While the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted business models around the world, the adoption of modern application and cloud technologies continues to grow. This year’s Continuous Intelligence Report by Sumo Logic provides an inside look into the state of the modern application technology stack, including changing trends in cloud and application adoption and usage by customers, and the impact of COVID-19 as an accelerant for digital transformation efforts.

Whether it’s Cyber Monday deals or streaming the Super Bowl to millions of users, website’s traffic management & SRE teams often struggle to deliver a reliable user experience.

We are pleased to share with you that the Sumo Logic Continuous Intelligence Platform™ was granted authority to operate at a Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate impact level.

We take an API-first approach to our product at Sumo Logic—everything you can do in the UI can be done via API. I talked about several use cases for automation with Sumo Logic APIs in my presentation at Illuminate 2020. Here’s a recap of what I covered.

At Illuminate, Genesys Cloud principal architect Kal Patel shared how they use Sumo Logic, how they manage it at scale, and some of the lessons they’ve learned in the last year.

At Sumo Logic, we’re dealing with a large amount of data. To help our customers explore the data quickly and effectively, our product lets them write Logs, Metrics, and Tracing queries. One of the challenges we dealt with recently was improving the query building experience in our new, revamped Metrics UI.

Digital business transformation requires a fast-moving, collaborative culture. As companies on this fast track focus on innovation and speed to market, they inherently introduce more risk from the inside. Furthermore, in 2020, remote work became the norm, requiring increased adoption of cloud collaboration technologies. This shift caused a sudden acceleration of insider risk like we’ve never seen before.

If you’re a product on the web, you have less than a second to impress your customers. Web application performance is crucial to the success of online products. Using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) like Cloudflare can provide just the edge you need.

Dashboard (New) offers a host of new visualization types, like honeycombs, time series, combination graphs, maps and more. With customizable templated dashboards, observing your system is easier than ever before. Dark theme is designed to help you do all of these actions comfortably by reducing strain to your eyes in low light environments. So you can continue to monitor and troubleshoot your systems without hurting your eyes.

At Illuminate 2020, Kashif Iqbal, Head of Corporate Technology and Cyber Security at SEGA Europe, shared their data security challenges and how they currently leverage Sumo Logic for their security needs.

One of Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) most well-known services is AWS DynamoDB. Some of AWS’s most notable customers use DynamoDB for their database needs – companies such as Netflix, The Pokemon Company, and Snapchat.

As cloud infrastructure grows and develops, reliable and safe management of containers across multiple cloud providers grows increasingly important - accelerating the adoption of Kubernetes (K8s). Orchestration technologies like Kubernetes (K8s) automate the deployment and scaling of containers, and they also ensure the reliability of applications and workloads running on containers.

Open source has come a long way. One of my favorite reports on the subject is Red Hat’s State of Enterprise Open Source. For 2020, 95% of respondents said that open source is strategically important to their business needs. Here, I will be recapping my recent Illuminate presentation about embracing open source data collection and I thought it’s important to first talk about how open source has changed.

In the wake of the widely publicized FireEye breach and the alarming SolarWinds supply chain attack, this presents an ideal opportunity for reflection on the broader shift taking place across the world—the transition from legacy on-prem infrastructures to the cloud. When a sophisticated nation-state obtains utilities intended for Red Team activities-- all but assuring nefarious intent-- it should give our community pause as to the collective state of security readiness should an attacker leverage such tools.

At Sumo Logic Illuminate 2020, The Energy Authority’s IT Director for Service Delivery and Support Scott Follick spoke about the TEA, how they do things, what they have learned in the process of searching for a SIEM solution, and why they chose Sumo.

With almost every blog you read about monitoring, troubleshooting, or more recently, the observability of modern application stacks, you’ve probably read a statement saying that complexity is growing as a demand for more elasticity increases which makes management of these applications increasingly difficult.

During Sumo Logic’s Illuminate user conference, Heath Hendrickson, senior security architect at the Clorox company, and Gary Conner, senior threat protection lead, presented how they are leveraging Sumo Logic across security operations, threat hunting, IT operations, and more. 

Aurora, a hosted relational database service available on the Amazon cloud, is a popular solution for teams that want to be able to work with tooling that is compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL without running an actual MySQL or PostgreSQL database.
