Why are AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) necessary for incident management at the current time?
In November 2023, Blue Yonder, a supply chain tech provider experienced a ransomware attack, which crippled Starbucks’ employee payroll and scheduling systems, and disrupted inventory for UK supermarkets like Sainsbury’s and Morrisons.
In 2024, a faulty software update from CrowdStrike affected millions of Windows users and impacted critical industries.
It is clear that traditional incident management strategies are struggling to keep up with the diverse IT risks.
Instead of reacting to security risks and disasters, you need systems to predict, prevent, and automate responses so incidents don’t cripple operations. Let’s uncover how AIOps can resolve such incidents and secure mission critical systems.
How predictive analytics and automation are amping up incident management
Are predictive insights absolutely necessary for effective incident management?
Judging by the severity and ingenuity of cyberattacks and evolving risks, yes. And that’s one of the use cases of AIOps.
In a way, AIOps changes how enterprises handle incident management. It combines machine learning and big data analytics to identify anomalies, correlate events, and automate remediation.
This lets you focus on real threats rather than chasing false alarms.
So why is this necessary?
- Event correlation: AIOps analyzes millions of logs and alerts in real-time to detect patterns across systems.
- Anomaly detection: Instead of waiting for failures, AI flags unusual behavior before it escalates.
- Automated remediation: AIOps detects problems and fixes them.

In fact, IBM says that AI can reduce IT alert noise by 50% and eliminate 80% of the time spent fixing false-positive incidents. This means you can spend less time sorting through endless notifications!
Accelerate incident management with real-time AI detection & resolution
No one likes to wake up at night to manage a crisis, especially if it’s not a genuine alert.
Take Sony PlayStation, for example. Their IT teams were drowning in alerts, constantly escalating issues, and waking engineers at 2 AM. The company integrated BigPanda’s AIOps and cut down alert noise, allowing their Network Operations Center to spot real issues faster and reduce downtime.
Like Sony, many organizations are adopting AIOps to enhance incident management.
Companies like Dell also offer AIOps to cut through IT complexity. Their APEX AIOps platform delivers AI-driven observability and incident management, helping IT teams resolve infrastructure issues 10X faster.
7 Strategic benefits for AIOps-driven incident management
Now, let’s take a deeper look at how AIOps makes IT operations proactive and more cyber resilient.
1. Improved decision-making and resource optimization
AI-driven decision intelligence enables faster, data-backed decisions, helping you to allocate IT resources more effectively.
Gartner predicts that decision intelligence will become mainstream within five years, enabling businesses to optimize IT resources and incident management through predictive insights.
2. Proactive issue resolution and enhanced reliability
If you can identify issues and resolve them before a severe impact, then you can prevent costly disruptions. That’s why you need AI-driven solutions.
Back in 2022, Forrester predicted rapid growth in AI-driven software. By 2025, AI-infused software is expected to grow at a 22% CAGR.
This means you can leverage real-time monitoring and AI-driven insights at a lower cost, detect issues faster, and take proactive action.
We can also say that resolving issues before they escalate will become a standard practice shortly.
3. Stronger security posture
Automated threat detection reduces security risks while being compliant with evolving regulations.
We’ve seen how cybercriminals leveraged AI-driven attacks since the launch of GPT. Now, hackers also use generative AI tools to optimize their attacks.

Traditional cybersecurity methods for business resilience are not adequate. However, Advanced AI-driven solutions can detect ransomware in less than 60 seconds, using machine learning to analyze data patterns and identify anomalies in real-time.
4. Enhanced application performance and continuous delivery
Detecting performance bottlenecks early can help prevent slowdowns. AIOps continuously monitors app performance, optimizing resource allocation in real-time.
AIOps also enhances CI/CD pipelines with real-time visibility into app deployments. It identifies risks in new code releases, automates performance testing, and correlates logs across stages.
5. Improved customer and user experiences
Resolving incidents swiftly has a domino effect, leading to enhanced customer experiences.
That’s why Fortune 500 companies adopt AIOps for incident management and to improve customer satisfaction.
For example, a Fortune 500 retail company struggled with data overload from millions of daily transactions. Their IT teams faced delays in detecting and resolving incidents, leading to downtime and frustrated customers.
After implementing AIOps, they:
- Centralized data from multiple sources
- Automated root cause analysis
- Used predictive analytics to detect potential issues on time
This led to:
- 70% faster incident detection
- 60% reduction in resolution time
- 99.99% uptime, even during peak events like Black Friday
6. Optimized cloud resource management
How much do you spend on the cloud? IDC estimates that 20-30% of cloud spending is wasted. But slashing budgets without a plan can backfire.
AIOps automates resource allocation across cloud platforms, helping you to manage multi-cloud environments efficiently while reducing costs.
7. Streamlined and automated IT operations
Everyone knows automation eliminates manual errors. It also reduces response time and improves efficiency for incident management workflows.
For example, BMW uses generative AI to automate root cause analysis, cutting diagnosis time and minimizing disruptions. This allows teams to resolve incidents faster with 85% accuracy.
How Rocket.Chat’s AI amplifies incident management
Rocket.Chat’s AI can predict, detect, and help resolve issues faster without compromising security. It summarizes unread, lengthy threads and customer conversations to make informed decisions.
Intelligent incident detection & smart routing
Traditional systems react to incidents after they happen. However, by connecting Rocket.Chat with monitoring systems, alerts about potential issues can be automatically sent to dedicated channels, enabling teams to address problems before they escalate.
Secure, real-time communication for faster resolution
Rocket.Chat enables encrypted, real-time messaging across classified networks like NIPRNet and SIPR so you can share critical information across teams.
- Communicate across on-prem, air-gapped, or cloud environments without data leaks
- Maintain full data sovereignty and compliance with customizable access controls
Rocket.Chat’s proven success in secure communication
NATO CCDCOE uses Rocket.Chat in its cyber defense exercises for real-time communication. This helps participants stay connected, make quick decisions, and respond effectively to simulated cyberattacks.
