Cryptographic failures have a knack for turning a quiet weekend into a chaotic, all-hands-on-deck emergency. Consider the SHA-1 to SHA-2 deprecation, sometimes referred to as “Shapocalypse,” which sent teams scrambling to reissue thousands of certificates and exposed how many legacy systems weren’t ready for stronger hash algorithms. The major Certificate Authority (CA) distrust events involving DigiNotar in 2011, Symantec in 2017-18, and Entrust in 2024-25 created similar disruption.

Growth is the ultimate goal for almost every business. For many long-established organizations, the quickest path to that goal is through acquisition. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) open doors to new markets, new capabilities, and new revenue streams. However, for the IT teams responsible for integrating these new entities, the reality is often less about celebration and more about survival.

We are excited to announce the release of BDRShield v9.0.0, a milestone update that fundamentally changes how organizations manage virtualized, distributed, and multi-geo backup environments from the BDRShield Cloud management...

Apologies for the nested parentheses. This isn’t a joke. The project really has gone through this many names already! Check out why in their Naming Journey.

Many DevOps and security teams rely on ServiceNow CMDB (Configuration Management Database) as the system of record for metadata about infrastructure assets, application and service ownership, and dependencies. ServiceNow CMDB captures which team owns each service, what business unit the service supports, the environment where it runs, and how assets relate to each other.

Endpoint threats no longer appear with warning signs. They now blend into normal activity, making detection difficult. Once inside, these threats move quietly across systems without being noticed. By the time security teams notice them, damage is already done. This shift has led to the rise of Endpoint Detection and Response. But EDR alone was not sufficient in many cases. This is when Managed EDR was introduced to fill that gap.

In agentic architectures, model behavior is guided by a combination of system prompts, retrieved context, and tool-related inputs rather than a single instruction source. When signals conflict or include untrusted instructions, models must infer which inputs to follow. This ambiguity exposes an opening for prompt injection attacks.

Ask five compliance leads in the gaming industry how 6.4.3 applies to their payment flows, and you’ll get five different answers. Ever since PCI v4.0.1 has come into effect, gaming and iGaming operators have been struggling to identify where they fall in scope, which SAQ paths apply to their specific architecture, and if Requirement 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 apply to them or their payment processors.

While the objective of protecting personal data is to be lauded, the current setup in the US is one of the most complex in the world. Twenty states. Twenty different thresholds and definitions. ‘Sale’ means one thing in California, another in Virginia. Tracking 275 daily website visitors puts you in scope for CCPA/CPRA, but not Tennessee’s law. 274 keeps you out of both. Just determining if a law even applies has become a legitimate challenge for businesses.

Containerization vs virtualization is a decision that impacts your infrastructure’s performance, scalability, and costs. Both technologies isolate applications and optimize resources, but they work differently. Virtualization creates full virtual machines with separate operating systems; containerization packages applications with only the dependencies they need.
