Keys to Future-Proofing Unemployment Insurance Benefits Programs Against Fraud

One of the essential goals of the DevOps methodology is to establish a more concise approach to software delivery, using a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) approach. However, to streamline the cycle you need three additional elements: Security, Observability and AIOps.

Since the start of 2020, many businesses have had no choice but to accelerate their digital transformation. Pre-COVID-19, just 18% of customer interactions were digital, which rapidly increased to 55% once the pandemic took hold. Applications have been modernized, and moved to microservices running on containers generating a lot of "unknown unknowns". This is why Observability is a must. Understanding these (now observable) environments is a data intensive exercise that requires artificial intelligence (AIOps), making sense of that data for DevOps, but also ensuring proper compliance and risk management. Join this session to explore the answers to:

What are the key components of a DevSecOps architecture?
Why is Observability critical for a successful DevSecOps approach?
Is Security the fourth pillar of Observability?
Why, without AI, is Observability just “data”?

Why DevSecOps Can't Exist Without Observability and AIOps

This year’s global ‘State of Observability’ report published by Splunk and ESG Research, reveals that IT leaders’ investments in observability have driven notable improvements in areas such as digital experience, and multicloud adoption. Still a relatively new discipline, observability has continued to gain ground since our first report in 2021; and analysts now advise that it is to be considered a solid aspect of modern IT, rather than just a fleeting fad.

Mature observability practitioners already agree, reporting 69% better MTTR for unplanned downtime/degradation. On top of this, they see the average cost of downtime associated with business-critical internally developed applications being 10X lower than those seen by observability beginners ($2.5 million versus $23.8 million)!

This fireside chat will cover the key findings from this latest report, explore the benefits of observability, and shine a light on the future associated challenges. Join us to learn:

- Observability maturity levels across Europe
- Key findings on observability benefits and negative outcomes
- Why observability is critical for multicloud environments
- How multicloud and observability impacts skill requirements, cost of downtime, and customer satisfaction
- How observability increases innovation
- Top recommendations for a successful observability strategy
