OpenStack vs. VMware: Differences, Costs, and Backup Options

When it comes to managing your cloud infrastructure, picking the right platform can make a big difference in how smooth, scalable, and cost-effective your operations are. Two of the top contenders in this space are OpenStack and VMware. Both offer powerful tools for handling virtualized environments, but they suit different needs and preferences. Knowing the key differences between them is essential to help you make the best choice for your organization’s goals and technical needs.

What Is a Consolidated Cyber Security Platform and Why You Need One In 2024

Is there one cybersecurity tool to rule them all? For most companies, the answer is probably yes. A cybersecurity platform combines multiple security capabilities — endpoint security, threat response, event logging, and more—into a single system. There are Swiss Army knife cybersecurity platforms that perform a range of tasks, like extended detection and response (XDR), and platforms with more niche functions.

What is Endpoint Security?

Endpoints are a continuous target for threat actors. They serve as gateways to the overall network, meaning an attack that starts on a single endpoint can quickly spread across the attack surface. They offer a valuable entry point into an organization’s environment that can be used to launch sophisticated cyber attacks.

How Simulation Software Reduces Costs in Civil Engineering Projects

Simulation software has become a game-changer in the field of civil engineering, particularly when it comes to reducing costs in construction projects. By leveraging advanced technologies, civil engineers can optimize designs, streamline processes, and significantly cut down on expenses. Here's how simulation software contributes to cost savings in civil engineering.

FIN7 is Dead, Long Live FIN7 | Threat SnapShot

FIN7 is dead… right? In this week’s Threat SnapShot we breakdown a SentinelOne report on the group FIN7. We focus on detection strategies for their latest tools, covering three main tools: Powertrash (an obfuscated PowerShell script for payload loading), a batch script for persistence, and AU Kill (an antivirus neutralizer). For each tool, we explain its function and offer specific detection methods.
