It’s a story we often hear from our partners: A client calls and their network’s down, so our partner logs into Auvik, pinpoints the problem, and gets them back up in no time. Everyone’s happy. But your client shouldn’t have to make that first call. And if you’re using Auvik to its full potential, they likely won’t have to. Turning Auvik on when a client reports a major problem doesn’t make full use of Auvik’s power. For that, it needs to be on all the time.

Last month, the Virtual Instruments team made our way from the sunny South Bay to foggy San Francisco for VMworld. With more than 21,000 attendees, 5,000 companies and 230 exhibitors from 86 companies, it’s easy to see why VMworld is considered one of the biggest IT events of the year.

The rate of cyberattacks is alarming. The number keeps increasing every year. According to the FBI’s 2019 Internet Crime Report, in 2018, cybercrime leads to a $2.7 billion loss. This means that you have to up your game when it comes to protecting your website content. You can prevent cyber attacks by controlling any form of data that comes from users.

At Grafana Labs, we are always working on optimizing query time on our Grafana Cloud hosted metrics platform, which incorporates our Metrictank Graphite-compatible metrics service, and Cortex, the open source project for multitenant, horizontally scalable Prometheus-as-a-Service.

All engineering teams strive to build the best product they can as quickly as possible. Some, though, stumble into a false dichotomy of choosing between speed and quality. While that choice may have been necessary in the past, it’s not the case today. What I’d like to do in this article is explain why.

In this four-part series, Combating threats with UEBA, we explore hypothetical cyberattacks inspired by real-life events in four different industries: healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and education. We’ll take a look at unforeseen security attack scenarios, and discover how user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) can be leveraged to safeguard organizations.
