Network security uses physical and software security solutions to protect network infrastructure from unauthorized access, misuse, failure, alteration, disruption, or unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data. Network security involves implementing security policies, procedures, and tools to prevent unauthorized persons and programs from accessing a network, connected devices, and network traffic. Network security applies to both public […]
Analyzing Kubernetes Operational Data
Kubernetes is an infrastructure platform commonly used in modern IT environments. It supports cloud-native applications and offers many benefits but also introduces complexities and operational challenges. Operating Kubernetes reliably requires detecting errors and fixing them quickly. You can only achieve this by establishing visibility into your containerized environments. Monitoring Kubernetes provides access to operational metrics, helping […]
Azure Data Migration: 5 Tools to Know About
With many organizations migrating their critical workloads to cloud environments, choosing the appropriate data migration solutions is increasingly important. Identifying the right tools is a key step in the data migration process. There are several use cases and possible scenarios for a data migration project.

Top Cloud Security Challenges and How to Overcome Them
Cloud security is composed of a set of policies, controls, processes, and technologies that work together to protect cloud-based infrastructure, systems, and data. These security measures are configured to protect data, support regulatory compliance, protect customer privacy, and set authentication rules for individual users. Cloud security is a critical consideration as organizations migrate workloads to the […]
Open-Source Cloud Databases: Security Best Practices
A cloud database runs on a cloud computing platform that delivers it to users as a service. Cloud services offer various cloud databases, including SQL and NoSQL databases. Here are the two main cloud database deployment models: Use a virtual machine (VM) to run your databases on the cloud privately Purchase access to a database […]

Microsoft Azure Storage is a cloud-based storage service that provides organizations with a variety of storage solutions. Azure Storage provides: Cloud-based file sharing Message storage NoSQL storage Virtual machine disk storage Highly scalable object storage All storage products offered through Azure Storage are designed for high availability and redundancy. The underlying hardware that supports Azure Storage provides redundancy in […]
Why Zero Trust and XDR Are the Future of Data Security
Zero trust is a data security model that aims to protect networks against all devices and users. The model assumes that any device and user can be compromised at any time, and therefore should not be trusted even if they were previously authenticated. Traditional data security approaches use firewalls and virtual private networks (VPNs) to […]
Optimizing Cost on Azure with Spot Instances
Azure Spot Virtual Machines (VMs) enable you to leverage unused Azure cloud capacity, offered at significantly low rates. Discounts vary but can get to 90% off the on-demand price. Spot VMs create a win-win situation – Azure gains customers for underutilized capacity, and customers get discounts that lower their cloud costs. Azure Spot Instances: Pros and […]
