An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is a network security and threat prevention tool. Its goal is to create a proactive approach to cybersecurity, making it possible to identify potential threats and respond quickly. IPS can inspect network traffic, detect malware and prevent exploits. IPS is used to identify malicious activity, log detected threats, report detected threats, and take precautions to prevent threats from harming users.

The definition of AIOps continues to evolve, but understanding the fundamentals of how it works can help you keep up and invest in the right AIOps platform, tools, and features. According to Gartner, AIOps “combines big data and machine learning to automate IT operations processes”. Specifically, Gartner explains that “AIOps platforms analyze telemetry and events, and identify meaningful patterns that provide insights to support proactive responses”.

IT Operations has always been difficult. There is always too much work to do—and not enough time to do it. The frequent interruptions and high levels of toil certainly don’t help. Moreover, there is relentless pressure from executives that question why everything takes too long, breaks too often, and costs too much. In search of improvement, we have repeatedly bet on new tools to improve our work.

Using anonymized data from 50,000 incidents, the Incident Benchmark Report reveals insights into the when, what, who, and how behind incidents and highlights behaviors that correlate to faster response times.
