Kernel-Level Visibility Without Instrumentation: What eBPF Changes for Container Security

Containers have changed how applications are built and deployed, but they have also made security visibility more difficult. Workloads are short-lived, services communicate constantly, and application behavior is distributed across containers, nodes, APIs, processes, and open-source dependencies. This is why many security teams are pairing eBPF with application-level runtime security. eBPF observes activity from the Linux kernel without requiring teams to modify every application, while runtime application security explains which code caused that activity.

What Does End-to-End Quality Management Look Like in Modern Manufacturing?

Manufacturers manage inspections, supplier performance, audits, corrective actions, and compliance activities every day. Separate systems and manual processes can slow decisions, create duplicate records, and reduce visibility across operations. A connected quality approach helps teams maintain consistent standards while improving efficiency throughout the organisation.

How a Shared Case Dashboard Keeps Hundreds of Court Dates Straight

Walk into the operations floor of a large regional law firm on any given morning and the first thing you notice is not the stacks of paper you might expect. It is the wall of monitors, each one displaying a rolling feed of court dates, filing deadlines, and case statuses updated in real time. For firms handling volume caseloads, especially those built around traffic and misdemeanor defense, this kind of shared visibility has become the backbone of daily operations. The technology behind it did not arrive overnight, but its effect on how large practices manage hundreds of active matters at once has been substantial.

How AI-Powered College Quiz Tools Are Changing the Way Students Choose Their Path

Choosing a college major or a career direction used to feel like guesswork for most students. You would talk to a school counselor for fifteen minutes, take a personality test from a textbook, or simply pick whatever your parents or friends suggested. Today, that process looks very different. Many students now start their search with a college quiz match, an online tool that asks a series of questions about interests, strengths, and goals, then suggests majors, career paths, or even specific schools that fit the answers.

Toil Reduction Outside the Data Center: Lessons From the Clinical Front Office

Ask an operations team where the week went, and you'll usually get a list of things that shouldn't have needed a person. Access requests provisioned by hand. A disk cleared for the ninth time this quarter. Certificates rotated one at a time because the renewal script was scoped, estimated, and never finished. None of it is difficult, and all of it is necessary. And at the end of the quarter there's nothing to point at, because the work left no trace beyond the absence of an outage.

An Agent Is Only as Good as the Baseline It Reasons Against

Every vendor in networking has an agent story right now. The useful question for an operations leader is which of those agents can plan, act, and verify against a trustworthy model of the network, and which are assistants that retrieve and suggest, then leave the decision to a person. The direction of travel is settled.

Open source for Europe's space missions

Every space mission begins long before launch day. Ideas become spacecraft. Thousands of decisions are made before a single engine ignites. The European Space Agency (ESA) knows what that journey looks like. As the agency prepares to increase the missions it supports by 2030, it is laying the groundwork for decades of future exploration. Working with Canonical, ESA is building a common platform for mission operations based on open source. Kubernetes, Ceph, PostgreSQL, and Kafka form ESA’s infrastructure foundation.
