Everbridge Expands Reach and Partnership Ecosystem of IT Alerting™: New Generation IT Response Automation Platform
Everbridge,
Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management
and incident response automation, has broadened the capabilities of its IT
Alerting™ platform while growing its partnership ecosystem during
the past quarter. This has increased industry recognition, new strategic
technology partnerships, and significant innovations for its customer
base.
According to a recent IDG
survey measuring critical IT incident response effectiveness, the
time spent to engage an IT response team can incur costs ranging from
$222,000 to more than $340,000 per major incident. With new and varied
challenges facing enterprise IT organizations at a global level, the
need for enhanced alerting platforms capable of uniting teams has never
been greater. Enterprise customers are selecting Everbridge's IT
Alerting solution to unify their approach to response management and to
streamline communications, collaboration, and orchestration processes to
resolve incidents faster.
"An increasing number of organizations worldwide have recognized and
adopted Everbridge IT Alerting to respond to the rapid rise in critical
IT needs at a global level," said Vick Vaishnavi, General Manager, IT
Alerting Business at Everbridge. "It is no longer feasible for
enterprises to maintain manual response processes in the face of IT
incidents such as cyber-attacks and application or infrastructure
failures, nor does it make sense to adopt a solution that fails to
quickly engage the appropriate personnel and notify impacted business
users. Everbridge leverages new generation technology to provide
closed-loop incident response automation that consistently alerts and
notifies the right stakeholders during an IT incident."
IT Alerting: True End-to-End IT Response Automation
This quarter, Everbridge has announced several critical enhancements to
its IT Alerting platform and now offers true end-to-end IT Response
Automation to restore services faster. These updates include:
-
Smart Orchestration™, which utilizes advanced cognitive analytics
techniques to go beyond Targeted Notifications and integrate
communication with collaboration and workflow automation.
-
Integration Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS™) for IT Alerting, enabling
enterprise IT organizations to easily build their own integrations
with the tools and solutions they already use, such as IT monitoring,
application performance monitoring (APM (News - Alert)), network performance
monitoring (NPM), security information and event management (SIEM),
event correlation, ticketing systems, DevOps, security, configuration
management databases, patch management, and release and change
management.
-
Everbridge has expanded its Technical Alliance Partnership eco-system
in the quarter to include Ayehu, Cherwell, IBM (News - Alert), and Zenoss. These
ready-to-use integrations make it easy for Everbridge customers to
automate the response to incidents across all areas of IT-service
operations, IT security operations, DevOps, and business
continuity/disaster recovery.
"For digital and IT transformation to take hold, the dialogue across IT
functional teams, and between IT and the business it serves, will need
to be optimized," said Dennis Drogseth (News - Alert), Vice President, Enterprise
Management Associates. "Enterprises are beginning to recognize the need
for a new kind of digital war room that goes well beyond basic
notification and equips an organization with tools for team integration
and collaboration, response management, and decision making. Everbridge
continues to address the needs of today's enterprise by eliminating
communications silos that inhibit incident response."
Security Operations Depth
The integrated Everbridge IT Alerting platform provides flexibility to
easily ingest events from current and future security information and
event management tools. Everbridge has honed its security operations
capabilities and knowledge through its new partnership with the Advanced
Cyber Security Center (ACSC), a non-profit and cross-sector regional
collaborative tht focuses on building a stronger community defense by
harnessing the collective resources of its members to solve common cyber
security problems.
Everbridge is also lending its technology and expertise to the IBM
Resilient Intelligent Orchestration Ecosystem, a robust hub of
enterprise-grade, bi-directional integrations supported by the world's
leading security companies. Delivered via the IBM
Security App Exchange, the integration of Everbridge's
communication, collaboration, and smart orchestration platform with the
advantages of the IBM Resilient platform enables customers to respond to
critical IT events and mitigate business impact and reputation costs
through consistent, predictable, and shorter incident resolution times.
Industry Recognition
As Everbridge continues to successfully address incident response from
multiple perspectives, ranging from DevOps to systems operations to
security ops, industry experts have taken notice of the platform's
impact. IT Alerting was recently selected as the winner in Pink
Elephant's 2017 IT Excellence Awards for Innovation of the Year,
which honor individual and corporate commitment to IT excellence and
ITSM best practices. At RSA 2018, IT Alerting was selected as a winner
