Opus Security today unveiled a platform that employs artificial intelligence (AI) agents to its vulnerability management platform that are trained to discover known issues and suggest remediations.The Autonomous Vulnerability Management Platform is designed to first engage DevSecOps teams by asking a series of questions about their application environments. That data is then used to map the IT environment, determine which policies should be enforced and identify which vulnerabilities represent the most severe potential threats.The platform then shares that data with a set of AI agents that have been trained to perform specific tasks, including a Security Researcher, Security Governance Agent,…

Current software development paradigms are experiencing rapid transformation with CI/CD pipelines serving as core elements of modern DevOps methods. Implementing and handling CI/CD pipelines needs deep coding skills such as infrastructure understanding and a requirement for manual interventions in the traditional development setting. Meanwhile, low-code/no-code (LCNC) platforms now enable organizations to implement CI/CD using an automation system that enables people with little or no coding experience to build and modify applications. What is Low-Code/No-Code in CI/CD? By leveraging LCNC, end users can gain the ability to run automated software delivery procedures despite low or no programming expertise. The platforms make it easy…
The free-wheeling days of cloud spend are over. Scarred by sky-high monthly bills and embarrassing outages, many companies are now closely monitoring their infrastructure costs to prevent waste, avoid performance issues and siphon out every possible bit of savings. When it comes to new capacity, finance leaders are increasingly asking: Do we really need to scale up, or did we just become less efficient? Metrics, logs, traces and profiles hold information required to run more cost-effective and resilient infrastructure. Historically, telemetry data was analyzed in silos over fixed periods. Generating collective insights requires a lot of manual work from specialists; and…
I had someone reach out about generate_series() recently, saying they hadn’t realized this was a new feature in SQL Server 2022. They were wondering if it was better than using a tally table.I didn’t want to do an exhaustive test, but I thought I’d take a minute and try a couple simple things just to see.A First TestThe first thing was to just generate a million numbers. Rather than just get the numbers. I decided to use a quick DATEADD() to create a list of calendar dates. Here’s the code:SET STATISTICS IO ON; SET STATISTICS TIME ON; — Create a…
As a Consultant, I would typically answer with – it depends! Then a typical conversation starts with an expression of personal preferences based on experience, the organization’s history, and ultimately, the in-house know-how and existing partnerships. However, this is also where the limitation starts. From a Consulting perspective, this state is typically difficult to overcome – showing the other side of the coin to be able to have a more objective view on this subject. Yet, this is the unknown, and it requires openness and courage, as the biggest risk is a black-and-white (biased) approach to a complex topic. The…

Python InstallPython is perhaps the world’s best-known programming language at this point in time. Python is the basis of what’s taught in software classes around the world, the language often used in machine learning modules and tasks, and the behind-the-scenes code powering many of our apps and services. Playing with Python on your own machine can be extremely rewarding if you feel like getting stuck into a bit of coding. While there are browser-based Python sandpits, giving Python your own environment to run in makes it a lot more powerful.Installing new software can often feel like a tedious, time-consuming task.…
