of Genmojis have rightfully made the headlines, today we’ll bring you up to speed on Apple’s announcements on device management and what it has in store for Apple admins.

Last week, on June 3 -5, I attended the Gartner Security and Risk Summit in National Harbor, MD to learn about the latest trends and happenings in security.

Dan Toomey, Senior Integration Architect at Deloitte Australia, kicked off the session by highlighting the essential role of business rules in software development. He emphasized the significance of managing evolving and complex business rules, advocating for the use of effective tools like Business Rules Management Systems (BRMS) to safeguard code and services.
