Operations | Monitoring | ITSM | DevOps | Cloud

When I came to SolarWinds in 2020, I was quickly immersed in the world of developers, application engineers, and IT operations. As I started talking to more customers about their roles, I came to understand each of the job functions uniquely—each with distinct responsibilities completely independent of one another. But as I was researching the age-old conflict between developers and IT ops professionals, I was introduced to a word that has now oversaturated work life: DevOps.

The JFrog Security research team has recently disclosed two denial of service issues (CVE-2021-37136, CVE-2021-37137) in Netty, a popular client/server framework which enables quick and easy development of network applications such as protocol servers and clients. In this post we will elaborate on one of the issues – CVE-2021-37136.

ITSM’s fundamental processes around request management, incident management, change management, and maintaining a CMDB all provide essential support services to enterprise business processes and employees. These are some of IT’s “run the business” functions that can consume 57% of IT’s resources by one benchmark and be a lot higher for organizations that aren’t investing heavily in digital transformation.

I am excited to announce the launch of our latest network security offering known as Ivanti Neurons for Secure Access (nSA). This new cloud-based management solution will allow our existing L3 VPN customers using Connect Secure to take the next step in their journey toward a zero trust architecture. And this all can happen while still utilize existing Connect Secure VPNs that are already setup and configured.

Identity and Access Management involves a series of complex and organisational challenges. This brings together people from the whole organisation to engage in workflow management and decision making. Where the tools at hand lack the capacity to integrate key stakeholders into the communication and the decision-making process, the organization suffers.

It's time to talk about a new amazing number (a number I'm very proud of) - the number 10. '10' is not the new version number of Ivanti Device & Application Control - 10 is the number of new features and functionality that we have delivered with our latest product release! We have used all of your valuable feedback to create an even more valuable version of Ivanti Device and Application Control with release 5.4.

In the last two years, we have seen the rise of remote and hybrid work, and with that, a proliferation of tools and apps needed to support critical communication and collaboration. Finding that app-life balance has become increasingly complex, so simplifying “how” we work is key for every organization.

Today, I'm super excited to announce our new Performance and Error tracing features for all Playwright-based browser checks. One of our key initiatives is supporting you with deeper insights into what is causing issues in the web apps you monitor with Checkly. With this new set of features we give you actionable data for easy debugging; Collected automatically with no extra code needed. Of course, fixing bugs in Production is great, but catching bugs before they go live is even better!

Stand-up meetings. Is anyone happy with them at this point? They were supposed to help teams work in a more agile manner but they were already controversial in the before times and moving to fully distributed teams hasn’t made things any better. The same old habits, the same tired questions. There must be something better, right? We began meandering syncs to replace stand-ups as an experiment at Honeycomb, but loved the results so much that we have adopted it across the engineering org.

It’s the second holiday season since the pandemic broke out but, with many brick-and-mortar stores reopened, will it be more like 2020 or 2019? Will shoppers stick to online behemoths like Amazon or will they shop in-store? And how are retailers planning to offer a competitive experience amid ongoing supply chain issues? We partnered with Researchscape to survey thousands of eCommerce companies and consumers in the U.S. about their plans for this holiday season.
