Dynatrace is a software intelligence platform that allows you to automate numerous functions, even by solving a series of problems automatically. It is adopted by companies such as Alitalia, Docebo and Royal Caribbean. The company announced the availability of a new module, Dynatrace Application Security , which introduces functionality RASP, Runtime Application Self-Protection , both for applications in production and for those in pre-production.

Dynatrace Application Security, the cloud-native module to protect business applications

The new Dynatrace module dedicated to security extends the functionality of the software intelligence platform by introducing advanced RASP features . It was created to overcome the limitations of traditional security solutions, not always able to guarantee the necessary visibility and protection to cloud-native applications : the high number of false positives and the need to intervene manually require IT teams to invest a significant chunk of their time. Dynatrace Application Security automates and speeds up these operations .

Cloud-native applications are increasingly popular, so much so that IDC estimates that within on 2022 on 90% of business apps will be developed in this way, thus prompting companies to rethink their approach to the security of these ever-changing environments. Below, the main features of the new Dynatrace module, which allows you to:

• Identify vulnerabilities in production and pre-production environments, including their impact and priority for the business, and eliminate false positives.
• Achieve full coverage of vulnerabilities by leveraging the discovery capabilities provided by OneAgent.
• Accelerate risk and impact analysis, repair and collaboration leveraging Davis artificial intelligence to automatically identify changes, prioritize alerts and get feedback on the source, nature and severity of the vulnerabilities.
• Provide detailed information on vulnerabilities and ensure access to the information needed to fix the code.

“ We have been working on this platform extension with early adopter customers for some time now and we are excited to bring our first set of features to market “- explains Bernd Greifeneder, founder and Chief Technology Officer of Dynatrace – “ Dynatrace Application Security gives organizations security managers the confidence that their production and pre-production environments are protected through runtime analysis continuous and automatic, allowing DevSecOps teams to focus on what matters, understand vulnerabilities in context, and proactively resolve them to drive faster and safer release cycles. Just as we have redefined the performance monitoring and management market by leveraging the transformative impact of the modern cloud, we are doing it again in the cloud application security market “.
