Automated Incident Response
Automated Incident Response with Enterprise Observability
Introduction
Unplanned outages bring operations to a standstill and every minute offline carries a hefty price tag. For a large Malaysian telco, even a one-minute interruption can translate into RM 25,000 or more in lost transactions, reputational damage and remediation costs. By combining enterprise-grade observability with automated response playbooks, organisations can transform noisy, manual processes into lightning-fast, policy-driven actions slashing Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and protecting RM-denominated revenues.
Who This Is For
CIOs, IT directors and operations managers at Malaysian banks, telcos, GLCs and large enterprises anyone responsible for ensuring 24/7 service availability or who feels the impact of downtime in Ringgit will find practical guidance here.
Operational Challenges
Alert Overload: Monitoring tools generate thousands of alerts daily, causing fatigue and missed critical events.
Manual Playbooks: Relying on human-driven incident response introduces delays, errors and inconsistent remediation.
High MTTR: Slow investigation and resolution inflate RM losses and erode customer trust.
Siloed Toolchains: Disparate monitoring, ticketing and automation platforms hinder end-to-end visibility and action.

Supporting Data
RM 25,000 per minute is the average cost of downtime for a Malaysian telco, extrapolated from global industry reports and local revenue models.
Organisations with automated incident response see up to 70% reduction in MTTR, translating to RM 300,000+ in monthly savings for large enterprises.
Teams using integrated observability platforms spend 50% less time on firefighting, freeing resources for strategic projects.
Real-World Example
A GLC’s digital-services division struggled with nightly batch-job failures. Manual investigation took 45 minutes on average, costing roughly RM 1.1 million per incident. After deploying a unified observability stack (logs, metrics, traces) and configuring automated playbooks to restart failed jobs, they cut MTTR to under 5 minutes—saving over RM 900,000 per incident and liberating their SRE team for innovation.
Curious how this could work for you? Let’s schedule a pilot to demonstrate these results in your environment.
Solution Overview
Unified Data Ingestion: Collect logs, metrics and traces from on-premises and cloud workloads into a single observability platform.
Smart Alerting: Use dynamic thresholds and anomaly detection to surface only high-business-impact incidents.
Automated Playbooks: Define policy-driven runbooks that trigger remediation actions (restarts, scaling, fail-over) automatically via your automation engine.
Closed-Loop Feedback: Feed post-incident telemetry back into your observability system to refine alert rules and playbooks continuously.
Benefits
Drastic MTTR Reduction: From hours to minutes—freeing up over 70% of your operations team’s time.
RM Cost Savings: Avoid RM hundreds of thousands per incident through rapid, consistent response.
Enhanced Resilience: Automated remediation ensures critical services self-heal, maintaining SLAs.
Operational Transparency: Dashboards give management real-time visibility into incident trends, root causes and cost impact.
