Artificial Intelligence and IT - Keys to a Great AIOps Solution

Artificial Intelligence (AI) – once the basis of Science fiction is now reality. Though it is often accused of being a mere buzzword, it is very difficult to overstate its impact on the human experience, and as AI’s integration becomes more global it is necessary to understand its potential. It is important to zero in on what AI has to offer Information Technology and how integrating an AIOps driven IT department is beneficial to an enterprise.

Take huge leaps with Honeycomb for Incident Response

As engineering teams shift from delivering services on monolithic architectures to microservices and even serverless environments, developers are no longer just responsible for creating and maintaining their code. Shared ownership has become the new normal (or at least trending towards) and so they are now responding to production incidents and in some cases in the on-call rotation. Of course incidents vary in terms of impact, but they do take time away from innovation and creating new capabilities.

Your Employees Are Superheroes, but This Superpower Might Be a Security Risk

Many people are working from home (WFH) now and will be for at least the next few weeks. The VPN and TLS connections that remote workers rely on allow for secure access, and although these are not new connection types to monitor, the current WFH situation has created a significant increase in the number of these connections you must monitor. This new WFH scenario has made one thing easier: mobile users are no longer mobile.

Don't let an expired SSL certificate stop your site's traffic

SSL (Secure Socket Layers) certificates tell your site’s visitors that you are whom you say you are and creates an encrypted connection between your domain (anexampledomain.com) and the visitor. If your domain doesn’t supply a valid certificate, the browser throws up a wall that warns the user that the site isn’t trusted. Many things may happen that tell the browser to issue the warning, but the most common reason is due to an expired SSL certificate.
