Autoscaling is the process of automatically adjusting compute resources to meet a system's performance requirements. As workloads grow, systems require additional resources to sustain performance and handle increasing demand. Conversely, when demand decreases, an automatic scaling service can reduce ...

Model Context Protocol (MCP) has taken the world by storm and that is understandable. What previously were ad hoc integrations with specific LLMs and data sources can now be replaced with a common protocol that promises a write-once-integrate-with-all-LLMs experience and while the frameworks and implementations are still immature in terms of cross-cutting concerns like security, authentication or logging, the truth is that it opens endless possibilities specially for agent-to-agent architectures driven by natural language. As a way to explore MCP, I wanted to show how easy it would be to write, in just a few minutes, an MCP server exposing the information ...

vDefend Release Announcement by Prashant Gandhi March 26, 2025 New enhancements include: Micro-segmentation Assessment, Air-gapped NDR, and Scale-out Data Lake Platform (Security Services Platform 5.0) For decades, enterprises have relied on perimeter defenses to protect their private cloud assets from external threats. Yet, in this era of ransomware, protecting only the perimeter has proven to be insufficient. Traditionally, only a handful of “crown jewel” applications were protected inside the private cloud. East-west traffic being ~4X more than north-south traffic, extending perimeter defenses internally proved neither scalable nor economically ...
