At Vanta, our goal is to nurture a positive security culture in everything we do—which is especially critical given that helping our customers improve their security and compliance posture starts with our own. Employees are the key to our security resilience, so we strive to build and support a strong culture of incident response in tandem. Here’s what that means to us at Vanta.

In any high pressure situation, the key to fast action is preparedness. And that’s true when it comes to incidents, too. Documenting and training your team on your incident response processes is essential to ensuring a coordinated and efficient response effort. And training sessions, or game days, as they’re sometimes called, are one way to get everyone up to speed.

Today, PagerDuty launched a new AIOps solution to leverage the power of AI, provide built-in automation and build on the company’s foundation data model to transform modern operations for the enterprise. PagerDuty has long suppressed noise to help distributed development teams focus.

After a longer period without a major update, our April 2023 update has it in for it – promised!

Root cause analysis (RCA) is a systematic approach to defining symptoms, identifying contributing factors, and repairing faults when problems arise. The process can be applied to virtually any problem in any industry, from NASA’s Apollo 13 mission to everyday tech problems that happen within modern IT departments.

Four years ago tomorrow, our team rang the bell to open the NYSE for PagerDuty’s IPO. We spent two weeks traveling to meet hundreds of prospective investors in person, sustained by a diet of Cheetos and green M&Ms, sneaker-clad walks to meetings, and unwinding with bad karaoke. We’ve grown in many ways in our first four years as a public company. We have more than doubled the number of customers on the PagerDuty platform, and nearly tripled the number of users.

I see it daily in my role, IT organizations are paying for best-of-breed monitoring tools but struggle to tie the pieces together between these siloed systems. The wound of these silos is further punctured when incidents arise. Incidents are costly for so many reasons, like wasted company resources, potential revenue loss, customer satisfaction, employee burnout, etc. This is exactly why BigPanda exists, to apply AI to the complex problems IT operations, NOC, SRE, and DevOps teams face daily.
