Introducing findings in the Vulnerabilities app: Unified, granular insights for smarter security

The new Findings tab in the Dynatrace Vulnerabilities app introduces a unified, analytics-ready view of all security findings across your Dynatrace environment and integrated tools. By exposing atomic-level findings alongside existing stateful vulnerabilities, you gain deeper visibility, faster investigation, and greater potential for automation.

With advanced filtering, deduplication, and visualization, teams can reduce noise, compare results across tools, and integrate findings directly into dashboards and workflows, thereby accelerating remediation and improving their overall security posture.

The challenge of fragmented vulnerability data

As organizations adopt more security tools and operate across hybrid and cloud native environments, vulnerability data becomes increasingly fragmented. Security teams struggle to correlate findings, assess real impact, and prioritize remediation across disparate sources. Existing solutions often provide siloed views, lack integrations, have limited filtering and analytics capabilities, forcing teams into manual triage and slowing response time. Such complexity makes it difficult to gain meaningful insights, scale vulnerability management, automate workflows, and consistently reduce risk.

Empower security champions with unified findings and advanced filtering

Until recently, the Vulnerabilities app main view focused on Prioritization, featuring a display of stateful security problems, for example, specific CVEs or code issues affecting multiple process groups, along with a reachability assessment and the history of the problem.

Findings are the atomic building blocks behind these problems: individual security results tied to a specific issue, moment in time, and affected object.

With the new Findings tab, Dynatrace consolidates all vulnerability findings—whether from Dynatrace vulnerability detection or integrated tools—into a single, unified view. This allows analytics-ready data, precise filtering, segmentation, and cross-tool comparison, while empowering deeper insights and automation, all serving to accelerate remediation and improve your overall security posture.

Drill-downs and analytics based on atomic data

The new Vulnerability Findings feature delivers a unified, granular view of all security findings from Dynatrace and integrated tools. It simplifies vulnerability management by consolidating fragmented data, enabling faster root cause analysis, and supporting automation for remediation workflows. This improvement provides holistic visibility across environments, atomic-level detail for each finding, and analytics-ready data for advanced automation and security insights. Key capabilities include powerful filtering (by CVE, score, vulnerable component, severity, and remediation availability), deduplication to reduce noise, and interactive visual timelines for trend analysis.

Use cases

  • Investigation: Security teams drilling down into specific findings for detailed investigation, viewing findings affecting a specific component, object or adhering to a specific CVE
  • Comparison: Comparing vulnerabilities across multiple tools, affected objects and environments
  • Automation: Quickly building dashboards and workflows for proactive monitoring and automated response: the Findings tab is Grail native and therefore easily integrates with other Dynatrace apps
  • Targeted remediation: Segmenting findings by metadata (e.g., leveraging Primary Grail Fields like Kubernetes namespace) for targeted remediation

Upcoming enhancements will introduce flexible grouping features to make it even easier to grasp the value of vulnerability findings. You’ll be able to group findings by CVE, vulnerable component, or affected object for faster analysis and prioritization.
