An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
Since our last briefing with Evolven in 2019, much has changed, and not just within the configuration and patches going on behind the scenes of its customers’ broad application and data estates.
A massive movement toward remote and hybrid work patterns, accompanied by an explosion of distributed cloud services atop legacy systems and the use of continuous delivery automation has made it all but impossible for IT Ops teams and SREs to keep up with the rate of change and configuration drift when assuring application stability.
Evolven was one of the first vendors to do thorough change control and management across an enterprise IT environment in conjunction with ITSM platforms like ServiceNow and observability platforms like AppDynamics, but thanks to new threats such as ransomware and supply chain attacks, they are increasingly being called in to provide risk insights at the heart of DevSecOps practices.
There’s a single-pane-of-glass control dashboard, automatic resource discovery and improved analytics views, yes, but the most interesting new capability is a configuration and change risk intelligence model that not only spots anomalies and unauthorized changes, but reconciles the enterprise’s risk posture against targeted compliance policies and security goals.
