“Networking, cybersecurity, and observability are becoming intertwined,” said Mark Leary, Research Director with IDC.
Gigamon, a company that specialises in deep observability, has released the results of a new research study from International Data Corporation (IDC) that provides valuable insights for IT organisations, CIOs, and CISOs on how to drive performance, protection, and productivity across their digital infrastructures through observability.
DevOps relies on observability to manage large workloads and extract intelligence from data. In context, Observability means monitoring cloud workloads using MELT (metrics, events, logs, and traces.) On the other hand, Deep Observability provides a network-based perspective, extracting network intelligence and improving security, resulting in faster incident detection and resolution.
The study surveyed over 900 IT leaders worldwide and highlighted the importance of network-derived intelligence and insights in detecting sophisticated security threats across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure.
Enhancing traditional observability capabilities with real-time network-derived intelligence and insights is essential to tackle today’s constantly changing security landscape. This will help effectively manage security risks in hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure.
Deep observability is crucial for organisations to get the most out of observability across their on-premises systems and cloud services, core and edge components, and cybersecurity functions.
“Networking, cybersecurity, and observability are becoming intertwined. IT organisations are looking to leverage an immutable source of truth and more collaborative management efforts to break down siloed technology approaches, position themselves for long-term success, and, ultimately, deliver the best possible business outcomes,” said Mark Leary, Research Director with IDC.
The results presented herein are grounded in a survey by IDC, comprising more than 900 IT leaders of various nationalities hailing from North America, APAC, and EMEA. The survey was comprehensive, consisting of respondents from various industries such as finance, manufacturing, retail/wholesale, healthcare, transportation/utilities, education, government, and professional services.
All the respondents held positions of management or above and were entrusted with crucial decision-making responsibilities concerning observability functions and solutions across a spectrum of IT operational domains, namely networking, security, and cloud.
