Turns out, Alloy Navigator is incredibly flexible and can be applied in business processes beyond IT service management.

Automated, codified, Linux-ready. For DevOps and Platform Engineers who need monitoring that ships with infrastructure.

We’re pleased to share a security enhancement for Ubuntu workloads on Microsoft Azure. In collaboration with Microsoft, Ubuntu now supports Azure’s Metadata Security Protocol (MSP)—a feature that hardens access to the Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) and WireServer. On Ubuntu, MSP is enabled by the azure-proxy-agent package, Canonical’s integration of Microsoft’s Guest Proxy Agent (GPA).

Every software organization has its own unique architecture and workflows. Beyond services and APIs, teams rely on internal libraries, CI/CD jobs, data pipelines, AI agents, and more to keep systems running smoothly. But as architectures grow more complex and interconnected, it can become difficult to keep track of all the structural dependencies and interactions in one place.

Cybersecurity finally has a seat in the boardroom. Ivanti’s 2025 State of Cybersecurity research shows that: On paper, that’s progress. But, many organizations struggle to convert board-level attention into sustained, measurable risk reduction.

Security teams are increasingly realizing that yesterday’s SIEMs weren’t built for today’s world. Legacy platforms were designed for static, on-prem environments where data sources were relatively predictable and volumes were manageable. But the shift to cloud, SaaS, and dynamic workloads has completely changed the equation. Cloud-friendly, flexible, and cost-conscious SIEMs are now table stakes.

Node.js has become one of the most popular platforms for building scalable and high-performance web applications. Its event-driven, non-blocking I/O model allows developers to efficiently handle thousands of concurrent connections with minimal overhead. However, many businesses still face a critical challenge, Node.js applications often crash unexpectedly in production environments, causing downtime, lost revenue, and damage to brand reputation.

A customer support technician is a technical professional who helps customers solve issues with hardware, software, and IT systems. They’re often the first point of contact when something breaks, whether that’s a computer glitch, a network outage, or a software error. The role is all about troubleshooting, guiding users through solutions, and making sure technology runs the way it’s supposed to.

Telemetry data is growing at an average of 29% a year — doubling costs every 18 months. That’s putting pressure on ITOps budgets, observability platforms, SecOps teams, and SIEM deployments alike. In this post, we’ll explore how unchecked data volumes, siloed tools, and aging architectures are creating a telemetry cost crunch that limits visibility, slows both troubleshooting and threat detection, and impacts business outcomes.
