Data Privacy Takeaways from Gartner Security & Risk Summit

A couple of weeks back, I had the opportunity to participate in the Gartner Security and Risk Summit held in National Harbor, MD. While my colleague, April Yep, has already shared insights on the sessions she attended, this blog will delve into the emerging data privacy concerns and explore how telemetry pipelines can effectively tackle these challenges. Two key drivers behind current privacy concerns are the adoption of Gen AI and increasing government regulations.

Mastering Telemetry Pipelines - Driving Compliance and Data Optimization

Telemetry (Observability) pipelines play a critical role in controlling telemetry data (logs, metrics, events, and traces). However, the benefits of pipeline go well beyond log volume and cost reductions. In addition to using pipelines as pre-processors of data going to observability and SIEM systems, they can be used to support your compliance initiatives. This session will cover how enterprises can understand and optimize their data for log reduction while reducing compliance risk.

Mastering Telemetry Pipelines: Driving Compliance and Data Optimization

I had the opportunity to present with Michael Fratto, Senior Research Analyst at S&P Global Market Intelligence, at a virtual event hosted by Redmond. We discussed how telemetry pipelines are critical in controlling telemetry data (logs, metrics, events, and traces). Mike shared excellent insights from his recent research survey that discussed the proliferation of observability tools in enterprises and the challenges organizations face in managing those tools. ‍

A Recap of Gartner Security and Risk Summit: GenAI, Augmented Cybersecurity, Burnout

Last week, on June 3 -5, I attended the Gartner Security and Risk Summit in National Harbor, MD to learn about the latest trends and happenings in security. One thing was clear, artifical intelligence (AI) is the hot topic along with the growing cybersecurity staff shortage due to burnout and lack of talent.

Why Telemetry Pipelines Should Be A Part Of Your Compliance Strategy

In 2023, the global regulatory fines exceeded a colossal $10.5bn. It is not an isolated story. For the past few years, data, privacy, and industry-specific regulations have been getting stricter, enforcement is becoming rigorous, and non-compliance fines are going through the roof. Just look at this list on CSO Online of the biggest data breaches and subsequent fines companies like Meta, Amazon, and Equifax experienced in recent history.
