As many of you will already know, the Log4j vulnerability has been making waves in the industry. We put out a post last week on how we mitigate the attack (read more on CVE-2021-44228) but something we haven't spoken about is how effective our threat intelligence platform has been at preventing the attack, and the insights from a platform like NovaSense.

We've spoken recently about threat intelligence and the role it plays in protecting organizations, platform infrastructure, data, and transactions from various cyber threats. However, it is important to understand the particular use cases, so you can apply threat intelligence to solve specific security challenges in your organization. 

When it comes to online security, businesses make a lot of effort to ensure they have the right tools, firewalls, and settings in place to protect their applications from the dangerous threat of hackers, viruses, and DDoS attacks. However, the biggest security risk that is often not explored enough is the human factor.

We are proud to announce that the much anticipated Nova Version 2 has an official release window.

The world is in the midst of an unprecedented crisis and we, the team that brings you the Snapt portfolio of products, want to help in whatever way we can. We’re here to support the heroes on the front-line as they protect our citizens and keep the economy going.

If you’re running your business applications in containers and managing those with Kubernetes, you’re probably aware of the limitations of traditional Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) and Load Balancers in this environment. Traditional load balancers simply do not have the scalability and agility needed for cloud native deployments. Whether you’re already up and running in containers or just getting started, this blog will tell you all you need to know for choosing the best load balancer for Kubernetes.

By using Snapt within a VMware Cloud on AWS environment, businesses can improve the security of data, servers, and performance of services while reducing TCO.

Snapt launches alpha for Project Nova: a revolutionary cloud-native ADC solution for DevOps and ITOps designed for microservices, containers and hyperscale architectures. Project Nova offers even more uptime, reliability and performance for business-critical applications and services across both mature and agile network environments. San Francisco, California, July 30, 2019 – Snapt, the pioneering application delivery controller (ADC) company, today announced the exclusive alpha launch of Project Nova. Project Nova (https://nova-adc.com) represents a step-change in the way modern DevOps and ITOps teams can manage their networks.

Microservices architecture is the new black when it comes to designing software applications. Developers are abandoning monolithic application structures and adopting microservices, particularly for very large applications, because they are more flexible, highly scalable, easier to manage and can provide the agility that DevOps teams require. But as more applications are decomposed into microservices, which all need to communicate with each other, this is putting considerable strain on traffic loads in the data center. Traditional hardware load balancers and Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) that were not designed to cope with microservices are struggling to keep up and are slowing down DevOps activities. The surge in data center traffic resulting from the rapid adoption of microservices demands a new approach to Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) that is optimized for “East-West” load balancing.
