Visibility Team is a critical part of HCP with a mission to provide observability data to the customers. Observability data is important to our customers to understand their security and reliability posture. Initially, we focused on streaming platform and product audit logs to Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems like CloudWatch, DataDog, and Splunk Cloud. We are now expanding to integrate with additional SIEM systems. Visibility Team also delivers events through webhooks and email to notify internal and external customers of the HCP platform.
