On decreasing incident response time

Original Entry by : Boni Bruno

Seems like security incidents are occurring more often with mild to significant impact on consumers and various organizations, such as Target and Sony.

Referring to the Verizon Data Breach Report year after year confirms that incident response times to such incidents are increasing, rather than decreasing, with root cause identification of the problems not occurring for months after the security incident in many cases. This can cause a pessimistic view among many security teams, however, there are a lot of good things happening in the security space that I want to share with you.

Network (In)Visibility Leads to IT Blame Game

Original Entry by : Mike Heumann

Significant changes in the structure and use of IT, including such seismic trends as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), virtualization and cloud computing, have introduced new challenges to IT administrators and staff. Added layers of complexity require new skill sets and knowledge bases as well as tools to effectively run a modern enterprise network. This raises a few questions about how IT teams are coping with the changes.

Dynatrace-Endace Partnership Enhances AA-NPM with EndaceProbe

Original Entry by : Mike Heumann

While at Cisco Live today, I was struck by the traffic patterns on the show floor.  Wherever there was a traffic jam, it seemed as though it was caused by a few people walking slower than everyone else, or by a momentary obstruction that halted traffic.  Enterprise networks share many of the same attributes (and problems) that show floors do in that respect.  The part that makes it worse for enterprise networks (vs. show floors) is that there are mission-critical applications that run on top of these networks.  When networks have performance issues (even momentary ones), the impact on these applications can be catastrophic.

Make Sure March Madness Doesn’t Live Up to its Name

Original Entry by : Mike Heumann

Last month, we talked about how to keep the Winter Olympics from clogging up your networks as employees raced to stream live events during the workday.  Well, in the U.S., today and tomorrow are two of the biggest sports streaming days of the year.  Although we’ve already seen some play-in games this week, when Ohio State and Dayton tip-off this afternoon in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, the annual “madness” repeats itself all over again. This is because this next slate of games will run almost continually over the coming 36 hours, mostly during regular business hours.  And let’s be honest, most of us want to sneak a peek at the scores and witness some of the thrilling upsets that happen every year.

Application Delivery – Mean Time To Innocence

Original Entry by : Sri Sundaralingam

In the world of application delivery and performance management, it’s not easy on the applications or networking operations side to troubleshoot and resolve end-to-end issues. I‘m sure you have heard of Mean Time To Resolution (MTTR); frequently used for measuring how long it takes to resolve a particular problem from the time a trouble ticket is open to when the problem is resolved (i.e. when the ticket is closed). Have you heard of Mean Time To Innocence (MTTI), which is basically the metric for how long it takes to prove the issue wasn’t your responsibility?
