Nowadays, staff in organizations are required to access multiple applications in their infrastructure. This can lead to the user having to manage multiple login credentials and passwords. There are many solutions available that provide a single sign-on (SSO) capability — such as Okta, LDAP, and Active Directory — which is becoming common practice across businesses.

Data center managers often struggle to accurately track and manage their data center parts inventory. Legacy management tools like Excel spreadsheets are commonly used, but they fail to support the complexity and distributed nature of modern data center environments. They are hard to use, difficult to maintain, time-consuming, and error-prone.

As developers, we’re passionate about creating and delivering high-quality software to our end-users and customers. Simply knowing that our software was shipped, deployed, and is being used is a great achievement. And it looks like we did a good job. Everything around us in our lives depends on high-quality software. Software needs to run for us to get water, energy, electricity, transportation, food, etc. Developers have a huge responsibility to keep this software updated and running efficiently.

The JFrog Security research team continuously monitors popular open source software (OSS) repositories with our automated tooling to report vulnerable and malicious packages to repository maintainers. Earlier this year we disclosed several malicious packages targeting developers’ private data that were downloaded approximately 30K times. Today, we will share details about 11 new malware packages that we’ve recently discovered and disclosed to the PyPI maintainers (who promptly removed them).

Do you remember when all applications were on-premises applications? Do you remember quarterly BSA (The Software Alliance) audits and press releases that identified companies for being out of compliance? Do you remember when big software manufactures were in the news because they were auditing school districts for software compliance? Have you read about any of this recently? Probably not.

Complex incidents are both exhausting and commonplace. In this case, incidents that I am referring to as “complex” are incidents that involve multiple, disparate, notifications in your alert management platform. Perhaps these incidents are logically separated because the underlying systems or services were seen as less coupled than they turned out to be in reality.

IT is messy stuff. Enterprise applications and devices rely on a web of interdependent clouds, networks, and containers. IT operations (ITOps), development operations (DevOps), and cloud operations (CloudOps) engineers work hard to manage this mess. If they succeed, they create a stable, agile IT environment that makes their enterprise more productive. If they fail, their enterprise becomes less productive.

IT experts agree that log management and monitoring is one of the most effective ways to keep IT infrastructure performing optimally. Logs play a vital role in improving performance, enhancing security, and detecting issues. But at the same time, a lot of people don’t use logs to the best of their ability. This guide will not only introduce you to log management but also reveal which logs to track and what information they are giving to you.

Every company is a software company and every company wants to get better at it. That’s the reason we built Software Development Optimization or SDO. SDO helps you track siloed data across the DevOps toolchain. It normalizes and correlates data, provides you with DORA’s 4 key metrics and gives you deep insights into the velocity and quality of delivery across services and teams.
