Cloud Application Security
A new era in Cloud Application Security powered by AI and automation
What is cloud application security?
Cloud applications are versatile and agile because they can be created and deployed very quickly, but this also makes them prone to security risks. Many cloud applications in industries such as manufacturing, public services, healthcare, retail, education, and utilities are vulnerable to various application vulnerabilities.
Cloud application security is a combination of policies, processes, and controls that help reduce the risk of cloud-based application compromise or failure from external or internal threats.
A new era in cloud application security, optimized for Kubernetes and DevSecOps
Dynatrace® Application Security provides automated runtime vulnerability detection and risk assessment for cloud-native applications across the entire software development lifecycle. Using proven Dynatrace OneAgent and Davis AI technologies, Dynatrace Application Security gives the C-suite confidence in the security of their applications while accelerating innovation by automating many of the manual application security processes that DevSecOps teams are currently struggling with.
Deploy confidently with continuous automatic coverage for dynamic containerized cloud-native stacks
- Run fast and be secure. Our automated, real-time security aligns with your DevSecOps speed and your cloud automation practices.
- Eliminate vulnerability blind spots with 100% automated deployment in both production and pre-production.
- Automatically keep up with changes, including multi-version deployments, runtime container updates, rollbacks, and elastic scaling with real-time detection, alerting, and re-validation.
- Ensure that only high-quality code moves through your delivery pipeline by automatically evaluating code against your security policy and rejecting insecure code.
Prevent, identify and resolve exposures faster with precise risk and impact assessment
- Understand the true risk of each vulnerability. Davis AI automatically generates a unique risk score for each potential vulnerability by combining information from Snyk’s vulnerability database with Dynatrace Smartscape topology and PurePath® attack vector analysis.
- Save 70% of the time your developers spend on remediation, and thereby accelerate software delivery.
- Speed vulnerability remediation by identifying the required upgrades and/or potential workarounds through native integration with Snyk.
- Act rapidly and collaborate for fast resolution by understanding impact with service-flow, root-cause, real-user-sessions, and log/event data, all in context.
The state of application security in 2024
When it comes to cybersecurity, it’s more important than ever to have organizational alignment. And that requires better communication among the security team, chief information security officer (CISO), CEO, and board-level executives.
While security is a top-of-mind issue for every organization, the focus is often on high-profile risks, such as ransomware and phishing, and regulatory compliance. Therefore, there’s often a limited understanding of technology-centric risks, such as gaps in the organization’s application security strategy.
In this report, we explore the challenges facing CISOs as they look to increase their organization’s overall understanding of these issues. Additionally, it highlights the importance of a unified observability and security strategy to improve an organization’s risk posture.
