Apache SkyWalking is one of the most widely adopted open-source Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and observability platforms, trusted by developers and DevOps teams to visualize telemetry, trace distributed systems, and ensure application uptime. However, a recently disclosed vulnerability has revealed that the very dashboards designed to improve visibility could be turned into attack vectors.

Synology and Acronis announced a joint collaboration to enhance customer data security. All Synology BeeDrive, BeeStation, and BeeStation Plus product lines now include a three-year license to Acronis True Image Essentials for one computer.

When you decide to migrate your system, the goal is to move everything, including your operating system, applications, data and even personal settings, to a new storage device while preserving how things looked, worked and felt before. With the right migration software, you can easily do that and move from an older HDD to a faster new SSD, a larger HDD or a new computer with minimal effort and without spending countless hours manually rebuilding everything from scratch.

In our hyperconnected landscape, software vulnerabilities are proliferating at a record pace. In 2024 alone, more than 40,000 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) were published, marking a 38% increase over the previous year. Many of these vulnerabilities are weaponized within days, leaving organizations exposed if updates are not applied immediately. Patch management software addresses this risk by automating the detection, acquisition, and deployment of software updates across an IT environment.

Platform teams are tasked with keeping clusters secure and observable while navigating a skills gap. At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, The New Stack spoke with Ratan Tipirneni, President and CEO of Tigera, about the future of Kubernetes security, AI-driven operations, and emerging trends in enterprise networking. The highlights from that discussion are summarized below.

Claude Skills is a new feature from Anthropic that has gained rapid adoption, with more than 17,000+ GitHub stars already since its launch in October 2025, allowing users to create and share custom code modules that expand Claude’s capabilities and streamline workflows. But as this ecosystem grows, Cato CTRL uncovered a serious oversight into how Skills are executed.

The network and information security directive 2 (NIS2) is an EU-wide cybersecurity law that contains strengthened cybersecurity regulations and is a general set of mandatory security requirements aimed at already identified critical and important sectors.
