OpsGenie is joining Atlassian!

Today we are delighted to announce that Atlassian has entered into an agreement to acquire OpsGenie. Six years ago, my co-founders and I recognized that always-on services were becoming commonplace, customers’ expectations were growing, and service disruptions had increased potential to impact a company’s revenue and reputation.

Simplifying security auditing, Part 4: Securing web servers

Web servers are front-end facing applications that are vital for the daily operations of businesses.

Don't worry, though—most of the API remains unchanged, so upgrading should be a relatively painless process for most users.
