Choice, Control, and Flexibility: How Government agencies are solving the telemetry data dilemma

Keeping government operations running efficiently and securely is no easy task. To do so effectively requires IT operations and security teams to have maximum visibility into processes across all potential attack surfaces, so that they can ensure tools and systems are working both effectively and securely across an organization. To enable that visibility and efficacy, these teams rely on telemetry data — logs, metrics, and trace information — to provide them with the insight necessary to ensure that critical operations are functioning and secured optimally.

In today’s budget environment, efficiency isn’t just a bonus — it’s a mandate. Agencies must find smarter ways to gather, analyze, and act on telemetry data without overwhelming analysis tools, budgets, infrastructure, and their own critical staff.

But gathering and analyzing telemetry data, while critical to the mission, is both challenging and costly. Amid new budget pressures, what agencies need is a modern approach to telemetry data management, tools that deliver the visibility these teams require with control and flexibility to handle what is coming next.
