What can bring together development and operation teams better than DevOps, a prevalent agile methodology? It involves new management principles, cultural change, and technology tools that boost the team’s development, collaboration, and productivity while they cooperate on software development.

Security teams spend enormous effort deploying security controls. Endpoint protection tools. Network monitoring platforms. Identity security solutions. Detection systems. Logging platforms. The list continues to grow every year. But here’s the uncomfortable question many organizations eventually face: Are those controls actually working the way we expect? Security tools can generate alerts, dashboards, and metrics.

At Nutanix.NEXT, we’re excited to announce that CloudCasa is launching in the NKP Partner Catalog, giving Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solution users an easier way to add Kubernetes-native backup, recovery, disaster recovery, and migration to their environments. This launch builds on CloudCasa’s existing Nutanix Ready foundation and extends that value even further by making CloudCasa available through the NKP Partner Catalog.

Most organizations don’t struggle with managing devices in the beginning. A few laptops, some smartphones and tablets, everything feels under control. The problem starts when things scale. More devices get added. Teams start working remotely. Different operating systems and use cases come into play. Over time, it becomes harder to track what’s connected, what’s updated, and what’s secure. That’s when endpoint management stops being optional.

For years, vulnerability management has followed a familiar pattern: discover assets, scan for CVEs, prioritize by severity, and remediate what you can. That model works, at least within the boundaries of systems you own. The problem is that most organizations no longer operate within those boundaries. Federal agencies especially depend on a complex ecosystem of SaaS platforms, software vendors, contractors, and open-source components.

The NIST AI Risk Management Framework is a guide that helps organizations spot and reduce risks in AI systems. This framework was released in January 2023 by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. The framework is built around four key steps, namely: Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage, and is meant to help teams responsibly use AI. It doesn’t matter which industry you work in or which AI you use; this framework works everywhere.

AI-assisted development helps teams write code faster, but that speed comes with added security risk. As agents generate more code, they can introduce vulnerabilities, insecure dependencies, or exposed secrets, often before a human reviewer ever sees the change. Security teams are left reviewing more code with the same resources, which makes it harder to catch issues early.

Mend.io’s new Docker Hardened Images integration brings DHI intelligence directly into the AppSec workflow, giving a smarter, faster path to container security. Container scanning has a noise problem. Run a standard scan against any production image, and you’ll surface thousands of CVEs.

Security teams are collecting more telemetry across endpoints, cloud workloads, and SaaS platforms, but the cost of bringing that data into the SIEM keeps rising. What used to be a straightforward operational decision has become a central budget challenge. Security teams are not struggling with collecting data, they are struggling with affording to keep it, and when ingestion cost drives visibility decisions, the SOC loses ground.
