Security teams have the tough job of monitoring and securing every single workload in each cloud and for workloads in the development pipeline. Inevitably, these processes wind up being a bottleneck from the developer’s perspective, and developers get frustrated. Understandably, developers feel like security is simply making their jobs harder. But, on the other hand, security teams feel like they’re powerless to provide full coverage.

Major-incident war rooms are synonymous with stress. Pressure from executives, digging for a needle in a haystack, too much noise—it’s all weight on your hardworking technical teams. Incident responders clearly need a more effective way to collaborate across various technical teams. A method that both minimizes interruptions and keeps stakeholders up to date while ensuring everyone has the right level of context to do their job.

An observability solution should help any incident responder understand what changed and why. A lot has been written on the difference between monitoring and observability, but an easy way to understand how both are integral to incident response is to consider how customers use PagerDuty—with both monitoring and observability tools—to get to the right answer.

We are delighted to welcome you to another PagerDuty Summit and excited to announce a plethora of product developments designed to help you accelerate your digital transformation. And what an accelerator the COVID-19 pandemic has been for innovation. It really brought into focus the seemingly distant goal of becoming digital-first. Organizations who were truly prepared and benefited from the radical shift in how they did business thrived and rose to the top.
