Federal networks, as intricate ecosystems in perpetual expansion, not only encompass infrastructure layers but also incorporate end users, devices, and applications. Amidst emerging challenges like complying with zero-trust protocols and enhancing end-user experiences, many federal agencies rely on solutions offering mere up/down visibility. This reliance exposes agency networks to blind spots, cost overruns, and security vulnerabilities. The antidote? Embracing complete, end-to-end unified observability, furnishing a holistic 360-degree perspective of network landscapes. Riverbed's Federal CTO, John Pittle, delved into the obstacles facing federal IT teams, showcased customer success stories, and elucidated how Riverbed’s Unified Observability portfolio furnishes indispensable insight across contemporary federal networks.

During this webinar, participants gained insights into:

• The paramount importance of prioritizing visibility, security, and cost in selecting network solutions.
• Uncovering hidden expenses associated with network monitoring tools.
• Understanding the ramifications of zero-trust implementations, user experience enhancements, and IT modernization efforts on network dynamics.
• Distinguishing between point monitoring tools and comprehensive observability platforms.
• Identifying risks associated with solely monitoring infrastructure components.
• Recognizing the pivotal role of unified observability in achieving comprehensive data capture and beyond.
