Microsoft Active Directory (AD) is the nerve center enabling your federal agency to access the systems and applications staff members need to do their jobs. AD is also a high-risk target for inside and outside threats and can be a gateway for other potential security vulnerabilities. The key to protecting your agency’s AD is to have the right processes in place to maintain its integrity, know whether something is happening that shouldn’t be, and demonstrate compliance if required.

Over the last few months, I’ve been listening and involved in conversations about Kubernetes (k8s) and trying to identify the common topics that creates debate on whether it’s a “good” or “bad” idea. There are sensible points of view on both sides of the debate.

Let’s talk visibility for a moment. Security visibility is a data-at-scale problem. Searching, analyzing, and processing across all your relevant data at speed is critical to the success of your team’s ability to stop threats at scale. Elastic Security can help you drive holistic visibility for your security team, and operationalize that visibility to solve SIEM use cases, strengthen your threat hunting practice with machine learning and automated detection, and more.

Looking back at my years working with infrastructure and going through it’s changes, I believe its time we start to rethink Operations because clearly this model of Ops as cluster or infrastructure admins does not scale. Developers will always out-demand their capacity to supply. Either your headcount is out of control or your ability to innovate and deliver is severely hamstrung. Operations becomes this interrupt-driven thing where we’re just fighting fires as they happen.

With the pandemic forcing businesses worldwide to reboot, many have no choice but to exact drastic cost-cutting measures to keep the lights on. Cloud computing is an expense incurred by every digital business that, unlike many other operating costs, is largely variable.

If you are looking to account for your container costs and understand how your AWS Kubernetes or EKS cluster spend maps onto your workloads, this guide was made for you! In this post we will walk through the steps to get up and running with CloudZero and Amazon Container Insights fast. CloudZero has integrated with Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights for its strength as a secure and automated solution for sharing container metrics within AWS.

Big data security is a term used for all collective measures taken to protect both data and analytical processes from theft, attacks or all other malicious activities. Just like other forms of cybersecurity, big data security is about attacks originating from every online or offline sphere. Companies operating on the cloud face multiple challenges including online information theft, DDoS attacks and ransomware.

The move to a multi-cloud environment brings with it many new considerations for an enterprises. Among those is a new approaching to networking. In our recent webinar, Jay Turner, Vice President of Development and Operations, and Neil Templeton VP, Marketing at PCCW Global, looked at some of the common challenges facing enterprises as they connect to more clouds, and identified some new ways to manage these connections more effectively. Here’s some of the tips you might have missed…

In early 2020, the Wavefront team was merged into the newly formed “Tanzu” portfolio under VMware’s Modern Applications business unit.

I’m excited to announce the launch of a new series of apps on Splunkbase: MLTK Smart Workflows. These apps are domain-specific workflows, built around specific use cases, that can be used to help you develop a set of machine learning models with your data. In this blog post, I’d like to take you through the process we adopted for developing the workflows.
