This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic. Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse.The most common causes of this issue are: And data silos are definitely a big contributor to inefficiency.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. How much do you lose every hour that your employees can’t work because the network is down? Every day that low-and-slow data theft goes undetected? Or every month your projects and goals are pushed back?īy answering these questions, you can figure out what fixing inefficiencies is worth to your organization. But we can think about it in terms of how much you value your teams’ and your organization’s time. It’s hard to determine any concrete numbers without delving into a lot of hypotheticals. We created a video that explains this particular challenge in more depth:Įssentially, it slows you down not just because you have to look at each data silo one by one, but also because you have to figure out which bits of information are relevant to the problem you’re investigating. Imagine trying to investigate a problem, and having to manually check each data silo and try to piece together relevant information? (Actually, many of you have probably had to.) Even estimating NetOps and SecOps apps at a fraction of those, it quickly becomes overwhelming.
Other sources point to an average of 508 applications per enterprise. 9% of respondents even said between 1001 – 3000. 23% said as many as 500, and 15% said as many 1000. 54% of respondents said they have as many as 200 applications on their networks. In 2016, F5 asked organizations how many applications they have in their portfolio. Data Silos Prevent You From Seeing the Big Picture This leads to critical errors, workflow gaps, and increased risk to business. But often, SecOps doesn’t have access to that in their tools, and has to get the data by directly interacting with NetOps. But there are many situations where one could use the other’s data to solve an issue more efficiently.įor example, many security threats can be detected much more quickly by analyzing traffic data for unusual patterns. NetOps and SecOps each have different tools and interfaces they use to do their jobs. On the other hand, a team may hold data that would be useful to another team were they able to access it. How can you determine which one is the most accurate or up to date? You also risk overwriting the current data with outdated data. If you’re trying to find budget somewhere, this may be the first place you want to look.įurthermore, in certain situations, the contents of those data silos will likely differ slightly. Setting aside redundancy and fault-tolerance, why pay extra to store the same data in multiple places? Letting different teams access the same dataset is much more efficient. Each situation causes several problems.įirst of all, storage costs money. There are two overarching situations that arise from data silos: multiple teams either store the same data or they store complementary, but separate, data. In short, data silos cause wasted resources and inhibited productivity. Or one department may simply not have access to a valuable app from another department because it was not purchased for their specific day-to-day tasks. Technological: Applications might not be used, or even designed, to cross-reference or add to each other.Structural: Especially in large organizations, data silos can stem from a hierarchy separated by many layers of management and highly specialized staff.Cultural: Competition or animosity between departments can cause those employees to keep data from each other, rather than working together.Data silos can result from several factors, including: This blog will discuss, from the perspective of NetOps and SecOps, what data silos are, why they’re bad, and what they cost.Ī data silo is a situation wherein only one group in an organization can access a set or source of data. This problem is exacerbated in IT, where any loss of time can incur huge costs. Data silos, while common, are huge sources of inefficiency in any department or organization.
