In 2020, a DevOps team at a mid-sized fintech startup almost lost its entire source code. A failed container update caused a cascading failure in their self-hosted GitLab instance. The backup was… somewhere. No one checked it in weeks. The recovery process took three days. The cost was around $70,000 in downtime and customer compensation. The event wasn’t a matter of not having a backup strategy. It was a matter of assuming someone, somewhere, had run the proper function at the right time.

Backup Guide For Jira Automation Rules

It’s no news that Jira Automation Rules (JAR) sit at the center of how teams choose to streamline work. They triage requests and escalate incidents. At the same time, they keep systems running smoothly without requiring human intervention. For teams managing ITSM, DevOps, and cross-functional service operations, these rules are operational logic with many conveniences.

Dev Platform Breaches: How GitHub, Jira & Confluence Exposed Mercedes, Apple, Disney & Others

Welcome to the DevOps multiverse. Here, code is currency, while platforms like GitHub, Jira, and Confluence power critical infrastructure. Here, even the smallest misstep can trigger a chain reaction measured in gigabytes of leaked data, thousands of compromised credentials, and millions of dollars in financial losses, not to mention reputational damage. These risks aren’t theoretical.

How to protect your Finance and Banking DevOps data

Fintech and banking ranked among the top three most targeted industries in 2024, according to the CISO’s guide to DevOps threats. Real-world incidents underscore this trend: Byte Federal, the leading Bitcoin ATM operator in the U.S., suffered a breach linked to a GitLab vulnerability. Meanwhile, financial software provider Iress and crypto wallet company Ginco were both targeted by threat actors exploiting GitHub repositories. Source: 2024 DevOps Threats Unwrapped.

Modern Platforms Deserve Modern Protection: A Deleted VM's Wake-Up Call

Modern platforms demand modern protection. As organizations adopt Kubernetes, OpenShift, and hybrid cloud environments, legacy backup tools—designed for static, VM-only systems—fall short. Today’s applications span containers, VMs, and dynamic cloud-native services. Protecting OpenShift Virtualization requires more than basic snapshots or namespace-level restores—it requires precision.

Recovering Entra ID with Veeam

In my previous post, we explored the reasons and methods for safeguarding Microsoft Entra ID data using Veeam Backup & Replication. While having secure, encrypted backups is essential, their value diminishes if you can’t restore them when it matters most. In this post, we’ll dive into the recovery process step by step. If you’ll remember there are a number of object types within Entra ID that can be protected at this time and they are.
