Microsoft 365 backup vs. retention for cloud data protection

Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) is a critical platform for modern organizations, enabling collaboration across email, file sharing, and communication tools. While it includes built-in data protection features such as retention policies, many organizations make a common mistake: They assume retention is the same as backup.

Centralized DNS security policies for protecting remote and roaming clients with DDI Central

For decades, enterprise security architecture rested on a comforting fiction: that inside the network and outside the network meant something. The user on the corporate LAN was protected. The user anywhere else was somebody else's problem. Then the workforce stopped sitting still. Hybrid work, branch sprawl, BYOD, contractor laptops, field engineers, sales teams permanently on the road—your workforce stopped being a place and became a population.

C3PAO Wait Times: How to Get Scheduled in Time

The culmination of all of your efforts to implement CMMC rules as per your DoD contracts is the audit. Hiring a C3PAO and having your systems and security reviewed, so you can earn your certification and start working in the defense ecosystem, is the capstone to the long and arduous process. Unfortunately, many companies encounter a serious problem when it comes time to hire their C3PAO: the timeline.

3 Principles to Safely Scale Agentic AI

AI is moving from experimentation to execution. What started as copilots is quickly evolving into autonomous AI agents that can make decisions, execute tasks, and operate across enterprise environments. As organizations accelerate adoption of agentic AI, they’re expanding their attack surface in ways traditional security models weren’t built to handle.

Is platform engineering just DevOps with a new name, or is something operationally different happening?

Platform engineering is the practice of building and maintaining a centralized internal developer platform (IDP), a curated set of tools, workflows, and self-service capabilities that application teams consume rather than configure on their own. It's a structural response to how DevOps practices evolve at scale, particularly when "you build it, you run it" introduces more cognitive load than individual development teams can sustainably manage.

How miniOrange User Sync/SCIM Automates User Provisioning for Atlassian

Managing users in Atlassian manually, especially with large numbers of users, is time-consuming and error-prone. It’s inconvenient, but more importantly, it introduces major security risks in case an ex-employee still has access. Also, there’s no point in paying for extra licenses. miniOrange User Provisioning for Atlassian addresses this. It synchronizes users, groups, and directories directly from their identity providers into Jira and related Atlassian applications.

Automation, Intent, and Ownership: What to Learn from the AI Agent Security Summit

When the AI Agent Security Summit launched in San Francisco last October, agent-based threats had already escalated from a novel consideration to a predominant blocker for enterprise adoption. The security community was laser-focused on recognizing and minimizing the blast radius posed by agentic vulnerabilities, whether that meant indirect prompt injection, MCP poisoning, or hallucinations.

How to Eliminate Shared Database Passwords: MySQL, PostgreSQL, and More

Traditionally, engineers have relied on shared database passwords. When someone needs to run a query, they either already have standing access granted via a static credential everyone on the team knows, or someone has to scramble to create a quick workaround. Every new user, exception rule, or port forward through a bastion host becomes a “just this once” fix.
