Now that we have the offset, how do we use that to actually read the data that the library puts there for us? This brings us back to the magic fs: portion of the mov instruction that we discussed earlier. In X86, most memory operands can optionally be supplied with a segment register that influences the address translation.Segments are an archaic construct from the early days … [Read more...] about Beyond the trace: Pinpointing performance culprits with continuous profiling and distributed tracing correlation

The Importance of Continuous Security Monitoring for a Robust Cybersecurity Strategy
Nov 14, 2023The Hacker NewsPen Testing / Vulnerability Management In 2023, the global average cost of a data breach reached $4.45 million. Beyond the immediate financial loss, there are long-term consequences like diminished customer trust, weakened brand value, and derailed business operations. In a world where the frequency and cost of data breaches are skyrocketing, … [Read more...] about The Importance of Continuous Security Monitoring for a Robust Cybersecurity Strategy
What is Elastic Universal Profiling? A continuous profiling solution for all
Universal Profiling is multilanguage. We support all of today’s popular programming languages, including Python, Go, Java (and any other JVM-based languages), Ruby, NodeJS, PHP, Perl, and of course, C and C++, which is critical since these languages still underly so many third-party libraries used by the other languages. In addition, we support profiling native code a.k.a. … [Read more...] about What is Elastic Universal Profiling? A continuous profiling solution for all
Why You Need Continuous Network Monitoring?
Changes in the way we work have had significant implications for cybersecurity, not least in network monitoring. Workers no longer sit safely side-by-side on a corporate network, dev teams constantly spin up and tear down systems, exposing services to the internet. Keeping track of these users, changes and services is difficult – internet-facing attack surfaces rarely stay the … [Read more...] about Why You Need Continuous Network Monitoring?
Continuous Security Validation with Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS)
Validate security continuously across your full stack with Pen Testing as a Service. In today's modern security operations center (SOC), it's a battle between the defenders and the cybercriminals. Both are using tools and expertise – however, the cybercriminals have the element of surprise on their side, and a host of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that have … [Read more...] about Continuous Security Validation with Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS)
Continuous Observability: Shedding Light on CI/CD Pipelines
DevOps is not just about operating software in production, but also releasing that software to production. Well-functioning continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines are critical for the business, and this calls for quality observability to ensure that Lead Time for Changes is kept short and that broken and flaky pipelines are quickly identified and … [Read more...] about Continuous Observability: Shedding Light on CI/CD Pipelines
Close Security Gaps with Continuous Threat Exposure Management
CISOs, security leaders, and SOC teams often struggle with limited visibility into all connections made to their company-owned assets and networks. They are hindered by a lack of open-source intelligence and powerful technology required for proactive, continuous, and effective discovery and protection of their systems, data, and assets. As advanced threat actors constantly … [Read more...] about Close Security Gaps with Continuous Threat Exposure Management
Improving the Elastic APM UI performance with continuous rollups and service metrics
Our journey began back in the 7.x series where we noticed that doing ad-hoc aggregations on raw transaction data put Elasticsearch® under a lot of pressure in large-scale environments. Since then, we’ve begun to pre-aggregate the transactions into transaction metrics during ingestion. This has helped to keep the performance of the UI relatively stable. Regardless of how busy … [Read more...] about Improving the Elastic APM UI performance with continuous rollups and service metrics
How Attack Surface Management Supports Continuous Threat Exposure Management
May 11, 2023The Hacker News According to Forrester, External Attack Surface Management (EASM) emerged as a market category in 2021 and gained popularity in 2022. In a different report, Gartner concluded that vulnerability management vendors are expanding their offerings to include Attack Surface Management (ASM) for a suite of comprehensive offensive security … [Read more...] about How Attack Surface Management Supports Continuous Threat Exposure Management
Continuous Profiling: A New Observability Signal
We’ve all grown used to logs, metrics and traces serving as the “three pillars of observability.” And indeed they are very important telemetry signals. But are they indeed the sum of the observability game? Not at all. In fact, one of the key trends in observability is moving beyond the ‘three pillars:These three pillars continue to be critically important. But it’s important … [Read more...] about Continuous Profiling: A New Observability Signal
