Today’s enterprises deal with sprawling, intricate environments with potential vulnerabilities, rapid development cycles, and hidden dangers. The traditional security approach, often isolated from other practices, is struggling to keep pace with the latest threat(s) on the horizon. Adversaries, who can switch up their tactics at a moment’s notice, exploit fragmented defenses while organizations remain oblivious to the hidden shadows in their environment.

This convergence of security and observability can also:
• Streamline data, tools, and workflows
• Empower both the observability and security teams
• Introduce the power of generative AI insights

Within this Spotlight paper, we cover high-level strategies for combining security and
observability data. This is not a unique, niche problem. It will grow alongside the complexity
and size of enterprise footprints, which now comprise hybrid and multi-cloud. As you read
this paper, we recommend comparing what is described here with the challenges in your
environment to determine whether a combined approach would benefit your operations and
security teams.
