BackBox Announces Enhanced NCM Automation Capabilities - Discover Now
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has recently released a healthcare-specific cybersecurity vulnerability mitigation guide. The guide focuses on addressing critical vulnerabilities and provides a proactive approach to combatting cyber threats. I thought it would be useful to examine the three mitigation strategies in this report as they related to BackBox in healthcare and …
Here at BackBox we talk about automation as if it’s the correct choice for everyone, without questioning why that might be. I mean, we get into features, and we’ve got the best backup solution, etc. ” … there’s a lot of network automation and infrastructure automation going on right now,” <— that’s from a Network …
Last month when Cisco acquired Splunk one of the quotes I read on LinkedIn that jumped out at me was that this acquisition makes sense because: As networks get more complex, it’s important to know what’s really going on.

Build and buy? Close, but no cigar. Instead, buy then build. Read More »
One of the powerful things about BackBox is our notification capabilities. Getting notified of interesting events, with rich notifications (I’ll describe what I mean by ‘rich’ with an example down below), makes for the ability to manage by exception. When you can trust an automation platform to tell you when things aren’t going the way …
