For 83% of companies, a cyber incident is just a matter of time (IBM). And when it does happen, it will cost the organization millions, coming in at a global average of $4.35 million per breach. Add to that stringent data protection laws and the growing frequency and reach of ransomware and other sophisticated attacks.
Gartner’s IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference (IOCS) is an annual event that attracts ITOps, SRE, and DevOps leaders from around the world. As Gartner explains, IOCS “brings the world’s technology leaders together to hear top trends, find objective answers, and explore topic coverage in addition to best practices. Gain the insights and guidance to create an effective pathway to the future and network with your peers.”
Effective monitoring and observability tools are critical for modern enterprises. Daily operations, digital transformation, moving to a cloud-native architecture, and an ever-evolving tech stack all require ITOps, DevOps, and SRE teams to monitor increasingly complex systems. So what happens if your applications suddenly cease to function? Every moment of downtime translates to lost income, decreased customer satisfaction, and harm to your company’s reputation.
Throughout 2023, one thing has become abundantly clear: regardless of an organization’s size or industry, incidents are inevitable. Recently across the APAC region, we’ve seen numerous regulatory bodies clamp down on large companies who are failing to provide acceptable service, with some handing out quite severe penalties. For many, the cost of an incident is no longer just lost revenue and customer trust, but financial penalties and business restrictions.
What a year 2023 was at incident.io! While it's hard to summarize 365 days into just a few sentences, a handful of moments stood out from this transformative year: So as we close the curtain on a momentous 2023, we sat down with the three co-founders of incident.io—Chris, Stephen, and Pete—to do a bit of reflection on the wild ride that was this year.
When declaring and responding to an incident with incident.io, most of your interactions with our product will go via Slack. You might configure your forms in our web dashboard, but the responder using them to declare an incident is most likely doing so from a Slack modal, and the incident announcement will be posted as a Slack message. This means a lot of our product design falls within the constraints of what we can build using Slack’s block kit.
You’re focused on swiftly identifying, analyzing, and resolving disruptions in IT services.
