Traditional security monitoring tools are becoming outdated

Traditional security monitoring tools are becoming outdated as businesses face increasing complexity in their IT infrastructure. These tools were reactive, only alerting users to issues, while modern needs require proactive observability solutions that can predict and resolve problems before they escalate. OpenTelemetry (OTel) is gaining traction as a key standard for observability, allowing companies to collect data without being tied to specific vendors. This shift enables organizations to enhance their data usage and streamline operations, particularly with the integration of AI technologies. As demand for observability tools rises, companies are expected to double their spending in 2025. Many organizations are looking to consolidate their monitoring solutions into fewer, more effective tools that provide comprehensive visibility and proactive management of their IT environments.
