The DVC is an in-memory cache that stores distinct values of one or more columns in a table. It is typically used to cache distinct tag values, but you can also cache distinct field values.

How Cortex brings visibility, governance, and self-service to Kubernetes operations

Oct 27, 2025 By Cortex In Cortex
Platform teams handle cluster provisioning manually because it requires oversight. A product team needs a cluster, so they submit a request. Someone reviews the configuration, provisions it through the cloud provider, waits for it to spin up, and sends back access details. Two days later, the cluster is ready. The delay is intentional. Without review, teams provision oversized clusters that blow budgets, misconfigure networking, or deploy in the wrong regions.

How AI-Native Pipelines Reduce 80% of Noisy Data for Lower Costs and Better Security

Oct 27, 2025 By Bryan Turriff In Observo.ai
Security data is exploding. Most organizations see their telemetry volumes double every two to three years, driven by cloud adoption, distributed architectures, and an expanding attack surface.

Shadow AI on Trial: The Phantom Threat to Compliance

Oct 27, 2025 By Teneo In Teneo
Every law firm I meet can explain its information security policy in minutes. Far fewer can tell me which AI tools their staff actually used last week, and what data those tools touched. That gap is where Shadow AI sits, such as unsanctioned, unmonitored use of generative AI slips in. It promises speed, but it quietly creates exposure: confidentiality breaches, weak auditability, and a risk to governance when the regulator (or a client’s GC) asks hard questions.

Suddenly, your bill looks totally different than what you were expecting.
