Detecting PowerShell Exploitation

In today’s digital landscape, cybersecurity is a top priority for organizations. Hackers are continuously finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities and compromise systems. PowerShell, a powerful scripting language and automation framework developed by Microsoft, has unfortunately become a favored tool among attackers due to its capability to run.NET code and execute dynamic code downloaded from another system (or the internet) and execute it in memory without ever touching disk.

Building an Internal Development Platform (IDP): A Journey of Innovation and Growth #shorts

As your organization grows, the increased number of engineers and services can put a strain on your infrastructure and ops teams. As Latin America’s largest online commerce and payments ecosystem, MercadoLibre needed to solve this scaling challenge. So we embarked on a mission to build an Internal Development Platform (IDP). We’ll highlight our transformative journey and how the IDP grew to manage over 26,000 microservices, while delivering a highly productive environment to MercadoLibre’s 12,000+ developers. In this session, you’ll learn about the challenges and solutions required to successfully build your own IDP.

5 Ways AIOps Monitoring Benefits EUC Environments

The adoption of AIOps monitoring technologies has been somewhat slower in EUC than many other areas of IT. The legacy VDI and DaaS vendor tools set expectations low for many. It is still relatively common for us to come across potential customers who are using legacy tools and manually exporting 6 months of data into an excel spreadsheet to try and work out average and peak usage of resources such as CPU to then manually calculate alert thresholds.

Using OpenTelemetry Collector Loki Receiver to Send Logs to SigNoz [Code Tutorial]

In this tutorial, you will learn how to collect logs using the Loki receiver in OpenTelemetry Collector to send logs to SigNoz. If you’re using Promtail to collect logs, you can send them to SigNoz instead of Loki via the OpenTelemetry Collector. In this tutorial, we cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this prerequisites section.

Is your Java Observability tool Lambda Expressions aware?

Most SREs and IT Ops manage Java applications without source code access or communication with AppDev teams. When applications have performance issues those SREs or IT Ops teams deploying and maintaining the infrastructure often have to prove that it is the application at fault and supply information to the app supplier which provides evidence of the issue.

OpenTelemetry vs Jaeger : Comparing Apple and Oranges

Open telemetry works with all the three signals i.e. it help in generating all the three signals while Jaeger only focuses on one signal (traces). The second key difference is Jaeger doesn't worry about generating data. It's more focused on the UI visualization long term storage of traces data while OpenTelemetry primarily focused on generating traces data.
