The past few years have led to a significant increase in customer demands, and customer service agents are feeling the pressure. According to a recent Zendesk CX Trends report, 68% of agents report feeling overwhelmed. Here at PagerDuty, we believe that happier customer service agents lead to more positive customer interactions and stronger relationships with your brand.
With 2021 seeing 5.1 billion records breached and an annual increase in attacks at 11%, the risk of security incidents is only getting greater every year. And when an attack hits, the cost to recover, which includes fines, penalties, legal fees, and much more, are also great. To help minimize the scope of financial damage, many organizations turn to cyber insurance. Albeit a relatively new branch of insurance, demand is already huge and ever increasing.
Major outages are bound to occur in even the most well-maintained infrastructure and systems. Being able to quickly classify the severity level also allows your on-call team to respond more effectively. Imagine a scenario where your on-call team is getting critical alerts every 15 minutes, user complaints are piling up on social media, and since your platform is inoperative revenue losses are mounting every minute. How do you go about getting your application back on track? This is where understanding incident severity and priority can be invaluable. In this blog we look at severity levels and how they can improve your incident response process.
Following another successful PagerDuty Summit, development continues across several areas of the product.
