What is AIOps? Simply put, AIOps uses big data, analytics and machine learning to automate and improve IT operations (ITOps). AI is particularly important in ITOps functions such as anomaly detection and event correlation, as it has the ability to analyze large volumes of network and machine data to find patterns, identify the cause of existing problems and find ways to forecast and prevent future issues.

What is OpenTelemetry? Simply put, OpenTelemetry is an open source observability framework. It offers vendor-agnostic or vendor-neutral APIs, software development kits (SDKs) and other tools for collecting telemetry data from cloud-native applications and their supporting infrastructure to understand their performance and health. Managing performance in today’s complex, distributed environment is extremely difficult.

Cybersecurity is never boring. In recent months, we’ve seen major cyberattacks on Las Vegas casinos and expanded SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules are top of mind. Is it any wonder we consistently recommend taking a proactive approach to secure your environment with a defense-in-depth strategy and appropriate monitoring? News outlets reported the recent compromise at the Identity and Authentication (IAM) firm, Okta.

When Cribl Stream becomes the center of your data universe, your individual settings, routes, pipelines, and packs become a critical aspect of your work. What happens if you lose access to the UI? If you are on a licensed version of Cribl Stream backing up the work that you are in Sources, Destinations, Routes, Pipelines, and Packs would be done easily using the GitOps remote repo.

Organizations collect technologies like kids collecting baseball cards. As a company’s IT strategy matures, it adds new technologies to supplement previously existing ones, just like kids add new rookie cards to their collections of classics. While kids can leave their baseball cards randomly piled in a shoebox, organizations need to carefully identify and track their IT assets so that they can appropriately manage digital performance and cybersecurity.

As cloud applications and services gain prominence amongst organizations, adversaries are evolving their toolset to target these cloud networks. The surge in remote work and teleconferencing presents unprecedented opportunities for nefarious activities. Enter the MITRE ATT&CK Framework, also known as a MITRE ATT&CK Matrix—a treasure trove for defending cloud infrastructure and on-premises infrastructure against the newest adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

For the past 20 years, the various stakeholder communities that together constitute the IT industry have attempted to address sustainability. The original efforts grew out of the realisation that even as far back as 2005, the hardware and software that underlay the digital world were responsible for approximately 5% of overall energy consumption and that both the percentage and absolute amounts of energy required were growing in the double digits.

Baseball fans know about the various in-game statistics and actions requiring someone to keep them as records. From a player's overall performance at-bat to a game's final score at the bottom of the ninth, dozens (possibly hundreds) of different statistics are happening throughout a season. In Major League Baseball, these records are essential for the team owner, front office workers and coaches to figure out strategies on the diamond or how to distribute fair pay.
