Application Security

Traditional approaches to application security can’t keep up with constantly changing multicloud environments and fast-moving DevSecOps processes, causing blind spots and uncertainty about exposures and their impact on cloud-native applications.

Most application security tools require manual configuration, take a long time to produce results, and can’t distinguish between a vulnerability that is a real exposure vs. a potential exposure—so they alert on all of them. As a result, your developers waste precious time and, software innovations slow down.

In the production environment, most vulnerability scanners miss scanning containers in Kubernetes clusters that spin up and down rapidly. They also have no knowledge of the runtime context of your applications, therefore can’t distinguish between a vulnerability that’s exposed to the Internet vs. one that’s protected by a firewall. As a result, you get a poor understanding of your real level of risk.

Dynatrace® Application Security solves all of the problems described above by providing automated runtime vulnerability detection and risk assessment for cloud-native applications across the entire software development lifecycle and in every operating environment, including dynamic multiclouds and Kubernetes clusters. Using proven Dynatrace OneAgent and Davis AI technologies, Dynatrace Application Security gives the C-suite confidence in the security of their cloud-native applications, while accelerating innovation by automating many of the manual security processes that DevSecOps teams are currently struggling with.

Dynatrace Application Security is the latest addition to Dynatrace Software Intelligence Platform. As such, it requires zero additional deployment effort, no configurations, no new agents, no scripts, and is 100% automatic.

• 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.

• 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.
• Identify vulnerabilities in Kubernetes infrastructure and applications running in containers, virtual machines, and traditional servers.
• Prioritize “crown-jewel” protection through automatic service flow analysis from publicly available data.
• 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.

• As compute environments and software architectures change, security must do the same. A new approach is now possible, based on the convergence of observability and security.
• Dynatrace Application Security leverages observability information — what is happening inside your application, plus what is happening in your production environment — along with our proven Davis AI engine and OneAgent technology to produce fundamentally better application security.
• Dynatrace’s automated runtime vulnerability detection helps you understand each risk quickly and completely, allowing you to accurately prioritize which vulnerabilities to fix first.
• Dynatrace’s runtime threat detection and application self protection (RASP) will enable your applications to automatically detect and block threats, without constant tuning or rules adjustment.

The way modern apps are developed and run is changing at light speed, and traditional tools for securing them just can’t keep up.
