PagerDuty and Teleport: System access and role escalation when you need it

You may know that PagerDuty has over 600 integrations that add a wide variety of functionality to the core platform and workflows.

10 questions teams should be asking for faster incident response

2019 and 2020 were worlds apart. Our entire ways of working, living, socializing, and learning were changed almost overnight. Over the last 18 months, technical teams have had to double down on all their digital efforts to help their customers adapt to the new normal. At the same time, teams were responsible for more unplanned work than ever as incidents steadily rose. For the first time, we’ve created the State of Digital Operations Report which is based on PagerDuty platform data.

PagerDuty Integration Spotlight: Buildkite

PagerDuty’s Change Events are a powerful way to collect information from your service ecosystem. To maintain velocity as your application deployments scale, every second counts. Integrating Buildkite with PagerDuty ensures you have all the information you need, when you need it. After you install the integration from the PagerDuty Service Directory, you’ll be able to configure your #Buildkite pipelines to send change events to your services whenever a build completes, pass or fail.

PagerDuty Integration Spotlight: Teleport

Just-in-time System Access and Role Escalation. Teleport provides secure access for cloud applications and infrastructure that doesn’t get in the way. When implementing strict zero-trust rules you sometimes need to escalate and elevate privileges. By leveraging PagerDuty, you are able to alert the request and approve or deny system access. Using PagerDuty’s schedule feature, you are able to dynamically assign administrative privileges based on who’s on call. This greatly reduces the scope of access. Teleport and PagerDuty together provide security best practices that are easy to enforce.

As of July 2021, the average number of events managed daily by PagerDuty is 37 million, with 61,000 of those being critical incidents.
