With up to 70% of security events going uninvestigated, security analysts need all the help they can get. After a security event, many organizations often don’t know for months (or even years) when why or how it happened. But this limited approach causes challenges in today’s hybrid multicloud reality.

Leveraging business analytics tools helps ensure their experience is zero-friction–a critical facet of business success. How do business analytics tools work? IT teams have traditionally relied on internal metrics to estimate business impact. While analytics are one challenge, there remains another: silos.

With siloed data sources, heterogeneous data types—including metrics, traces, logs, user behavior, business events, vulnerabilities, threats, lifecycle events, and more—and increasing tool sprawl, it’s next to impossible to offer users real-time access to data in a unified, contextualized view. Understanding the context.

A modern observability and analytics platform brings data silos together and facilitates collaboration and better decision-making among teams.

In IT and cloud computing, observability is the ability to measure a system’s current state based on the data it generates, such as logs, metrics, and traces. If you’ve read about observability, you likely know that collecting the measurements of logs, metrics, and distributed traces are the three key pillars to achieving success.

In many cases, events are generated as these workloads go through different phases of their life cycles. For instance, events appear when the scheduler performs actions to bring workloads back to a desired state. For better or worse, every Kubernetes user learns about the CrashLoopBackOff and ImagePullBackOff events.
