Multi-Cloud Security: Proven Methods for Safeguarding Data

As organizations increasingly adopt diverse cloud services to meet their varying computational and storage needs, multi-cloud security emerges as a critical concern. “In 2024, a majority of organizations (78%) are opting for hybrid and multi-cloud strategies. Of those organizations, 43% use a hybrid of cloud and on-premises infrastructure, and 35% have a multi-cloud strategy,” according to the 2024 Fortinet Cloud Security Report.

How to Compare the Effectiveness of PII Scanning and Masking Models

When evaluating models or products for their ability to scan and mask Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in your data, it's crucial to follow a systematic approach. Let’s assume you have a dataset with 1,000,000 rows, and you want to scan and mask each row.

ThreatSync+ NDR: Bringing AI-Driven Threat Detection to Every Business

In a world where cybersecurity threats are ever evolving and increasingly sophisticated, businesses of all sizes need robust solutions to protect their networks. However, these solutions have traditionally been costly and complex. WatchGuard is changing that tradition with the launch of its new ThreatSync+ Network Detection and Response (NDR) solution.

How to evaluate AI features in workflow automation platforms

If you’ve been paying attention to the latest AI product releases or evaluating AI tools for your teams, you’ll probably have noticed how difficult it is to distinguish between hype and reality. Vendors are under an enormous amount of pressure to deliver AI features, and, as a result, many of these new tools feel rushed and fragile, and simply aren’t capable of solving important, real-world problems.

When to Use Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) vs. Fine-tuning for LLMs

Developers often use two prominent techniques for enhancing the performance of large language models (LLMs) are Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and fine-tuning. Understanding when to use one over the other is crucial for maximizing efficiency and effectiveness in various applications. This blog explores the circumstances under which each method shines and highlights one key advantage of each approach.

Why Is Manual Testing a Thing of the Past?

Before end-to-end (E2E) testing frameworks, the software development industry struggled with fragmented and inefficient testing methods. Testing was manual, labor-intensive, and prone to human error, which limited testing coverage and left many critical issues undetected until later stages of development. This manual approach relied heavily on developers and testers executing test cases by hand, leading to substantial inefficiencies and incomplete test coverage.

Playing Around with AWS-Vault for Fun & Profit

AWS-Vault is an excellent open-source tool by 99Designs that enables developers to store AWS credentials in their machine keystore securely. After using it for a while at Jit, I decided to dig deeper into how it works and learned a lot along the way. In this article, I will summarize and simplify the information I learned to help others with their aws-vault adoption and lower the barrier to usage.

How To Protect Your Data if Your Phone Is Lost or Stolen

If your phone is ever lost or stolen, your data could be at risk of being compromised. One of the main ways your stored data could be in danger is if you have a weak passcode, such as 0000 or 1234. If the person who found or stole your phone could guess your passcode, your data would become compromised. Read below to learn more about how to protect your phone when it’s lost or stolen and how to keep your phone’s data safe.

Why Do You Need Cloud-Based DDoS Protection?

The cloud offers unparalleled flexibility and scalability, from data storage to maintaining an online presence. However, this increased reliance on cloud infrastructure also brings heightened risks, particularly from DDoS attacks. Recent incidents underscore the urgent need for robust DDoS protection. For instance, the HTTP/2-based DDoS attack peaked last August, reaching over 398 million requests per second.
