DevOps has revolutionized software development by emphasizing speed, agility and collaboration. However, security has often been an afterthought, introduced late in the software delivery pipeline. This traditional approach leads to bottlenecks, compliance headaches and increased security risks. The rise of DevSecOps attempted to bridge this gap by embedding security into development workflows, but even DevSecOps has struggled with friction between development, security and operations teams.Intelligent Continuous Security (TM) (ICS) is the next evolution — harnessing AI-driven automation, real-time threat detection and continuous compliance enforcement to eliminate these inefficiencies. ICS extends beyond DevSecOps to also close security gaps with SecOps, ensuring…

Linux systems provide a variety of system services (such as process management, login, syslog, cron, etc.) and network services (such as remote login, e-mail, printers, web hosting, data storage, file transfer, domain name resolution (using DNS), dynamic IP address assignment (using DHCP), and much more). Technically, a service is a process or group of processes (commonly known as daemons) running continuously in the background, waiting for requests to come in (especially from clients). Linux supports different ways to manage (start, stop, restart, enable auto-start at system boot, etc.) services, typically through a process or service manager. Most if not all…
