Elastic’s Jared Pane on engineering resilience into defense infrastructure

Jared Pane, Senior Director of Solutions Architecture, U.S. Public Sector, at Elastic, discussed the importance of engineering resilience in critical defense infrastructure, emphasizing the need to build systems for failure rather than perfection. He highlighted the significance of NIST standards, segregated networks and regular disaster recovery drills to ensure continuous operations. Pane also stressed the necessity of a unified data store for managing the ever-growing data volumes, leveraging metadata and integrating AI to enhance decision-making and operational efficiency. He emphasized the importance of having a comprehensive data management system that can handle data from various environments, ranging from air-gapped to cloud-based, to support timely and effective decision-making.
