The best incident management software in 2026 depends on your team’s response workflow: OnPage for SMB and enterprise IT and digital operations teams prioritizing persistent critical alerts and on-call escalation, PagerDuty for large organizations with complex routing and integration requirements, and incident.io for engineering teams coordinating incidents in Slack.

Building automation systems help facility managers monitor equipment, optimize building performance, and detect potential issues before they become major disruptions. However, detecting an issue is only the first step. Ensuring the right technician receives and responds to a critical alarm is equally important. Johnson Controls Metasys is a building automation system (BAS) that enables facility teams to monitor and control HVAC equipment, lighting, energy usage, and other connected building systems.

A critical security vulnerability can put an entire business at risk before IT teams have even established where the problem lies. For CIOs, that means needing immediate answers about which systems are exposed, how essential business services could be affected and how quickly their teams can get ahead of the threat. That was the challenge facing organizations on October 21, when two critical PHP vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, emerged.

More customers, businesses, and consumers are beginning to care more about where their data is stored, who can access it, and how to keep the cloud private.

Running several coding agents at once is pretty straightforward. Give each a task, let them work independently, and you can make progress on multiple things at the same time. But the more agents you have working, the more changes you need to coordinate. Agents can edit overlapping code, make conflicting assumptions, or finish work that depends on changes another agent hasn’t completed.

Starting new software work has never been easier. Developers can assign tasks to multiple coding agents, let them work independently, and turn their attention elsewhere while those agents write, test, and revise code. As models improve, teams have more opportunities to pursue work that previously would have waited. Getting all that work validated and merged is another matter. The 2026 State of Software Delivery Q3 Pulse report shows teams working across more branches and projects.

A tricky Google Cloud support ticket that spanned GKE, Private Service Connect (PSC), Networking, Hostnet, Kernel, and the Linux kernel itself.

Coroot's node-agent has had an eBPF CPU profiler for a long time. When something burns CPU, you open the flame graph and see which function. When something waits for the disk, you have nothing: the CPU profile is flat, because waiting does not consume CPU. The metrics for disk problems are always the same. Latency on a volume goes up, utilization hits 100%, queries slow down. Every chart agrees the disk is the bottleneck, none of them says what the database was doing while it waited. Flushing pages?

Making an SRE agent available in Slack sounds straightforward until you start thinking about what that agent can access. If it's connected to Kubernetes, you need to consider how Slack communicates with the agent, what infrastructure the agent can inspect, and who can ask it to do something. Making operational tools easier to use shouldn't mean exposing another service or giving everyone unrestricted access to production.

A tampered build of the Claude Code editor extension (anthropic.claude-code 2.1.313) was published on the Open VSX store used by Vs code,Cursor and similar editors, quietly gives attackers persistent remote access to any computer that runs it, while the extension keeps working normally. Researchers don’t yet know how it was published (the listing belongs to an Anthropic employee) or who is behind it. They found no evidence that Anthropic’s official Marketplace release was affected.
