Feb 9, 2026 By Keith MacKenzie In CloudZero

API Testing Tools Best Practices Guide

Feb 6, 2026 By Kasper Siig In Speedscale
Today’s software testing trends show the growing demand for more efficient and automated API testing. Manual testing is not only time-intensive for internal testing teams, it can also lead to poor customer experiences.

VirtualMetric DataStream + Google SecOps Integration: Pre-Ingest UDM Normalization at Scale

Feb 6, 2026 By VirtualMetric In VirtualMetric
Google SecOps (formerly Chronicle) is widely used for large-scale security analytics, long-term telemetry retention, and detection across diverse environments. Its Unified Data Model (UDM) enables correlation across sources and supports analytics that operate over long time horizons. To take full advantage of these capabilities, security data must arrive in a consistent and well-structured UDM format. In practice, this is rarely the case.
