RPA is not a silver bullet: Why no-code holds the key to digital transformation success
If the UK’s businesses didn’t need to modernize before the pandemic, they certainly do now. The existential crisis many were plunged into over the past two years has reinforced the resolve of boardrooms everywhere that digital transformation is the future. When deployed effectively, it helps to deliver the agility that every business craves, whilst driving the operational efficiencies and productivity gains essential to survival in a period of high inflation and rising costs.
In this context, robotic process automation (RPA) can be a useful tool. But when deployed the wrong way, or in isolation, it may actually end up worsening legacy dependencies rather than alleviating them. Instead, organizations need to think about the bigger picture -- by bringing together apps, automation and extensible integration in a single no-code platform. That’s the best way to achieve modernization at a pace that fits the business.

New process helps deliver Kubernetes observability
As Kubernetes becomes increasingly widely adopted, monitoring these systems effectively becomes even more critical for businesses. But because Kubernetes is by nature ephemeral -- things can be created and destroyed quickly -- this represents a challenge.
As a Gartner report last year pointed out poor or manual monitoring procedures can introduce friction for developers and loss of visibility. To combat this problem, analytics platform Sumo Logic has unveiled a new process to deliver Kubernetes observability in just a few clicks.
The evolution of identity-based fraud: Why ATO attacks are at the top of the list
Digital identity is the new currency, and adversaries are chasing wealth. Research shows that 61 percent of data breaches are the result of compromised credentials. This is a common fraudster tactic, whereby using legitimate credentials allows them to avoid detection as they gather intelligence and stolen data that will allow them to undertake further fraudulent transactions.
Fundamental to the defense of systems is access control, but it has its limits. Attackers are continuously trying to circumnavigate these systems to access accounts, with login and payment flows frequently targeted. This is why many organizations have invested in anti-fraud technologies to detect and mitigate against such attacks.

There is a huge problem with Netflix's ad-supported subscription tier -- and it's not the ads
We've known for a little while that there was a cheaper subscription tier coming to Netflix. We have also been aware that the price to pay for a reduction in price is the requirement to view ads -- Netflix has teamed up with Microsoft as its advertising partner.
But the inclusion of ads is not the only downside to the cheaper tier. Netflix has now revealed that ad-supported subscriptions will not be able to access all of its video content.
