The Unplanned Show, Episode 7: Death of the Single Security Pane of Glass with Heather Hinton
In this episode, Heather Hinton describes how security teams can evolve away from spending cycles on “silly little jobs” and scouring multiple sources to try to identify the kinds of unplanned interrupt work that needs to be dealth with urgently. Instead, they can complete projects faster and take on more because on-call rotations are spent getting work done (with the occasional interruption) instead of “seeking” for the interrupt work. We also discuss how this fits in with encouraging broader employees to participate in security hygiene practices.

According to Cloud Data Insights in a recent report, around 71% of IT companies say that cloud observability logs are growing at an alarming rate— a driving factor for rising observability costs.
From Battlefield to Business: Applying the OODA Loop
In today's dynamic world of software development and system operations, making informed decisions and developing effective strategies rely heavily on data.

This is then followed by a Feedback stage (not represented in the OODA acronym for some reason) before the cycle repeats itself, allowing for continuous optimization.
