Think about this—what was the last incident that challenged you? Did you learn anything from it? It will be shocking to no one to hear that we deal with our fair share of incidents. These run the gamut from tiny bugs to significant outages (thankfully, the latter happening only very rarely 😮💨). Either way, we always take the time to learn from them in some way. This might look like changes to our response processes or revisiting systems we’re using.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is an approach to cybersecurity that combines advanced technologies, skilled analysts, and a proactive response process to detect, investigate, and remediate cyber threats. MDR is typically delivered as a service by a third-party provider and includes a range of security capabilities, such as threat intelligence, behavior analysis, anomaly detection, and incident response.
As software development continues to evolve and become more complex, the need for efficient and effective deployment strategies has become increasingly important. This is where deployment pipelines come in. When it comes to software development, a deployment pipeline is a powerful automated tool that facilitates the fast and accurate transition of new code changes and updates from version control to the production environment.
This is the story of an insurance company that was getting six million IT alerts every 90 days and how they used BigPanda’s AIOps to reduce it to less than 50,000. Before we get into that though, let’s take a step back. How did we, as an IT sector, get to a place where organizations receive 6,000,000 IT alerts in the first place?
Be sure to register for the launch webinar on Thursday, March 30th to learn more about the latest release from the PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Rundeck by PagerDuty has long helped organizations bridge operational silos and automate away IT tasks so teams can focus more time on building and less time putting out fires. And while this mission still rings true today, our vision is to extend this reality and revolutionize all operations while continuing to build trust.
Mean Time To Repair, or MTTR, is a critical metric in IT incident management that measures the average time it takes to fix a system failure. The meaning of MTTR can be understood as the average duration needed for an IT team to recover from an incident. It is a fundamental metric for IT teams to track and analyze their efficiency in resolving incidents.
Incident Management has evolved considerably over the last couple of decades. Traditionally having been limited to just an on-call team and an alerting system, today it has evolved to include automated Incident Response combined with a complex set of SRE workflows.
