In this ebook, we offer an overview of Apache Kafka: what it is, and how tech organizations can use it to enable real-time data and actionable information ‘in flight’.
Download our ebook to learn:
- The origins and the future of event streaming.
- The benefits of managed microservices for your teams and business.
- Apache Kafka®, its extended ecosystem, and how it can work for you.
Using ONGAA CAM To Program Wood CNCs
Process change is both difficult and inevitable but it can also be positive and profitable. At the same time, change for ‘no good reason’ is generally negative and expensive. Deciding that a change would be beneficial should be done during a full functional evaluation.
The following ‘Time studies’ are great examples of objectively evaluating software to ‘simplify’ standard procedures in the manufacturing of machined wood components.
These studies show the importance of reviewing processes before and after the ‘intended change’ to ensure process changes are truly beneficial and don’t just ‘move’ the load and costs from one area to another.
Why You Need ONGAA CAM
ONGAA CAM works much like WoodWOP in that you, as CNC programmer, decide what processes you want to use and what order they should be in. Tool options like feed, speed, approach and tool compensation are entered in ONGAA CAM. Unlike WoodWOP, instead of entering numbers from a drawing or calculator, you simply select the edges (geometry) you would like to reference.
Learning to use ONGAA CAM takes only minutes if you know how to use WoodWOP.

The State of Secrets Sprawl 2023
For the third year running, GitGuardian presents its State of Secrets Sprawl report, the most extensive analysis of secrets exposed on GitHub and beyond.
Their team of experts scanned and analyzed 1.027B new commits in 2022 (+20% compared to 2021) to uncover the latest trends and identify the most pressing challenges facing developers today.
The main question they seek to answer each year is, "How many new secrets were exposed on GitHub in the preceding year?" The answer is staggering: their analysis reveals 10 million new secrets occurrences were exposed on GitHub in 2022. That's a 67% increase compared to 2021.
Implementing Automated Secrets Detection for Application Security
Dev & Ops teams from large organizations use thousands of secrets like API keys and other credentials in order to interconnect these components together. As a result, they now have access to more sensitive information than companies can keep track of.
The risk is that these secrets are now spreading everywhere. We call “secrets sprawl” the unwanted distribution of secrets in all the systems developers use. Secrets sprawl is even more difficult to control with growing development teams, sometimes spread over multiple geographies. Not even taking into consideration that developers are under hard pressure due to a growing number of technologies to master and shortened release cycles.
In this whitepaper, GitGuardian looks at the implications of secrets sprawl, and presents solutions for Application Security to further secure the SDLC by implementing automated secrets detection in their DevOps pipeline.
