Cybersecurity Should be a Priority in Any Digital Transformation

Digital technologies have emerged as the most fundamental tools for the survival of businesses in the fiercely-competitive modern marketplace. Implementation of modern technologies helps achieve the most desirable business objectives. However, the adoption of innovations to facilitate digital transformation also brings cybersecurity challenges too.

Using AI & ML to Identify Incident Causation

In this week’s podcast episode, we explore the role of AI and machine learning in incident management and response, including the benefits and potential future of these technologies. We welcome guest, Dan Buckley, Director NMS at Hughes Network Systems, who shares his experiences and insights on the subject, discussing the business value of AI and the current state of the AIOps ecosystem.

Cron Job Monitoring Beta - Because scheduled jobs fail too

Do your cron jobs (aka scheduled jobs) ever fail or not run as expected? Scheduled jobs are supposed to be predictable – as the name implies. But as with many things, predictable!= reliable. Cron jobs fail too and we think you should know when that happens, Crons allows you to monitor the uptime and performance of any scheduled, recurring job in Sentry. Once set up, you’ll get alerts and metrics to help you solve errors, detect timeouts, and prevent disruptions to your service.

Best practices to prevent alert fatigue

As your environment changes, new trends can quickly make your existing monitoring less accurate. At the same time, building alerts after every new incident can turn a straightforward strategy into a convoluted one. Treating monitoring as a one-time or reactive effort can both result in alert fatigue. Alert fatigue occurs when an excessive number of alerts are generated by monitoring systems or when alerts are irrelevant or unhelpful, leading to a diminished ability to see critical issues.
