In recent years, the demand for real-time remediation solutions has been on the rise as organizations seek to streamline their support operations and improve customer satisfaction. Real-time remediation solutions are designed to help IT support teams quickly identify and resolve user issues by automating common troubleshooting tasks and providing actionable insights. Another reason for the rise in demand is the massive shift to work from anywhere that has occurred post COVID-19. According to Gartner, Inc. a research and advisory firm, it is predicted that work from anywhere will continue to rise. By year-end 2023, 48% of knowledge workers will be working hybrid and fully remote, up from 27% in 2019, with 39% of those working hybrid, up from 12% in 2020.

Hybrid is no longer just an employee perk but an employee expectation, challenging employers to create a human-centric approach to “hybrid.” However, there is no sign of a decline in hybrid work. According to a Gartner, Inc. Hybrid Work Employee Survey, 74% of hybrid or remote employees say their expectations for working flexibly have increased. Only 4% of current hybrid or remote employees have a preference for an on-site arrangement. This hybrid working shift creates a challenge for IT admins to have the ability to monitor and remediate remote endpoints, and this is where real-time remediation solutions come in. This whitepaper will examine the current market for real-time remediation solutions, including key trends, challenges, and opportunities.

AIOps Best Practices for IT Teams & Leaders
What is AIOps & why does it matter for today’s enterprises? Gartner first coined the term AIOps in 2016 to describe an industry category for machine learning and analytics technology that enhances IT operations analytics. Learn how AIOps helps manage IT systems performance and improve customer experience.

AIOps is an umbrella term for underlying technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning that automate the determination and resolution of IT issues in modern, distributed IT environments.

Here's a brief overview on how AIOps solution work:

  • AIOps data usually comes from different MELT sources.
  • Then, big data technologies aggregate and organize it, reduce noise, find patterns and isolate anomalies.
  • The AIOps automated resolution system resolves known issues and hands over the complicated scenarios to IT teams.

Learn from this whitepaper on what are the Best Practices IT Teams and IT Leaders should follow in implementing AIOps in their enterprise.

7 Trends in Endpoint Security
Endpoint security has become increasingly critical in today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape. With the proliferation of remote work, cloud adoption, and the rise of sophisticated cyber attacks, businesses face numerous challenges in protecting their endpoints. This report outlines the top 7 trends in endpoint security for 2023, providing IT and security leaders with valuable insights to enhance their endpoint security strategies.

The "Top 7 Trends in Endpoint Security for 2023" report provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of endpoint protection. It emphasizes the increasing importance of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), which operates on the principle that no user or device should be inherently trusted, thereby enhancing security through strict access controls and continuous monitoring.

The report also highlights the shift towards cloud-native endpoint security, offering scalability and real-time protection, especially vital with the rise of remote work. Additionally, the adoption of thin-managed operating systems is discussed, noting their role in reducing attack surfaces by securely connecting to cloud-based resources.

The integration of Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platforms is presented as a means to streamline security operations by consolidating data from various sources. Furthermore, the report underscores the significance of a human-centric approach to security, advocating for comprehensive employee training and fostering a culture of security awareness.

Advancements in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions are also covered, highlighting features like proactive threat hunting and automated responses. Lastly, the report discusses the role of security orchestration and automation in improving incident response times and operational efficiency.
