For years, high availability (HA) was treated as a redundancy problem: duplicate servers, replicate databases, maintain a secondary site and ensure that if something failed, there was a plan B waiting. That model worked when applications were monolithic, topologies were simple, and traffic variability was low. Today the environment looks different: applications are split into…

Talking about cloud today is no longer about a technological trend, but about a central piece of the business. More and more companies are moving their infrastructure to cloud providers under the promise of less hardware, less maintenance, fewer licenses and less time spent on activities that do not generate value. Much of that promise…

Web applications and APIs are now the operational core of most digital services. They process transactions, expose business logic, manage identities, and connect distributed systems that evolve continuously. In parallel, the volume and sophistication of attacks has increased, driven by automation, accessible tooling, and cloud-specific attack vectors. Web Application Firewalls remain a critical part of…

Modern application delivery architectures are built with the right goals in mind. Load balancers distribute traffic, Web Application Firewalls enforce security policies, TLS protects data in transit, and monitoring systems promise observability across the stack. On paper, everything seems covered. In real production environments, however, many of these architectures operate with critical blind spots. Especially…

Open-source software has been one of the most transformative forces in the technology sector. Operating systems, databases, web servers, and encryption libraries that we now consider essential exist thanks to thousands of developers who chose to release their code so that anyone could study it, modify it, and improve it. This model has enabled companies…

In the network security ecosystem, here is a common practice: WAF (Web Application Firewall) solutions that boast thousands of active rules. For an administrator evaluating products, that number may seem reassuring — more rules should theoretically mean more protection. But when you dig deeper, you quickly discover that many of those rules don’t apply to…

Community Edition is the open source load balancer from SKUDONET, designed for engineers and administrators who need traffic control without relying on costly or complex solutions. Built on Debian 12.8, it provides a stable and secure operating system with performance far above what is typical in free software: Up to 250,000 TCP requests per second…

Today, virtually every business depends on its online infrastructure. Companies manage multiple websites, internal applications, or e-commerce platforms that must remain available at all times. As these environments grow, maintenance and stability become as critical as security — and every change must be applied without affecting the user experience. Maintaining uptime during configuration changes requires…

In security discussions, the term DDoS is often used as if it referred to a single type of threat. In reality, today it covers two very different strategies that share the same goal but not the same execution: volumetric attacks at layers L3/L4 and application exhaustion attacks at layer 7. Both aim to take a…
