Why Tracking AI Overviews Is a Data Pipeline Problem, Not a Marketing One

Something quietly moved onto the ops backlog over the past eighteen months. Executives began asking whether the company appears in AI-generated search answers, and the request landed with whoever owns data collection rather than with the people who own the question.

How to Choose the Right Influencer Search Tool for Your Brand

Influencer marketing works for ecommerce brands because it borrows trust that already exists. A creator's audience has chosen to follow them, which is a very different starting point from a cold ad impression. For a WordPress or WooCommerce store, two things have to work together. You need to find relevant creators without spending a week on it, and you need the traffic they send to land somewhere that converts.

How Professionals Can Choose the Right Credit Card for Everyday Use

Many professionals manage routine expenses, including groceries, commuting, software subscriptions, and occasional travel. Because a credit card creates recurring costs and rewards, it deserves careful review. Interest should shape the decision. Bankrate reported an average U.S. credit card APR of 19.57% on July 22, 2026, down from a record high of 20.79% on August 14, 2024. Carrying a balance near that average can outweigh most rewards. The process below assumes you pay your statement balance in full each month.

The Waiting Game for Data Centre Capacity (And How UK Businesses Can Beat It)

UK data centre occupancy hit 91% in 2024, according to Arizton market data, and new capacity is not arriving fast enough to close the gap. Grid connection wait times for new projects now run between five and 15 years, reports Data Center Dynamics, and Savills has attributed the 11% year-on-year drop in new capacity delivery to power constraints rather than a lack of demand or investment.

How eBPF Observability Monitors Docker Containers Without a Rebuild

How many containers are running in your production environment right now that nobody can see inside? A vendored service, a compiled binary, an application whose build pipeline left with the developer who wrote it: each one runs, serves traffic, and reports nothing. Instrumenting those workloads means a code change, a rebuild, and a redeploy, and on these containers none of the three are available.

Splunk Pricing in 2026: Full Cost Breakdown (and How to Cut It)

Splunk charges you in one of two ways: by how much data you send it each day, or by how much compute your searches and dashboards use. Security teams pay for both the platform and Splunk Enterprise Security, the app that turns Splunk into a SIEM, which is priced separately on top. This guide breaks down every part of a 2026 Splunk bill, works through a real, sourced pricing example, and lays out the ways to bring the number down, including the one lever many teams overlook.

SEO isn't just a marketing KPI anymore. It's a security one.

On this episode of Masters of Data, we sat down with Patrick Kobly, who runs security for a boutique MSSP serving fintech, crypto, and gaming clients, to dig into how phishing has evolved past the obvious tells. Kobly walks through how attackers spin up reverse proxies behind Cloudflare, route through residential IPs to dodge reputation-based blocking, and can take a fake domain from registration to full attack in under five hours. The conversation turns into an unexpected case for treating SEO as a security discipline, since search rank and AI-generated results are now part of the attack surface too.
