Microsoft 365 Disaster Recovery best practices

We can all agree that Microsoft 365 powers the daily operations of many modern organizations. These often include data critical for business continuity, which simply flows through Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint; therefore, even a short service outage could negatively impact productivity or regulatory compliance. However, despite its importance, disaster recovery, or DR, for Microsoft Office is often misunderstood or assumed to be fully covered by Microsoft.

The Reality Check Most IT Admins Won't Say Out Loud (But Deal With Daily)

Too many tools. Uncertain backups. DR plans no one has tested in months. We recently ran a survey with IT admins and sysadmins across the globe. But we didn’t stop there. We dug deeper into forums, community threads, and real-world war stories from IT trenches.

Back Up With Care, But Neglecting Patches can Leave You in Despair!

CVE-2024-7348, which was discovered by Noah Misch, is a race condition vulnerability affecting multiple versions of PostgreSQL when using the `pg_dump` utility. An attacker with sufficient privileges can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL commands with the permission of the user, which is typically a superuser, running the dump.

Enterprise SAN Data Recovery: Protecting Critical Systems from Catastrophic Loss

The current world of business is a world of the digital age, where enterprise operations are greatly dependent on the constant availability of data. With the growth of organizations ' storage facilities, Storage Area Networks (SANs) have worked as the medium of fast, scalable, and reliable access to data. Nevertheless, SAN systems are pretty dangerous when they break down (be it a system hardware trouble, hacking, or human negligence), as the consequences may be disastrous.

The Power of Scheduled Automated Backups for DevOps and SaaS

In 2020, a DevOps team at a mid-sized fintech startup almost lost its entire source code. A failed container update caused a cascading failure in their self-hosted GitLab instance. The backup was… somewhere. No one checked it in weeks. The recovery process took three days. The cost was around $70,000 in downtime and customer compensation. The event wasn’t a matter of not having a backup strategy. It was a matter of assuming someone, somewhere, had run the proper function at the right time.

Air-Gapped Kubernetes Backup for Regulated Industries: Securing Compliance and Resilience

Kubernetes regulated industries—such as finance, government, and healthcare—operate under strict data protection and compliance mandates. While Kubernetes enables agility and scalability, its dynamic and ephemeral nature makes safeguarding data more complex.

Backup Guide For Jira Automation Rules

It’s no news that Jira Automation Rules (JAR) sit at the center of how teams choose to streamline work. They triage requests and escalate incidents. At the same time, they keep systems running smoothly without requiring human intervention. For teams managing ITSM, DevOps, and cross-functional service operations, these rules are operational logic with many conveniences.

Dev Platform Breaches: How GitHub, Jira & Confluence Exposed Mercedes, Apple, Disney & Others

Welcome to the DevOps multiverse. Here, code is currency, while platforms like GitHub, Jira, and Confluence power critical infrastructure. Here, even the smallest misstep can trigger a chain reaction measured in gigabytes of leaked data, thousands of compromised credentials, and millions of dollars in financial losses, not to mention reputational damage. These risks aren’t theoretical.

How to protect your Finance and Banking DevOps data

Fintech and banking ranked among the top three most targeted industries in 2024, according to the CISO’s guide to DevOps threats. Real-world incidents underscore this trend: Byte Federal, the leading Bitcoin ATM operator in the U.S., suffered a breach linked to a GitLab vulnerability. Meanwhile, financial software provider Iress and crypto wallet company Ginco were both targeted by threat actors exploiting GitHub repositories. Source: 2024 DevOps Threats Unwrapped.
