Confluence is used to store some of the most important knowledge across many organizations, such as technical docs, internal procedures, compliance materials, customer information, and even recovery instructions. This article explains the most important Confluence security best practices, how they differ from Jira security, and why backup and recovery should be part of a complete Confluence data protection strategy.

The new 2.4.0 release delivers complete protection for your entire Quality Assurance (QA) workloads in Azure DevOps. Teams on platforms hosted locally in Windows can now secure them with the AES encryption compliant with the federal, enterprise-grade FIPS standards. This release also packs other notable upgrades, including seamless Active Directory integration, a smarter repository exclusion mechanism, and full German language support. Dive into the full breakdown below.

Healthcare cybersecurity is usually discussed in terms of patient data and regulations like HIPAA. But software teams in healthcare need to protect the development layer with the same rigor. After an incident, teams need a trusted record of the codebase and the project context around it. Without this safeguard, they’re guessing at what changed and what’s safe to restore.

SUMMARY – If you lose your.tf files, your Infrastructure as Code (IaC) stays up, but becomes entirely unmanaged.– Having a backup saves your team from weeks of manually reverse-engineering code to hit your RTO.– Your automated deployments rely entirely on the IaC—if the code vanishes, your CI/CD instantly stalls.– The Git commit history is the exact proof you need to pass strict audits like NIS2, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.– Setting up a dedicated Terraform backup means you c

SUMMARY For a long time, the classic 3-2-1 backup rule was the industry standard. It served IT professionals incredibly well. But as the threat landscape evolves, your defenses need to evolve with it. To truly protect your intellectual property and guarantee that your teams can keep working no matter what happens, your company should consider upgrading to the ransomware-ready 3-2-1-1-0 rule.

SUMMARY – Inactive repositories are often mistaken for harmless dead code, but they are actually open doors into your network.– Threat actors do not search manually; they use automated scanners to parse thousands of files and extract secret patterns, access keys, and credentials.– The root of this vulnerability is an organizational lack of ownership and a missing lifecycle for code that is no longer actively developed.– Discover a practical DevSecOps approach to secure your shadow

Which industries are attracting the most attention from cybercriminals today? According to the DevOps Threats Unwrapped Report 2026, Technology and Software organizations remained the most targeted sector. This finding is consistent with our previous research in the 2024 CISO’s Guide to DevOps Threats, showing that attackers continue to focus heavily on organizations that build, manage, and distribute software. What changed, however, was the composition of the industries that followed close behind.
