Streamline macOS software updates with self-service patch management

Our macOS Patch Management automation streamlines the entire lifecycle of managing software updates for macOS operating systems. It includes a self-service implementation of opting in and out of the patch management pilot group via Tines pages and a ring 0/ring1 approach to distributing macOS operating system updates. Updates are initially pushed to the pilot group for testing, and after a week, they are rolled out to the production group. This automation neatly balances user empowerment, system security and stability, and overall reduction of our company's attack surface.

Manage Elasticsearch and GKE clusters via Slack bot

Capture the value of Tines in a non-security use case. At Elastic, the InfoSec team has a number of Elasticsearch clusters deployed on Kubernetes, using Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) on a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). The idea is that with a Slack bot, an engineer is able to interact with any Elasticsearch cluster and Kubernetes cluster and get more visibility about the health of the cluster and trigger further commands very easily. The features of this bot are the following: Ability to get a list of all GKE clusters from a GCP project and their respective status via Slack. Ability to check the health of Elasticsearch cluster, get shared allocation information and query Elasticseach to check the node disk space from Slack. Ability to get a list of all pods, services, and ingresses of a particular GKE cluster from Slack. Ability to restart a pod from Slack.
