National handwashing awareness week is an annual event celebrated in December to focus on the importance of proper hand hygiene and general health. It is designed to remind everyone that clean hands can help prevent illness, disease, and the spread of germs. Encouraging hand hygiene among your employees is essential for workplace safety. Teaching handwashing techniques can help provide an extra layer of protection, lessen the spread of germs, and show employees that you care about their health and well-being. To ensure hand hygiene at work, here’s what you should teach your employees:
Warm water helps to remove more dirt, oils, and germs from the skin than cold water. Employees should use hot water if it’s available and always make sure to wet their hands with clean running water before applying soap. All surfaces of the hands should be washed thoroughly, including the backs of the hands, wrists, between fingers, and under fingernails.
After wetting their hands with clean running water, employees should apply soap and lather up their hands while scrubbing them together in a back-and-forth motion for at least 20 seconds. This includes scrubbing Continue reading
Starting today, we’re adding support on all zone plans to add custom comments on your DNS records. Users on the Pro, Business and Enterprise plan will also be able to tag DNS records.
DNS records play an essential role when it comes to operating a website or a web application. In general, they are used to mapping human-readable hostnames to machine-readable information, most commonly IP addresses. Besides mapping hostnames to IP addresses they also fulfill many other use cases like:
With all these different use cases, it is easy to forget what a particular DNS record is for and it is not always possible to derive the purpose from the name, type and Continue reading

Microservices are loosely coupled software that provides flexibility and scalability to a cloud environment. However, securing this open architecture from vulnerabilities and malicious actors can be challenging without a service mesh.
This blog post will demonstrate how you can create an Istio and Calico integration to establish a service mesh that will manipulate HTTP traffic in the application layer. This Istio-Calico integration provides a unified way to write security policies interacting with applications and implement restrictions without disturbing the entire system.
A service mesh is a software layer that sits between the microservices that form your workload. After deploying and enabling a service mesh system for your workloads, an injector will add a sidecar container to each. These sidecars then collect and manipulate information via the rules you provide, allowing you to secure your cluster on an application level without requiring any change inside your software.
Without a service mesh, to ensure communication integrity and confidentiality between workloads, you must modify each to embed encryption methods. On top of that, gathering insight into the events that are happening in the application layer will require modifying the workload application itself, which all requires a good amount of Continue reading
Gartner has been saying that “next big thing” in network security is the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies for years now… Mainly because these technologies have the potential to revolutionize the way that network security is managed by enabling systems to learn and adapt to new threats in real-time.
One of the main benefits of using AI and ML in network security is that they can help to identify and mitigate threats much faster than traditional methods. This is because they can analyze vast amounts of data in real-time, and detect patterns and anomalies that might indicate the presence of a threat. In addition, they can be programmed to take specific actions in response to these threats, such as blocking access to a particular network resource or alerting security personnel.
Another benefit of using AI and ML is that they can help to reduce the workload of security professionals. By automating many of the tasks currently carried out manually, such as analyzing logs and identifying potential threats, AI and ML technologies can free up time for security professionals to focus on more critical tasks.
However, it is essential to note that using AI and Continue reading
