Why Now Is the Time to Combine Steadybit and PagerDuty for System Protection

The CrowdStrike outage in July 2024 highlighted the critical need for operational resilience in modern IT systems, as a faulty update led to widespread disruptions and significant financial losses. A survey revealed that 83% of IT executives recognized gaps in their readiness for such disruptions, underscoring the necessity for a comprehensive approach beyond just focusing on security. Combining Steadybit and PagerDuty offers a solution, with Steadybit using chaos engineering to proactively identify and mitigate vulnerabilities while PagerDuty ensures efficient incident response. This dual strategy allows organizations to simulate failures, validate response procedures, and train teams in controlled environments, ultimately bridging the gap between anticipating and managing disruptions. By doing so, businesses can enhance their systems' resilience, ensure operational continuity, and be better prepared for future large-scale incidents.
