Logs, metrics and traces -- unlocking observability [Q&A]
Ensuring observability has always involved three pillars: logs, metrics and traces. However, the reality is that most organizations simply store this information in silos which are incapable of communicating with one another.
Jeremy Burton, CEO of Observe, believes organizations need to go beyond the three pillars of past failed solutions and instead view observability as purely a data problem. We talked to him to learn more.
Bridging the gap between development and security teams [Q&A]
Friction and lack of communication between development and security teams can lead to problems in software development and testing.

Is there a better way of protecting your digital life? [Q&A]
The nature of the modern world means that we all have lots of different accounts to manage various services.
Protecting all of these can be a challenge and you can end up with lots of different tools like password managers, VPNs, anti-virus tools and more. It also leads to people getting lazy and reusing passwords.
Are we being failed by DevSecOps? [Q&A]
Over the years, security vendors have pushed companies to integrate their tools into the DevOps pipeline with the promise of being able to move faster and be more secure.
However, as businesses have matured their DevSecOps practices the more they have been hit by mountains of reported vulnerabilities and problems that have slowed them down. So, has DevSecOps failed in its promise? We talked to Eitan Worcel, CEO at Mobb, to find out.

OpenTelemetry -- what is it and why does it matter? [Q&A]
When OpenTelemetry was first released in 2019, there was a good deal of excitement about the prospect of a single standard set of telemetry data for the entire modern software stack.
OpenTelemetry set out to make robust, portable telemetry a built-in feature of cloud-native software, and give developers and platform engineers a common mental model for all the telemetry types.
How IBM is supporting developers with AI education [Q&A]

We spoke to Weldon Dodd, SVP of community at Apple device management and security specialist Kandji, to discover how Apple has become a strategic choice for businesses, leading to increased employee productivity and even additional revenue opportunities.
The evolving roles of the CIO and CISO [Q&A]
The relationship between an organization's chief information officer (CIO) and chief information security officer (CISO) has traditionally been somewhat at odds, since CIO's job is built around sharing information and the CISO's job is to secure it. Plus, the CIO was normally higher in the organizational hierarchy, which could also cause some tension.
But the relationship has evolved in recent years, to the point where the two positions are often more on par with each other. And with security's growing importance to the business (and the boardroom), the two jobs often share the same goals and responsibilities.

Unlocking business potential through outcome-based security [Q&A]
Traditionally, organizations have focused on measuring the results of their cyber security strategies in terms of threat events or security incidents to determine how effective their security controls are.
However, in today's fast-paced world, the real game-changer is aligning security outcomes with business objectives and this is where 'outcome-based security' plays a huge role. It's a shift in focus for organizations, but one which can empower security teams to add even greater value to the strategic goals of the business.
What enterprises need to know about cybersecurity compliance [Q&A]
