Ownership

Always up to date ownership

Never be surprised by an orphaned service. Assign ownership of services and Cortex will automatically keep it up to date by syncing with your Identity Provider.

Cortex’s unified data model
Data & reports

The most extensible out of the box data model

Cortex’s unified data model was built to inherit the entities and relationships you’ve already defined, so you don’t waste time re-writing logic that connects your IdP, security, monitoring, and other tools. Use logical defaults to ensure consistency, or adjust to suit any use case.

Enterprise expertise

A trusted partner for every phase of your journey

Whether you’re focused on developer self-service, or just want to know who owns what, our team of experts is ready to accelerate your journey towards engineering excellence.

"Prior to Cortex, it was impossible to track what services aligned with best practices we defined. Incidents would be caused by assumptions that standards were followed—which was rarely true."

“Cortex was a critical piece of our Log4j mitigation effort. The ability to easily identify owners and correlate Snyk reporting really allowed us to focus on getting patched instead of managing spreadsheets and lists.”

"One of the biggest improvements we’ve seen since implementing Cortex is in our Mean Time to Restore—which we reduced by 67%. Being able to quickly find service information is a small operational change that has enormous impact.”
