Last night, Kansas topped the University of North Carolina in a thrilling come-from-behind victory to win their fourth championship in men’s college basketball.

Operational resilience remains the top priority for those in financial services. From the U.S. Federal Reserve's study into "Sound Practices to Strengthen Operational Resilience" and "Principles of Operational Resilience" from the Basel Committee to the Bank of England's upcoming rule changes for financial organizations in the UK, the intent is to create financial services institutions that are geared towards managing digital disruption. The goal is that financial service businesses can continue providing mission-critical services in the event of disruptions such as IT glitches, outages, and cyber-attacks.
HAProxy ALOHA is a load balancer that’s ideal for companies in search of high performance and ease of use. It comes as either a hardware appliance or a virtual appliance and provides load balancing of TCP, UDP and HTTP traffic, DDoS protection, and active-active clustering. One of its newest features is the ability to distribute traffic across multiple datacenters or regions through global server load balancing(GSLB).
Source-side queueing is a fancy way of saying: You can configure Cribl products to make sure data isn’t lost in the event of downstream backpressure, again. Those familiar with Cribl Stream might be aware of destination queuing or persistent queuing, wherein Stream can write data to the local disk in the event of an issue reaching the destination. Maybe your SIEM is suffering from disk I/O latency. Maybe there is a DNS problem with your load balancer (Hint: It’s always DNS).
Recently, a Remote Code Execution vulnerability was discovered in the Java Spring Core library. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems. You can find more information on that vulnerability in the announcement on the Spring Blog. While HAProxy Enterprise, HAProxy ALOHA, and other products within the HAProxy Technologies portfolio are not impacted by this (they do not use the Spring Core library at all), you can use our products to mitigate the attack.
