Modern businesses rely heavily on web applications, cloud platforms, and servers that must operate continuously. Even a short downtime can impact customer experience, revenue, and operational efficiency. This is why server monitoring tools are essential for IT teams and system administrators. Server monitoring tools help track server performance, uptime, CPU usage, memory consumption, network traffic, and application health. These tools also generate alerts when issues arise, allowing teams to respond quickly before problems escalate. In addition to tools, organizations also need proper processes and skilled teams to monitor alerts and …

GhostHook is a new attack technique which allows hackers to bypass kernel protections of Windows 10 PatchGuard and plant rootkits within systems. PatchGuard is a software tool that has been designed to forbid the kernel of 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems from being patched, preventing attackers from executing malicious code or running rootkits at the kernel level. According to the researchers at CyberArk, GhostHook is neither an elevation nor an exploitation technique but a post-exploitation attack where the attacker has control over the compromised system. It provides the hacker …

The latest versions of cPanel come with EasyApache 4 which provides a lot of new features like PHP 7 support, native support for multiple PHP versions, etc. So it is recommended to migrate to EasyApache 4 to utilize these features.

IBM introduced IBM Z as the next generation of its high-performance transaction systems. Designed for the modern cloud era, this platform can process more than 12 billion encrypted transactions per day. It also features a powerful encryption engine that enables organizations to encrypt data across applications, cloud services, and databases at scale. According to IBM, only a small percentage of stolen data in recent years was encrypted, highlighting a major gap in data security. With cybercrime projected to have a massive economic impact globally, the need for scalable and efficient …
