Informationweek Does DevSecOps Require Observability to Get the Job Done? A panel at DeveloperWeek took a look at potential exposure organizations may face if their DevSecOps cycle does not include observability of apps.

What are Supply Chain Attacks, and How to Guard Against Them The three basic categories of supply chain attacks, why they’re especially devastating, and what can be done to guard against them. Remediation of the fallout from the massive breach of SolarWinds network management tools – which affected up to 18,000 organizations – could cost companies billions. In the breach, the attackers were able to compromise the update process of a widely used piece of SolarWinds software. In cybersecurity circles, this is referred to as a supply chain attack – an especially devastating variety...
