Hush Security today emerged from stealth to provide an alternative approach to protecting application secrets using a platform that is designed to continuously discover them and then apply access controls based on policies defined by an IT team.Fresh off raising $11 million in funding, company CEO Micha Rave said the Hush Security platform eliminates the need to rely on legacy vaults and secrets managers that were not designed to meet the requirements of modern application environments based on microservices that need to dynamically access secrets.Rather than incur the latency overhead created by accessing secrets stored in a vault, Rave said…

How developers are embedding runtime security to safely build with AI agents Introduction: When AI Workflows Become Attack Surfaces The AI tools we use today are powerful, but also unpredictable and exploitable. You prompt an LLM and it generates a Dockerfile. It looks correct. A shell script? Reasonable. You run it in dev. Then something breaks: a volume is deleted. A credential leaks into a log. An outbound request hits a production API. Nothing in your CI pipeline flagged it, because the risk only became real at runtime. This is the new reality of AI-native development: fast-moving code, uncertain behavior,…
Want to play Windows games on your Linux system but not sure where to begin? Heard that some Linux distros are better optimized for gaming but don’t know which ones to pick? Don’t worry, here’s a guide to the five best Linux distros that make running Windows games smooth and hassle-free. The good news is that gaming on Linux has improved dramatically in recent years. Besides the many native Linux titles already available, you can also play a huge selection of Windows-only games using compatibility tools like Proton (built into Steam) and Wine. In fact, nearly 80% of the most…
I’ve been around this space long enough to remember when any attempt to wedge something between “Dev” and “Ops” would set my teeth on edge. There was only DevOps — pure and simple. The term represented a cultural and technical shift in how we build and run software. Adding extra syllables in the middle felt like watering it down.But at JFrog’s swampUp conference this week, I was reminded that sometimes the middle matters. The new variant I heard about — DevGovOps — isn’t just another buzzword grafted onto the DevOps family tree. It struck me as something worth paying attention…
Cisco today at its Splunk .Conf25 conference previewed a series of artificial intelligence (AI) agents for the Splunk Observability platform that are capable of automating the collection of telemetry data using open source OpenTelemetry software, detecting issues, identifying root causes, and applying fixes.At the same time, Cisco also launched Cisco Data Fabric, a platform that makes it possible to aggregate and analyze machine data at scale without having to ingest it into a specific platform. That platform will also soon be extended to add support to analyze time-series data as well using multiple AI toolkits that Cisco is making available.Cisco…
Setting page visibility and the active page are often overlooked last steps when publishing a Power BI report. It’s easy to forget the active page since it’s just set to whatever page was open when you last saved the report. But we don’t have to settle for manually checking these things before we deploy to a new workspace (e.g., from dev to prod). If our report is in PBIR format, we can run Fabric notebooks to do this for us. You can download my notebook here. I’ll walk through the steps in this post. Code WalkthroughFirst, we must install semantic-link-labs. If…
NAPA, Calif. — A new persona in software development, artificial intelligence (AI) agents rather than human developers, has made it imperative that foundational platforms incorporate agentic practices alongside security, traceability, and visibility to succeed in the AI era.“Every foundational platform requires a single system of record,” Ben Haim told the crowd. “If you don’t have that, you don’t have an anchor to build a platform around,” JFrog CEO Shlomi Ben Haim said in the opening keynote at swampUP 2025, the company’s annual conference here.Speaking to developers and IT professionals, Ben Haim highlighted what he called “AI FOMO,” noting that 40%…
It’s time for T-SQL Tuesday again and this time Todd Kleinhans has a great invitation that is near and dear to my heart: mastering a new or existing technical skill. That’s been a lot of what I try to inspire people to do at SQL Server Central.Make a plan and start learning. And respond to Todd’s invitation and write down your plan and share it. Start a blog, use Linked In, whatever. Spread the word on socials as well.If you want to host, I’m always looking for hosts for T-SQL Tuesday. Ping me on Twitter/X, BlueSky, or LinkedIn.Mastering a New…
Frankfurt am Main, Germany, September 9th, 2025, CyberNewsWireThe threat landscape surrounding distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks intensified significantly in the first half of 2025, according to the latest Link11 European Cyber Report. Documented attacks targeting the Link11 network increased by 225% compared to the same period in 2024. The report highlights not only a marked rise in attack frequency but also a substantial escalation in their duration, intensity, and technical sophistication. Notably, attackers deployed volumes reaching 438 terabytes—equivalent to over seven years of continuous 4K Netflix streaming—and increasingly employed Layer 7 attacks that closely mimic legitimate user traffic. The report also…
Do you feel like your Ubuntu desktop turns messy the moment you open more than a few apps? Always dragging windows around, hoping to keep things a little more organized? Well, you’re not alone. By default, Ubuntu uses a customized version of the GNOME desktop environment, which believes in simplicity above all else, which means: fewer buttons, fewer options, and a heavy push toward Workspaces. GNOME wants you to treat each workspace as a neat little desk, with only one or two windows on it, but if you’re like me, that feels too limiting. I prefer a desktop where I…
