One commonly used feature with Tines is the ability to configure your Actions to run on a schedule (docs). For example, an HTTP Request Action that runs every minute, once a day, or every few hours. Our customers rely heavily on this feature in carrying out their mission-critical workflows. In this post, we examine how our old job scheduler system worked, a very interesting race condition, and why we replaced our old scheduler with something more reliable to meet our delivery guarantees.

Gartner predicted that in three years, “80% of enterprises will have adopted a strategy to unify web, cloud services and private application access from a single vendor’s security service edge (SSE) platform.” It seems like it wasn’t too long ago that the security industry was recommending multiple vendors to safeguard your business. Now the pendulum swings the other way. Fortunately, it’s a healthy sign for the cybersecurity industry.

The education systems, including K-12 school institutions, are in the crosshairs of increasingly frequent and sophisticated cyberattacks. In just one month of 2021, educational organizations suffered more than 5.8 million malware incidents. Teachers, administrators and students are also targets as they use various devices such as laptops and smartphones to browse social media or send messages with friends and family.

At ThreatQuotient, we write a lot about security automation. Most recently, we’ve discussed how our data-driven approach to automation helps enable extended detection and response (XDR) in all phases of security operations including detection, investigation and response.

Whenever engineers discover a new security issue, the question arises every time: is this an exploit or vulnerability? What is a software vulnerability? How does it differ from an exploit? A vulnerability is a gap in the armor or weakness that allows people to enter. The exploit is the mechanism that someone uses to get in. For example, a door with a fragile lock has a vulnerability. The exploit uses the keys, hammer, or lockpick to break the lock.

Several companies aren't still aware of the fact that automated mobile app security testing brings better ROI than manual testing. Perhaps, they don't know what aspects of automation testing directly or indirectly impact the ROI. However, we got you covered. This blog discusses three almost hidden ways in which automation testing impacts and holds the potential to improve your ROI. And by the end, you'll be convinced to transition to complete automation testing.

Crypto miners are determined in their objective of mining in other people's resources. Proof of this is one of the latest samples identified with AT&T Alien Labs, with at least 100 different loaders and at least 4 different stages to ensure their miner and backdoor run smoothly in the infected systems.
