Monitoring in ICS and what we all do wrong

40 minutes
Chris Henne

When implementing a monitoring solution, we want to monitor everything. More data equal better decisions, right? So, every box is pointed at the monitoring solution and gigabytes upon gigabytes a day of logs are collected. We now have heaps of data, but what are we doing with it? How do we create value from the collection of data we have? When looking for a needle in a haystack, does adding more hay help or hinder the search? We need to ask questions of our data (analysis), learn something new based on the questions (insight) and then do something based on what we learned (action). Turning data into action is hard. What if we start with an action we would make and then look for the right data that tells us to act, wouldn't this be a smarted approach?
