Challenges in Monitoring Web Applications That Utilize SSO

With enterprise solutions and consumer technology platforms offering an array of applications, a need arises to securely navigate between different applications within the same product suite, and on role-based access. Single sign-on (SSO) is a solution to implement a centralized authentication system, and maintains an authenticated session to access multiple applications in a product suite without having the need of entering user credentials every time.

How to manage data in hybrid cloud environments

This article was originally published on DevOps.com. We’ve long-since established that multi-generational, multi-cloud environments are the new norm. But how does one go about managing data in those environments? In this post, we’ll take a look at the ramifications of this hybrid cloud reality and best practices for managing your data for increased scalability and heightened availability.

Why Website Maintenance? The Best Practices for Peak Site Performance

If you have a website, you almost certainly want it to function at its best. In today's digital age, having a website is essential to businesses of all sizes - and it is just as important to maintain those sites. A well-maintained website is crucial for its optimal performance. If you want to grow your number of visitors, maintain search engine rankings, and improve your branding, it's always best to have a solid maintenance plan in place.

Giraffe Visualization Library and InfluxDB

Giraffe is the open source React-based visualization library that’s used to implement InfluxDB’s v2 UI. It employs clever algorithms to handle the challenge of visualizing the incredibly high volume of data that InfluxDB can ingest and query. We’ve just published documentation describing how developers can take advantage of this library and I’ve tried to create a companion tutorial to further illustrate the power of this library.

Splunk: Five Lessons in SOC Modernization: Real Security Transformation Stories

Outdated solutions produce volumes of security alerts, yet security teams struggle to accurately detect high-priority threats because of the amount of noise. Compound this reality with compliance mandates, budget uncertainties, as well as staff shortages and skills gaps, and it becomes readily apparent why security professionals are looking for new solutions. This is why modernizing Security Operations Centers (SOCs) to maximize productivity and effectiveness has become a top priority for organizations around the globe.

Splunk: What's Financial Services Data Really Worth?

In financial services, data is everything. From real-time risk monitoring and fraud detection to omnichannel customer visibility, data drives success. In fact, our cross-industry research with ESG into data maturity finds that financial services firms rank second only to tech companies (among eight verticals) for data investment and "data-obsessed" culture. But being data-obsessed requires more than adding big data tools to the stack. To focus on data quality and making intelligent use of your data, you have to revisit your cross-functional data strategy.

Splunk: Why Digital Transformation Now Requires an AIOps Strategy To Succeed

Why Digital Transformation Now Requires an AIOps Strategy To Succeed Cloud may no longer be a buzzword, but AIOps still is. This needs to change, now more than ever, as operations can no longer be run at an analog speed. Most of today's digital transformation projects demand a pace, scale and volume of data generation that IT Operations just can't manage without the help of AI and ML. Pair this technological acceleration with an apparent data center staff crisis - 61% of respondents to an Uptime Institute survey said they have difficulty retaining or recruiting staff - and many organizations are (or soon will be) finding themselves in desperate need of a pragmatic AIOps adoption path, and shift in mindset.
