The Top 10 Problems with Vulnerability Management | Security Insights, Ep. 48

The Top 10 Problems with Vulnerability Management | Security Insights, Ep. 48 Vulnerability management is not for the faint of heart. The pitfalls are many, and odds are you probably have at least one of these issues. Ivanti's Chris Goettl and Robert Waters run down the list of what can get in the way of vulnerability management done well -- from attack surface visibility to data overload and resource constraints -- all with an eye on how those problems can be addressed. (Which we'll have more on next time. We promise.)

[Webinar] Kubernetes Health Management with Komodor

Modern Kubernetes environments are increasingly growing in scale and complexity. While application performance monitoring and infra-observability tools were once sufficient to maintain reliability, they are ill-equipped to handle the distributed and ever-changing nature of dozens or hundreds of Kubernetes clusters.

Nginx Logging: A Complete Guide for Beginners

So, you're wrestling with Nginx logs, huh? Been there. In fact, I used to spend way too much time hunting down log files until I finally got smart about it. Let me save you the trouble. Nginx logs are like the black box flight recorder for your web server. When everything crashes and burns (and it will), those logs are often the only evidence left to figure out what happened. But first, you need to know where to find them.

Prometheus API: From Basics to Advanced Usage

Monitoring your infrastructure shouldn’t be a shot in the dark. The Prometheus API helps you pull the right metrics so you actually know what’s going on. Whether you’re just getting started or trying to make sense of your current setup, this guide breaks down how to use the API to get the answers you need—without the guesswork.

RMAs should never result from software issues

Many hardware companies lose millions on RMAs and warranty returns, often replacing devices when a software update could have fixed the issue. Without data, it is hard to know what is really a hardware failure and what is just a software bug. Observability changes that by helping companies diagnose issues remotely, cut unnecessary returns, and keep margins intact.

Is Your Incident Management Tool a Single Point of Failure? The Case for a Multi-Channel Approach

When we’re talking about incidents, we know it’s not a matter of if, but when. It spares no systems: ours, yours or your vendors’. We’ve all seen widely-used products experience incidents, and the domino effect it has on all operations relying on them for seamless functionality. Vendors offering narrow, chat-centered incident management tools might seem attractive at first glance, but they fundamentally misunderstand the complexity of enterprise operations.

Managing Multi-Region Networks with Confidence

Managing cloud networks today is like navigating a city without street signs—unpredictable and chaotic. As enterprises expand their cloud presence, they face a surge in IP addresses across regions, leaving traditional methods like spreadsheets and fragmented tools unable to keep up. Modern cloud infrastructure demands smarter, more scalable network management to tackle challenges such as IP sprawl, inconsistent configurations, and lack of visibility.

Drift Detection in Kubernetes

When the increasingly popular strategy of configuration as code (CaC) is used to develop infrastructure, it’s known as infrastructure as code (IaC). Today, IaC is quickly becoming entrenched in development processes, especially in conjunction with Terraform and Kubernetes. Yet, although IaC (and CaC) bring immense value, they can also lead to a major problem: configuration drift.

How to Monitor Distributed Networks: The Essential Guide

Traditional centralized networks are a thing of the past—distributed networks have taken over. Why? Because they’re built to handle today’s cloud-based services and SaaS apps way more effectively. In a world where businesses operate across the globe and data moves in real time, distributed networks have become the foundation of modern IT.

Master CMMC 2.0 Compliance and Stay Ahead in Your Industry

The landscape of cybersecurity is constantly evolving, and businesses must adapt to stay ahead of potential threats. One of the most critical standards organizations can comply with is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0. This compliance framework helps businesses safeguard sensitive information, especially within the Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies. The updated version, CMMC 2.0, streamlines the process while maintaining a robust level of security.
