Modern cloud application security done right

2023 GLOBAL CISO REPORT
CISOs struggle to manage risk due to DevSecOps inefficiencies
As cloud environments become increasingly complex, organizations are adopting DevSecOps to innovate faster without compromising security.
We asked 1,300 CISOs about the challenges they face on their journey to DevSecOps maturity. Here’s what they told us:
- 77% of CISOs say it's a significant challenge to prioritize vulnerabilities because of a lack of information about the risk they pose to their environment.
- 62% of organizations use four or more solutions to maintain the security of their applications, which makes work much more complicated.
- 88% of CISOs say DevSecOps would be more effective if all teams worked from one platform that was intrinsically integrated into their process.

Seamlessly integrate DevSecOps for better business outcomes
- Obtain real-time, full stack application security insights to release better, more secure software faster
- Automate application security into CI/CD toolchains to mitigate risk and lower exposure time and business impact
- Promote security awareness and ownership for more efficient collaboration and improved effectiveness

A new approach to cloud application security powered by AI and automation
Reduce the cost of investigating logs related to a current or suspected security incident, like an application attack. Quickly and confidently verify what happened, leverage observability context to analyze, and take proactive action to strengthen defenses
Deploy confidently with continuous automatic coverage for dynamic containerized cloud-native stacks
Plug into existing tools and processes to intelligently automate the creation, assignment, and resolution of vulnerability tickets. Automatically validate if critical application vulnerabilities are fixed before releasing to production.
Prevent, identify and resolve exposures faster with precise risk and impact assessment
Proactively detect vulnerabilities across all layers of your application stack in real time. Confidently implement countermeasures and remediate with automated analysis of runtime context and security intelligence.
Quickly investigate application security incidents
Unify, store, and contextually analyze massive volumes of application security data with speed and cost-efficiency using a causational data lakehouse.
Audit and forensics
Unlock value from all your application security data by automatically connecting and analyzing logs together with all other observability data. Immediately investigate logs relevant to an application security incident to audit what happened, identify attack paths, and determine counter measures.

As part of our digital transformation journey, Auto Club Group adopted a multi-cloud strategy, along with agile and SecDevOps approaches to delivering modern applications. However, these practices can introduce gaps in security and observability on exploitable vulnerabilities in the run-time stack, like the recent critical Log4J Shell vulnerability. Turning on the Dynatrace Application Security Module™, we were able to quickly identify vulnerabilities while having the capability to continuously monitor the security environment in our critical business applications.Gopal Padinjaruveetil CISO at Auto Club Group
