As healthcare and life sciences organizations move to digitize their operations and automate their workflows, they are encountering new challenges related to HIPAA regulations, which dictate how patient information should be collected and stored.

Apache Ignite is a computing platform for storing and processing large datasets in memory. Ignite can leverage hardware RAM as both a caching and storage layer to serve as a distributed, in-memory database or data grid. This allows Ignite to ingest and process complex datasets—such as those from real-time machine learning and analytics systems—in parallel and at faster speeds than traditional databases supported by only disk storage.

The Splunk Security Research Team has been working on Kubernetes security analytic stories mainly focused on AWS and GCP cloud platforms. The turn has come now for some Azure Kubernetes security monitoring analytic stories. As outlined in my "Approaching Kubernetes Security — Detecting Kubernetes Scan with Splunk" blog post, when looking at Kubernetes security, there are certain items within a cluster that must be monitored.

One reason for building a ‘single source of truth’ for software assets is that it gives the organization control over who can use what when. The ‘wild West’ of public repositories gives no control at all and can lead to a situation in which packages and dependencies of dubious provenance are integrated into builds without a second thought. Within the Cloudsmith world, we want to have the maximum security and control possible.
