A Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server. Watch this short video to learn more about DDoS attacks and how you can protect yourself.
Many people use the deep web without knowing it, but what about the dark web? Watch this short video to learn the key differences between the deep web and the dark web, why the dark web is riskier and how to keep your information safe.
Endpoints, which are physical devices like laptops, desktops and mobile phones that connect to a network, are valuable targets for cybercriminals and are often the weakest links in an organization’s security posture. Enforcing the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) on these endpoints is essential to reducing attack surfaces, preventing lateral movement and minimizing potential damage caused by compromised accounts.
Picture this: You’re at the supermarket, looking for your favorite brand of cereal. But the shelves are empty, staff are frazzled, and the checkout terminals are flickering ominously. That’s not just a supply chain hiccup, it’s a direct result of the latest wave of cyberattacks targeting the UK’s biggest grocery chains.
As organizations race to adopt artificial intelligence, many overlook a key success factor: Organizational Change Management (OCM). While AI governance and compliance frameworks provide the structure—policies, controls, and oversight, OCM addresses the human factors that brings these frameworks to life. AI governance requires more than technical controls; it demands cultural alignment, ethical awareness, and behavioral change across the enterprise. That’s where OCM becomes critical.
Organizations often lack a complete, up-to-date inventory of their IT assets – servers, endpoints, cloud instances, IoT devices, and more – creating security blind spots. Attackers exploit these unknown devices and outdated systems. Without knowing “what you have, you can’t protect it.” Poor asset visibility dramatically increases risk: you’re slower to spot breaches, can’t prioritize defenses, and may fail compliance checks.
Is your security team stopping threats before they enter, or just reacting after damage happens? Because in the current era of advanced cyber threats, a reactive approach isn’t enough. There must be a proactive defense strategy, fueled by threat intelligence! Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions help organizations stop attackers, spot weaknesses, and stay protected with cyber threat intelligence data.
In most companies, Security and SRE organizations are distinctly separate entities and often fall under different executive branches of the company. The work of Security and SRE organizations may appear different, but their goals are the same: keep the company running. This separated structure hinders collaboration, but what if you could change it? Over the past year, Datadog has joined our SRE and Security teams together in a single organization unifying all aspects of reliability.
In this video, I’m checking out the brand new Cursor 1.0 release and testing one of its most exciting new features — the one-click MCP install. Setting up MCP servers has never been this easy! Join me as I walk through the process, share my first impressions, and see how smooth (or not) the setup really is. If you’ve been curious about Cursor or want to simplify your MCP workflows, this one’s for you.
AI Agents have become one of the most discussed emerging technologies in enterprise environments, and now, they’ve captured the attention of policymakers in Washington, DC. Over the past several weeks, a series of developments have brought AI Agents into the national spotlight, particularly through the lens of cybersecurity and regulatory preparedness.
