Deep Observability Defined
Taking observability to a whole new level to strengthen your security posture across the hybrid cloud
What is Observability?
Observability is the inspection of telemetry and log data covering application and infrastructure behavior across public and private cloud, physical, and on-premises infrastructure. Observability pipeline solutions deliver network and log-based telemetry data to observability and SIEM tools for monitoring and inspection.
What is deep observability and why is it key to better securing and managing hybrid cloud infrastructure?
Deep observability offers the added capability to efficiently deliver network-derived telemetry in the form of packets, flows, and application metadata, from multiple networks spanning data centers and public and private cloud instances, going beyond traditional metric, event, log, and trace (MELT) data to enhance your organization's security posture.

Defining the Addressable Market for Deep Observability
Staying Ahead of Emerging Cyber Threats
As cloud adoption accelerates, securing and managing hybrid cloud infrastructure is more costly and complex.
Security tools inspect North-South traffic, but often neglect East-West traffic. Given that 95 percent of all web traffic is encrypted, many organizations lack visibility into encrypted traffic and lateral movement, exposing them to threats existing tools can’t see.
Shifting toward a proactive security posture requires that your tools work in concert to detect emerging cyber threats like ransomware, insider threats, and data exfiltration, helping to close the cybersecurity preparedness gap.
Traditional tools gain visibility through MELT data, limiting how deeply they can monitor. Deep observability enables you to extract intelligence directly from network traffic and efficiently deliver it to your tools in real time. This helps to:
