Dr. Rumman Chowdhury and Ram Sriharsha, Head of Machine Learning at Splunk, discuss the challenges companies will face if they do not comply with ethical standards and how to solve for fairness and privacy.

Engineering teams are very used to talking about their tech stack as the technologies and tools used to build their application. Monitoring also has a stack, and full-stack monitoring is when you align each layer of your tech stack with a monitoring practice and weave a thread from every layer. True code-to-cloud visibility is only accomplished with full-stack monitoring, and necessary for long-term DevOps success.

Purple teams. Blue, green, red, back, canary deploys. Golden signals and red metrics. There are oddly a lot of color adjectives used in DevOps terminology, and Dave and Chris cover them all in this episode. They will talk about the range of deployment strategies for modern applications. The various types of metrics used to monitor them, and the different approaches to understanding how much visibility is good enough.

Hafnium is the latest cyberattack that utilizes a number of post-exploitation tools after gaining access to Exchange servers through a zero-day exploit. One of their persistence methods was creating new user accounts in the domain, giving them the ability to log back into the network using normal authentication rather than use a web shell or continue to re-exploit the vulnerability (which has since been patched). Learn how you can use Splunk Phantom to automate account monitoring to ensure that threat actors are not exploiting vulnerabilities to access sensitive information through authenticated accounts.
