AI-powered cyberattacks are rapidly evolving, prompting a significant shift in cybersecurity strategies. According to a recent Gartner report, IT leaders are expected to allocate over half of their cybersecurity budgets to preemptive defense measures by 2030. This change is driven by the inadequacy of traditional detection and response tools in the face of sophisticated cyber threats, particularly those enhanced by artificial intelligence. Experts warn that while preemptive measures can mitigate risks, organizations may encounter challenges in integrating these new systems and overcoming cultural inertia.Datadog's 2025 State of Cloud Security Report highlights a growing trend among organizations adopting data perimeters to combat credential theft, with 40% of organizations implementing this advanced security practice. Additionally, 86% of organizations are utilizing multi-account setups within AWS, which allows for better enforcement of security protocols. Meanwhile, OpenAI's report reveals that cybercriminals are increasingly leveraging AI for malicious activities, including phishing and surveillance, showcasing the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures.In response to market pressures, Synology has reversed its policy on drive restrictions for its network-attached storage models, allowing the use of non-validated third-party drives. This decision comes after user feedback indicated dissatisfaction with the previous requirement for proprietary drives, which were often more expensive. For managed service providers (MSPs), this change offers greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness, making Synology's products more appealing once again.Pax8 has launched the Pax8 Agent Store, a platform designed to help MSPs adopt and offer AI-driven tools to small and medium-sized businesses. This marketplace aims to facilitate the integration and monetization of intelligent automation solutions, with early access set for December 2025. Additionally, SolarWinds has introduced an AI agent to enhance operational resilience for IT teams, while Barracuda Networks has launched Barracuda Research, a centralized resource for threat intelligence. Both initiatives aim to empower organizations in managing cybersecurity threats more effectively. Four things to know today00:00 Gartner, OpenAI, Datadog, and DHS Paint a Stark Cyber Future: AI Attacks Surge, Budgets Shift, and Defenses Fracture06:01 New Pax8 Platform Targets Repeatable AI Services, Sets Early Access for December08:03 Synology Reverses Course on Pricey Drives — Because You Stopped Buying09:53 SolarWinds and Barracuda Push AI to Ease IT Burdens—But Can They Deliver Real Value? This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  Comet, Scalepad Webinar:  https://bit.ly/msprmail

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.SoFi stock just crashed hard, dropping over 10% in a single session, and the big question is: what do you do if you're holding shares? In this video we break down the warning signs that could have saved traders from heavy losses, the technical red flags flashing across the chart, and why sticking to proven signals with OVTLYR helps you avoid getting caught in a free fall.We start by analyzing SoFi's chart and the sell signals that fired off before the collapse. Order blocks showed clear resistance overhead while no support was in sight. On top of that, the 10 EMA and 20 EMA weren't just broken, they were crushed, confirming that the short-term and intermediate trends had flipped bearish. Add in the 50/80 rule—where 50% of the time a stock like this can fall 80%—and the risk was obvious to anyone following the data.➡️ Learn how order blocks reveal resistance zones and why lack of support signals danger➡️ See why SoFi's moving average breakdown was a massive red flag➡️ Understand how the 50/80 rule plays out in real-world trades➡️ Discover why buying dips in crashing stocks is a losing strategy➡️ Get the simple trend template OVTLYR traders use to confirm entries and exitsThis episode also dives into trading psychology. Many investors convince themselves that “the market is wrong” when a stock like SoFi drops. But the market is never wrong. Price is truth, and your job is to follow the wave, not fight it. That's why patience and discipline matter—waiting for stocks that are crashing up instead of catching falling knives that destroy your account.We also compare SoFi to names like AMD, Tesla, and others that show what happens when you ignore exit signals. These examples prove that even the strongest rallies can evaporate quickly, and the only way to protect your gains is by having a plan. Averaging down might feel like a strategy, but it ties up your money for months with no guarantee of recovery. Averaging up when the trend is confirmed is where the real profits are made.Beyond SoFi, we look at opportunities across the market using OVTLYR's plans: Plan M, Plan A, and Plan ETF. With the S&P and Nasdaq showing mixed signals, sometimes the smartest move is simply sitting in cash. Other times, ETF strategies shine by capturing broader uptrends with lower stress. And when the signals line up, individual names like Intel, Zscaler, and Datadog show traders exactly how to time their moves with confidence.If you've been burned holding stocks through massive drops, this video is for you. You'll see why trusting signals, following the trend template, and using OVTLYR to confirm setups is the smarter way to trade. Stop guessing, stop hoping, and start trading with rules that protect your capital.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

When David Obstler joined Datadog in 2018, the company's co-founders had already built momentum with a product that observed modern cloud workloads. What struck Obstler was the alignment with a powerful long-term trend—the shift from legacy, on-premise systems to modern cloud applications. “It was a product that had a lot of product market fit in a really strong growing market,” he tells us.From that foundation, Datadog scaled rapidly. Today, the platform serves more than 3,100 customers worldwide, including Samsung, Nasdaq, Shell, Autodesk, and Toyota. The company recently entered the S&P 500 after reporting more than $820 million in second-quarter revenue—a 28% year-over-year increase—alongside $200 million in free cash flow, Obstler tells us.The CFO attributes the growth to Datadog's unwavering commitment to product-led innovation. The company began in infrastructure monitoring and quickly expanded into logs, application monitoring, and security. “The company invests R&D at very high and consistent levels to continue to maintain and grow the platform,” Obstler tells us.His own role centers on scaling the infrastructure needed to support expansion. That includes building global go-to-market operations and strengthening his team across financial planning, predictability, and business operations. “We've been investing behind this growth opportunity and doing it in a strong, prioritized way,” he tells us.With new investments in AI, Datadog is preparing for its next chapter. For Obstler, disciplined prioritization and product-driven growth remain at the heart of how finance can fuel scale.

In deze 8e aflevering in de 100e afleveringen-reeks spreken we met Floris van Unen, DevOps engineer bij Funda. Floris neemt ons mee achter de schermen bij een van de meest bezochte websites van Nederland.We horen hoe Funda 788 miljoen bezoeken per jaar afhandelt met meer dan 200 microservices op Kubernetes. Van search tot video's, van caching tot piekbelasting tijdens tv-programma's: alles moet werken alsof het “water uit de kraan” komt. Floris legt uit hoe een team van acht engineers dit draaiende houdt met slimme automatisering, observability en tooling als GitHub Actions, Terraform en Datadog.Ook vertelt hij over de rol van OpenSearch (en waarom niet Elastic), het gebruik van Cloudflare en hoe schaalbaarheid tot op de milliseconde belangrijk is voor de gebruikerservaring. Daarnaast bespreken we de balans tussen legacy en innovatie: van de dagen dat alles in twee 19-inch racks paste tot de huidige cloud-native aanpak.Tot slot kijken we vooruit. Floris ziet de toekomst van Kubernetes steeds meer richting serverless en machine learning-gedreven platformbeheer bewegen, waarbij developers straks nog maar een “smaakje” kiezen en de rest volledig geautomatiseerd wordt.Stuur ons een bericht.ACC ICT Specialist in IT-CONTINUÏTEIT Bedrijfskritische applicaties én data veilig beschikbaar, onafhankelijk van derden, altijd en overalSupport the showLike and subscribe!

How do usage-based SaaS companies convert transactional or variable revenue into Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)? Episode #299 gives you a practical framework for presenting usage-based ARR to your Board, investors, and internal teams with clarity and confidence. After manually reviewing hundreds of public filings and investor materials, Ben Murray breaks down the real-world methods used by companies like Confluent and Datadog to turn usage into ARR. What You'll Learn The most common method for usage-based ARR The second most common method How these methods compare to traditional MRR x 12 for subscription models Why ARR is often used as a North Star Metric and how transparency is improving across SaaS companies. Resources Mentioned Webinar Replay & Slide Deck (~59 slides): Get definitions, examples, and real ARR formulas from leading SaaS companies: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/offers/zz3ZR2WL Ben's Research Process “Over 100 hours of manual research. I tried using AI—OpenAI couldn't handle it. I had to read the filings myself. These ARR methods are backed by real-world data from public SaaS companies.”

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a popular question: What Happens When Software Fails? Originally titled When Coffee Hits the Fan: Developer Disaster Recovery, this AI-enhanced breakdown explores real-world developer mistakes, recovery strategies, and the tools that help turn chaos into control. Whether you're managing your first deployment or juggling enterprise infrastructure, you'll leave this episode better equipped for the moment when software fails. When Software Fails and Everything Goes Down The podcast kicks off with a dramatic (but realistic) scenario: CI passes, coffee is in hand, and then production crashes. While that might sound extreme, it's a situation many developers recognize. Rob and Michael cover some familiar culprits: Dropping a production database Misconfigured cloud infrastructure costing hundreds overnight Accidentally publishing secret keys Over-provisioned “default” environments meant for enterprise use Takeaway: Software will fail. Being prepared is the difference between a disaster and a quick fix. Why Software Fails: Avoiding Costly Dev Mistakes Michael shares an all-too-common situation: connecting to the wrong environment and running production-breaking SQL. The issue wasn't the code—it was the context. Here are some best practices to avoid accidental failure: Color-code terminal environments (green for dev, red for prod) Disable auto-commit in production databases Always preview changes with a SELECT before running DELETE or UPDATE Back up databases or individual tables before making changes These simple habits can save hours—or days—of cleanup. How to Recover When Software Fails Rob and Michael outline a reliable recovery framework that works in any team or tech stack: Monitoring and alerts: Tools like Datadog, Prometheus, and Sentry help detect issues early Rollback plans: Scripts, snapshots, and container rebuilds should be ready to go Runbooks: Documented recovery steps prevent chaos during outages Postmortems: Blameless reviews help teams learn and improve Clear communication: Everyone on the team should know who's doing what during a crisis Pro Tip: Practice disaster scenarios ahead of time. Simulations help ensure you're truly ready. Essential Tools for Recovery Tools can make or break your ability to respond quickly when software fails. Rob and Michael recommend: Docker & Docker Compose for replicable environments Terraform & Ansible for consistent infrastructure GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins for automated testing and deployment Chaos Engineering tools like Gremlin and Chaos Monkey Snapshot and backup automation to enable fast data restoration Michael emphasizes: containers are the fastest way to spin up clean environments, test recovery steps, and isolate issues safely. Mindset Matters: Staying Calm When Software Fails Technical preparation is critical—but so is mindset. Rob notes that no one makes smart decisions in panic mode. Having a calm, repeatable process in place reduces pressure when systems go down. Cultural and team-based practices: Use blameless postmortems to normalize failure Avoid root access in production whenever possible Share mistakes in standups so others can learn Make local environments mirror production using containers Reminder: Recovery is a skill—one you should build just like any feature. Think you're ready for a failure scenario? Prove it. This week, simulate a software failure in your development environment: Turn off a service your app depends on Delete (then restore) a local database from backup Use Docker to rebuild your environment from scratch Trigger a mock alert in your monitoring tool Then answer these questions: How fast can you recover? What broke that you didn't expect? What would you do differently in production? Recovery isn't just theory—it's a skill you build through practice. Start now, while the stakes are low. Final Thought Software fails. That's a reality of modern development. But with the right tools, smart workflows, and a calm, prepared team, you can recover quickly—and even improve your system in the process. Learn from failure. Build with resilience. And next time something breaks, you'll know exactly what to do. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

Austan Goolsbee is one of Tyler Cowen's favorite economists—not because they always agree, but because Goolsbee embodies what it means to think like an economist. Whether he's analyzing productivity slowdowns in the construction sector, exploring the impact of taxes on digital commerce, or poking holes in overconfident macro narratives, Goolsbee is consistently sharp, skeptical, and curious. A longtime professor at the University of Chicago's Booth School and former chair of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama, Goolsbee now brings that intellectual discipline—and a healthy dose of humor—to his role as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Tyler and Austan explore what theoretical frameworks Goolsbee uses for understanding inflation, why he's skeptical of monetary policy rules, whether post-pandemic inflation was mostly from the demand or supply side, the proliferation of stablecoins and shadow banking, housing prices and construction productivity, how microeconomic principles apply to managing a regional Fed bank, whether the structure of the Federal Reserve system should change, AI's role in banking supervision and economic forecasting, stablecoins and CBDCs, AI's productivity potential over the coming decades, his secret to beating Ted Cruz in college debates, and more.

Episode 60: Can you really build an $8 billion SaaS startup by yourself using AI agents? Nathan Lands (https://x.com/NathanLands) sits down with Matan Grinberg (https://x.com/matansf), a physicist, AI founder, and creator of Factory AI—one of Silicon Valley's best-kept secrets.

What separates the top 1% of venture capitalists from the rest? For Roger Ehrenberg, Managing Partner at Eberg Capital, it's the ability — and the appetite — to invest before the crowd, before the product is built, and before there's even proof of concept. In a recent episode of the Skin in the Game VC podcast, Roger joined Tom Wallace and Saxon Baum to share how he turned a late-career pivot into one of the most impressive track records in early-stage venture capital.Roger didn't come from the startup world. He spent nearly two decades on Wall Street, running billion-dollar trading desks at Citi and Deutsche Bank. From the outside, it looked like a career anyone would want — but for Roger, it had run its course. Tired of internal politics and craving something more entrepreneurial, he walked away. Around the same time, he'd been dabbling in angel investing on the side. That small experiment — backing builders before product-market fit — quickly turned into a full-time obsession.He began writing a blog, Information Arbitrage, to share his thinking publicly. The blog gained traction. Founders started reaching out. Other investors began to follow his thesis. At a time when the idea of a “New York tech ecosystem” was almost laughable, Roger had the clarity to see where it could go — and the conviction to act. By early 2010, he scraped together a $17 million first close. That first fund would eventually land at $50 million, and IA Ventures was born.But the money was only part of the story. What set Roger apart then — and still does — is how early he's willing to go. He prefers backing companies before the market even knows they exist. In fact, he often writes the first check before there's a line of code written. This isn't blind optimism. It's founder-first investing grounded in deep research and sharp intuition.Roger's track record speaks for itself. He was an early backer of The Trade Desk when it was just a deck. He seeded Datadog, TubeMogul, and multiple other companies before they became category leaders. The common thread? Founders who could not only see the future but build their way into it. To Roger, great founders share something intangible: what he calls “aesthetic and empathy.”“Great founders understand where their product stops and where the customer starts,” he said. That could mean designing APIs that developers love or building consumer apps that feel inevitable. Either way, the best founders have an intuitive sense of product, user behavior, and market timing. Roger knows how to find them — or maybe, they know how to find him. That's the power of publishing, he says. His blog didn't just clarify his thesis — it attracted the right people. It helped him raise a fund when few believed in early-stage investing outside Silicon Valley.Since then, IA Ventures has grown to four funds and backed dozens of successful startups. Roger has since passed the torch to his partners and launched his next chapter: Eberg Capital. Now, he invests alongside his sons in a new wave of innovation — spanning sports, media, entertainment, and the evolving world of fandom.But whether he's backing a Marlins ownership stake, investing in Formula 1, or writing angel checks to creator economy startups, one thing hasn't changed: Roger Ehrenberg still goes early. He still backs founders before the world sees their potential. And more often than not, he's right.Listen to the full episode with Roger Ehrenberg now. Hosted on Acast.

Today's guest is AJ Stuyvenberg, a Staff Engineer at Datadog working on their Serverless observability project. He had a great article recently about how they rewrote their AWS Lambda extension in Rust. It's a really interesting look at a big, hard project, from thinking about when it's a good idea to do a rewrite to talking about their focus on performance and reliability above all else and what he thinks about the Rust ecosystem. Beyond that, AJ is just a learning machine, so I got his thoughts on all kinds of software development topics, from underrated AWS services and our favorite databases to the AWS Free Tier and the annoyances of a new AWS account. Finally, AJ dishes out some career advice for curious, ambitious developers.

Prequel is launching a new developer-focused service aimed at democratizing software error detection—an area typically dominated by large cloud providers. Co-founded by Lyndon Brown and Tony Meehan, both former NSA engineers, Prequel introduces a community-driven observability approach centered on Common Reliability Enumerations (CREs). CREs categorize recurring production issues, helping engineers detect, understand, and communicate problems without reinventing solutions or working in isolation. Their open-source tools, cre and prereq, allow teams to build and share detectors that catch bugs and anti-patterns in real time—without exposing sensitive data, thanks to edge processing using WebAssembly.The urgency behind Prequel's mission stems from the rapid pace of AI-driven development, increased third-party code usage, and rising infrastructure costs. Traditional observability tools may surface symptoms, but Prequel aims to provide precise problem definitions and actionable insights. While observability giants like Datadog and Splunk dominate the market, Brown and Meehan argue that engineers still feel overwhelmed by data and underpowered in diagnostics—something they believe CREs can finally change.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest Observability insights Why Consolidating Observability Tools Is a Smart MoveBuilding an Observability Culture: Getting Everyone Onboard Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

Beebop AI is pioneering a new middleware layer for power grid orchestration, securing $5.5 million in funding to help utilities and energy retailers optimize energy consumption and costs. In this episode of Category Visionaries, I sat down with Jan Willem Rombouts, CEO and Founder of Beebop AI, to discuss how his background at Goldman Sachs and experience building his first energy tech company shaped his approach to solving one of the energy transition's biggest challenges: balancing power grids in an increasingly renewable-powered world. Topics Discussed: Jan Willem's journey from Goldman Sachs' trading floor during the financial crisis to energy tech entrepreneurship The painful lessons learned building Restore, which pioneered virtual power plants and was later acquired by Centrica How Beebop AI creates a middleware layer that orchestrates power consumption across customer devices like EVs, solar panels, and heat pumps Why power grid orchestration is critical to making renewable energy both reliable and affordable Beebop's strategic flywheel connecting utilities and device manufacturers The go-to-market strategies that helped Beebop gain traction with major European utilities   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Engineer network effects into your go-to-market strategy: Beebop designed a utility-to-OEM flywheel where each new utility customer helps bring device manufacturers onto their platform, creating a powerful network effect. Jan Willem explained: "What we designed was that we would first contract these utilities... our anticipation was that they would be able to engage with these OEMs, with these manufacturers more easily, to essentially invite them to integrate with our platform." This approach turns customers into channel partners who can open doors that would be difficult for a startup to access directly. Break through complex sales cycles with land-and-expand: When selling to utilities and large corporations with notoriously long sales cycles, Beebop starts with a low-cost, high-value initial offering focused on insights and business case validation. Jan Willem noted: "Our initial proposition is very low cost and very high value... we allow them to see what the business case is... to create somewhat of a solid launching pad on which we can then expand and go to actual operationalization." This approach shortens time-to-value and creates internal champions. Focus on customer economics, not just your technology: Despite having complex technology, Beebop leads customer conversations with how their solution impacts key metrics like customer lifetime value, margin, churn, and customer acquisition costs. "Before we have explained anything about how new our software is, where it positions in the technology stack, we just show what kind of awesome products they can build... creating tens of percentages of discounts on their energy bills." Design for global scale from day one: Based on lessons from his first company, Jan Willem deliberately architected Beebop to work with market structures that are universal across regions: "What we did this time... is we chose markets that have a universal footprint and so that look essentially the same whether you're in the UK or you're in Texas or you're in Germany or you're in Sweden." This approach avoids the scaling challenges of having to constantly adapt to different regulatory environments. Bring process to event marketing: Beebop transformed their trade show approach by adopting a disciplined, metrics-driven strategy learned from Datadog's former CMO. Jan Willem shared: "The big learning for me was to be super intentional. If you go to a trade show, be super clear about exactly how many marketing qualified, how many sales qualified leads you want out of it, and then engineer a team with different roles and responsibilities." This systematic approach yields measurable ROI from events that many startups struggle to achieve.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co

With a background leading legal operations and commercial contracting at Datadog and Cognizant, Laurie has deep expertise in scaling legal functions to drive business impact. She began her career in intellectual property law at top firms and holds a JD from NYU School of Law and a BS from Cornell. Passionate about innovation and diversity in tech, Laurie has also been a champion for women in leadership throughout her career. In this episode… Contract review can be time-consuming and complex, especially when working with third-party agreements that use unfamiliar language and formats. Legal teams often rely on manual review processes that make it challenging to maintain consistency across contracts, contributing to inefficiencies and increased costs. That's why businesses need an effective solution that reduces the burden of contract analysis while supporting legal and strategic decision-making. Dioptra, a legal tech startup, helps solve these challenges by leveraging AI to automate first-pass contract reviews, redline contracts, and generate playbooks. The AI agent analyzes past agreements to identify patterns, standard language, and key risk areas, allowing teams to streamline the review process. It supports a range of use cases — from NDAs to real estate deals — while improving consistency and reducing review time. Dioptra also enhances post-execution analysis by enabling companies to assess past agreements for compliance and risk exposure. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Farah Gasmi, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Dioptra, and Laurie Ehrlich, the Chief Legal Officer at Dioptra, about how AI is used to streamline contract reviews. Together, they discuss how Dioptra accelerates contract reviews, supports security and privacy through strict data controls, and enables organizations to build smarter, more consistent contract processes — without removing the need for expert human judgment. Farah and Laurie also delve into the importance of AI-driven consistency in contract negotiation, vendor security evaluations, and how companies can safeguard sensitive data when using AI tools.

Guest: Sarah Franklin, CEO of LatticeAs the CEO of a growing company, Lattice's Sarah Franklin has learned that one of her most important contributions is taking a leap of faith. “You have to have the courage to be the first one to do it,” she says,” and to show that it can be done, and to pave the way so that then your team feels trust.”Sarah cautions, though, that sometimes courage is deciding to stop and go a different direction. As agentic AI becomes more common, the people building companies like Lattice should look to the “cautionary tales” of how social media and mobile phones have changed society, she says.“We can have the courage to say, what are the outcomes that we want to prevent? Or what are the outcomes that we want to make sure happen? This all takes, courage, because it's all unknown.”Chapters:(01:14) - Schooling in Mexico (04:09) - Raising brave children (10:28) - Sarah's upbringing (13:29) - The pursuit of money (16:23) - Measuring success (19:28) - Learnings, not regrets (22:55) - Make an impact (26:44) - Pitching Trailhead (32:56) - Elevating a B2B company (35:27) - How to colonize Mars (38:39) - Marketing, the Salesforce way (44:21) - Dolphining and truth-tellers (50:56) - Renewed purpose (56:30) - The challenges of being CEO (01:00:18) - Pave the way (01:03:25) - “Humanizing AI” (01:06:57) - Handling controversy (01:11:04) - Who Lattice is hiring and what “grit” means to Sarah Mentioned in this episode: FaceTime, Salesforce, Marc Benioff, Mahatma Gandhi, Instagram, the Fortune 500, Java, Jerry Maguire, National Parks, Nike, Michael Jordan, Apple and “Think Different,” Sara Varni, Scott Holden, Andy Kofoid, Databricks, Datadog, Behind the Cloud, Oracle, Microsoft, Elon Musk, Amazon AWS, George Hu, Mike Rosenbaum, Cheryl Feldman, Zac Otero, Guidewire Software, AI agents, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and LinkedIn.Links:Connect with SarahLinkedInConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm
