As patient care continues to evolve, IT teams have accelerated this shift from legacy, on-premises systems to cloud technology to more build, test, and deploy software, and fuel healthcare innovation. That includes failures in parts of a system that occur at similar times and have a common root cause. Emerging security threats.

There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. Hence, one way to reduce risk is to make systems more observable.
