By Eric Boger, VP Risk Intelligence It has become increasingly evident that the complexities and challenges that defined the risk landscape of 2023 will almost certainly persist throughout 2024 and beyond. Enterprises will continue to grapple with a relentless and intricate risk landscape; rather than facing isolated threats, they are confronted with a complex web of interconnected challenges.

Mitigating business risk is a key enterprise priority. To avoid unnecessary exposure to the business, technical teams need a proactive approach to managing incidents. While this is a well-known challenge, it’s also much easier said than done. Over the years, many organizations have cobbled together their own bespoke processes for managing different types of incidents.

Explore how AI-powered tools like Slack, Salesforce, Canva, and Rootly are revolutionizing the way we work.

At Squadcast, we're continually striving to empower our users with the tools they need to handle incidents swiftly and effectively. Today, we're thrilled to announce the launch of our latest feature: Additional Responders. This feature marks a significant step forward in enhancing collaboration and coordination during incident response.

Behind the scenes of any IT infrastructure lies the ongoing challenge of monitoring and managing never-ending systems, applications, and network devices. As an IT professional, your task list always includes staying ahead of potential issues, minimizing downtime, and navigating disruptive alerts.

You can elevate your IT infrastructure monitoring with AIOps. AIOps offers full-stack visibility, enhancing IT infrastructure monitoring efforts. This lets you transform the familiar monitoring landscape by turning the chaos of constant alerts into a proactive approach to problem-solving. IT infrastructure monitoring challenges typically relate to the complexity of backend systems, especially when it comes to cloud platforms. For example, consider the following.

Over the last five years we’ve seen our customers run 583,954 incidents more efficiently thanks to a shared workspace, powerful Runbook automations, and auto-captured data. Yet despite a great deal of progress, incident efficiency hasn’t achieved peak potential. We talk to a lot of folks that are still stuck in the muck: new responders struggle to get up to speed quickly, incident commanders wade through post-incident drudgery, and knowledge silos prevent comprehensive improvements.

Rootly On-Call streamlines incident management with automated scheduling, noise reduction, and centralized documentation. It mitigates on-call fatigue with features like flexible overrides, shift visibility, and shadow rotations, enhancing team well-being and preventing burnout.

You might have heard of MTTR or MTBF. They are all important factors that make up incident management. Incident management refers to all the managerial processes behind bringing a site back to its uptime when it suddenly encounters any unplanned fault. And that is precisely why managing them is important. We must keep our site up-to-date so that downtimes are reduced, and customers can access any information with the least wait time.
