oftware intelligence company ,

Dynatrace , has announced its entry into the cloud application security market with the addition of a new module to its industry leading Software Intelligence Platform . The Dynatrace Application Security Module provides continuous runtime application self-protection ( RASP ) capabilities for applications in production as well as preproduction and is optimised for Kubernetes architectures and DevSecOps approaches . This module inherits the automation , AI , scalability and enterprise-grade robustness of the Dynatrace Software Intelligence Platform and extends it to modern cloud RASP use cases . Dynatrace customers can launch this module with the flip of a switch , empowering the world ’ s leading organisations currently using the Dynatrace platform to immediately increase security coverage and precision .

“ Dynatrace Application Security delivers full runtime detection ,” said Julien Bourteele , Chief Information Security Officer at Stelliant . “ This makes us feel much safer because it ensures we don ’ t have blind spots and we ’ re not wasting time chasing false

positives . This helps us innovate faster and with more confidence .”

IDC predicts that by 2022 , 90 % of new enterprise applications worldwide will be developed as cloud-native , using agile methodologies and APIdriven architectures that leverage microservices , containers and serverless functions . Traditional approaches to application security can ’ t keep up in these constantly changing environments . Despite having invested in multiple tools to manage security threats , organisations continue to have blind spots and uncertainty about exposures and their impact on cloud-native applications . When vulnerabilities are detected , current approaches require manual processes that deliver imprecise risk and impact analysis and force teams to waste time chasing false positives . In addition , accelerated innovation and DevSecOps processes have shifted security testing ‘ left ’, placing more responsibility on developers to ensure code doesn ’ t have vulnerabilities . With no time for teams to manually analyse , assess and manage risks based on sampled or scheduled scan results , even the most common and well-documented

vulnerabilities can remain undetected and open for hackers to exploit .

Dynamic cloud-native environments have disrupted application security , creating what is estimated to become a US $ 18 billion market over time . Dynatrace Application Security is purpose-built for this opportunity and enables DevSecOps teams to innovate at the speed required by the business while simultaneously ensuring security . By combining automated RASP capabilities with core platform strengths , Dynatrace Application Security enables organisations to :

• Precisely identify vulnerabilities in production and preproduction environments , including what they impact and their business priority , and eliminate false positives with real-time topology mapping delivered by Smartscape and distributed tracing with code-level analysis from PurePath .

• Gain complete vulnerability coverage and never miss a code change or new deployment with automatic and continuous discovery and instrumentation , powered by OneAgent .

• Dramatically speed up risk and impact analysis , remediation and collaboration with Davis AIassistance to automatically and continuously identify changes , prioritise alerts and deliver precise answers about the source , nature and severity of vulnerabilities .

• Provide detailed , high-quality vulnerability information and ensure access to the insights needed to fix potentially compromised code through built-in integration with Snyk Intel . u
