Dynatrace
announced the expansion of its security portfolio with a new Cloud
Security Posture Management (CSPM) solution. For enterprises managing
complex hybrid and multi-cloud environments, Dynatrace CSPM can
significantly enhance security, compliance, and resource-efficiency
through continuous monitoring, automated remediation, and centralized
visibility.

Dynatrace CSPM extends its existing Kubernetes Security Posture
Management (KSPM) solution and enables organizations to manage their
entire cloud security posture through a single, unified platform. The
solution aggregates and contextualizes security and observability
information, can integrate with or replace existing hyperscaler-specific
solutions, and provides insights into the security posture of both
applications and the infrastructure they run on. This comprehensive
approach reduces operational complexity and can enable continuous
monitoring against regulatory technical standards and benchmarks such as
PCI DSS, CIS, and GDPR. It also significantly reduces the time and
resources required to strengthen and maintain a robust security posture
in hyperscaler deployments.

Customers are using the Dynatrace Application Security and Threat
Observability solutions today to assess and prevent exposures, detect
threats, and investigate security incidents through comprehensive
analytics across observability and security data. The new CSPM
capabilities complement existing Dynatrace security features to deliver
protection across the full stack including applications, containers, and
cloud infrastructure.

The powerful Dynatrace AI engine, Davis AI, and the
Dynatrace GrailTM data lakehouse combine security and observability data
in context to provide comprehensive insights across code, libraries,
language runtime, and container infrastructure. This enables
organizations to automate remediations to move from reactive to
proactive security management and automated risk analysis.

Philip Bues, Senior Research Manager, Cloud Security at IDC said: “Cloud
security teams get thousands of alerts every day. I’m excited about how
observability context could provide Cloud Security teams with the
ability to prioritize alerts, enabling them to remediate those that
really matter.”

“Modern enterprises need security solutions that can protect their
entire technology stack, from cloud infrastructure to running
applications,” said Steve Tack, Chief Product Officer at Dynatrace.
“With our unified solution, organizations achieve a single-platform
approach that delivers continuous security insights, AI-ranked risk
analysis, and automated remediation that can remove blind spots,
automate adherence to technical standards, and significantly reduce
complexity.”
