As you likely be all too aware, there is a Microsoft Outlook zero-day vulnerability listed under CVE-2023-23397. With the increased attacks on Outlook this month, Microsoft has pushed out fixes for about 80 Windows flaws. More information on some of those patches can be found in my colleague Lewis Pope’s March 2023 Patch Tuesday blog. Lewis was also kind enough to send over the remediation script for both N-able N-central and N-able N-sight.

What’s up!? My name is Mikaela Caron, I’m an iOS Engineer at Lickability, and also a freelance developer, GitKraken Ambassador, and content creator. I make content on YouTube, Instagram, and Mastodon / Twitter about iOS development and freelancing. I also organize a monthly online meetup called iOS Dev Happy Hour. I wrote this article to explain the benefits of having a profile README, how to create your own, and show a few examples of public profiles.

In an article a few months ago, my colleague covered the functionality within eG Enterprise that ensures secure and traceable audit trails for both users and admins of eG Enterprise allowing automated auditing and reporting for regulatory compliance and security, see Auditing Capabilities in IT Monitoring Tools | eG Innovations. Today, I will follow from this article and cover how eG Enterprise also controls and audits the execution of Remote Control Actions and scripts.

Cloud has become the de-facto standard for new application development. Kubernetes solves many problems of modern-day cloud infrastructure. It has made microservices-based distributed software systems possible, enabling organizations to provide on-demand scaling. But at the same time, Kubernetes has also increased operational complexity. In simple terms, Kubernetes is a container orchestration tool. Container environments are dynamic and ephemeral.

IPv6 was developed in the late 1990s as a successor to IPv4 in response to widespread concerns about the growth of the Internet and its potential impact on the existing IPv4 address protocol, in particular potential address exhaustion. It was assumed that after some time as a dual-stack solution, we would phase out IPv4 entirely. Almost twenty-five years later, however, we are approaching full-scale depletion of IPv4 addresses, in part because the adoption of IPv6 is still lagging.

As we all know, team collaboration can sometimes be a bit complicated. Especially when different teams in the organization strive to achieve their own individual goals. This is where new organizational practices, such as DevOps and DevSecOps, have paved the path for us to work together and achieve our mutual goals. Take a look at these three trying to make it work… Triple Therapy for your Dev, Sec AND Ops Teams.

SQL Server AlwaysOn availability groups provide database clusters that streamline automatic failovers and disaster recovery. With AlwaysOn clusters, you can leverage reliable, high-availability support for your services. However, AlwaysOn groups can be problematically complex, spread over servers and regions with multiple points of failure in each cluster. This makes it difficult to understand what’s happening in your groups at any given time and troubleshoot when issues occur.

CreateContainerConfigError and CreateContainerError are two of the most prevalent Kubernetes errors found in cloud-native applications. CreateContainerConfigError is an error happening when the configuration specified for a container in a Pod is not correct or is missing a vital part. CreateContainerError is a problem happening at a later stage in the container creation flow. Kubernetes displays this error when it attempts to create the container in the Pod.

Cribl Search is a powerful tool that allows users to search and analyze data at rest, quickly and efficiently. But what if you need to send your search results to a different system for further analysis, audit, or compliance purposes? For instance, consider the following use cases: That’s where send operator comes in.

Welcome dear reader! It's time for a deep dive into the world of DNS. As you would expect for a SaaS startup, everything starts with the customer. On a bright sunny day, we received a support request, asking for an explanation for unusual 5 second DNS resolution times that triggered check degradations.
