Modern security operations teams face an overwhelming challenge: a rapidly growing volume of logs, alerts, and telemetry from cloud services, on-premises infrastructure, and third-party security tools. Traditional SIEM platforms often struggle to scale cost-effectively and provide the agility needed for advanced analytics and threat hunting.

In 2018, attackers gained access to Tesla’s AWS cloud environment through an unprotected Kubernetes console (admin console). Because it lacked proper authentication, the hackers could see and control cluster resources. Once inside, they deployed new pods running cryptocurrency mining software, using Tesla’s compute power for profit. During the breach, the attackers also uncovered credentials stored in the cluster.

When a Node.js app slows down, you don’t get a clear picture right away. One service stalls, another spikes in CPU, and somewhere in between, requests start piling up. You can’t fix what you can’t see. Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools close that gap. They capture request traces, latency, and errors across your stack — showing you what’s running slow and why.

In an era of unprecedented change, the role of an engineering leader has never been more demanding. Yesterday’s priority was scaling teams, while today’s is twofold: deploying AI responsibly and measuring the true impact of it all. The challenges are immense, and for the first time in a long time, the playbook is being written in real-time. That’s why today, we are thrilled to announce the launch of Braintrust, a new community from Cortex.

So you’ve run into cloud cost challenges — incomplete visibility, overspending, thinning margins — and you’re wondering whether you have what it takes to build a cloud cost optimization platform in-house. It’s a responsible question (one that the FinOps Foundation even advises you to ask). Be warned: Building your own cloud cost optimization platform seems cheaper than adding another SaaS subscription. It’s not.

As organizations increasingly rely on cloud computing to drive their businesses forward, a critical question arises: what happens when the cloud is no longer a trusted partner? This was a key theme explored at Civo Navigate London 2025, where Civo's leadership team shared their insights on the future of cloud computing and the growing importance of sovereign cloud solutions.

It’s 3:30 p.m. A partner’s laptop refuses to authenticate to the VDI. The urgent filing is in two hours. The ticket title reads like a headstone you’ve seen a hundred times: “Can’t connect, tried rebooting, please help.” Another “undead” incident claws its way out of the queue. By home time, the backlog becomes a graveyard of recurring tickets, and your team, although brilliant and capable, is exhausted and applying the same fixes again and again.
