Cloud Visibility Is a Top Priority That Companies Can’t Quite Achieve

As more enterprises move their workloads to the cloud, gaining visibility into both application and data traffic is becoming a top priority, but enterprises can’t meet this priority. This is according to new research from Ixia, a monitoring company under Keysight Business, and Dimensional Research, which found that eight out of 10 companies increased their cloud workloads in 2018, but only 20 percent of respondents felt their company was able to “accurately” monitor these environments. Of this perplexing paradox, Scott Register, VP of product management for cloud and security at Ixia, said “We live in a world where cloud is the new normal, but we’re still learning what the new normal means when it comes to visibility, security monitoring, and application performance monitoring.”
