Abstract
**Make Data Easy with Observability Pipelines**
With business decisions being driven by data, the stream of data continues to grow by 250% year over year. Join Sidd to learn how observability pipelines can help simplify collecting, onboarding and managing your data platforms. You’ll learn how decoupling your data ingestion system from your analysis system can give you flexibility of choosing the right tool(s) for your data while keeping your work simple, repeatable, and maintainable. Optimize your existing SIEM, UEBA and other analysis tools by routing only the relevant data to the right place, in the format that allows each tool to perform optimally or test out new platforms by cloning data to multiple destinations.

Afterwards, we will have our usual networking portion afterwards, possibly at a local watering hole!

We are very excited to see you all.
