• Integrate threat detection into OTEL pipelines
• Define security-aware SLOs

Toolchain

OpenTelemetry + SIEM + unified dashboards (Grafana, Splunk, Datadog).

Benefits

• Faster incident response
• Holistic visibility
• Automated threat alerts based on behavior

Conclusion

Combining observability and security builds resilient systems ready for compliance.
