All Things Open, a conference focused on open source technologies, was held in Raleigh, NC this week and was bursting at the seams with over 4,500 attendees.

The world is changing. The way we do business, the way we communicate, and the way we secure the enterprise are all vastly different today than they were 20 years ago.

Here are a few updates you can look forward to in LogDNA’s log management and analysis features.
